Comment on DIY MIDI Kits by J450N N4ME

Can you talk a little more about this or show a picture, please, thank you. Or give a link.

Well, I was talking to the guy from U-Hid about translating the message of the U-Hid board into midi. He told me that the U-Hid sends keyboard codes so any 3rd party program that interprets keycodes would be able to process the info from the board without a go-between program like junXion. I hung up the phone and got to thinking…..”wait a minute, I can just march right in to the apple store and see how much a new keyboard costs. Then I can assign hotkeys to it and paint it without ruining the functionality of my MBPro keyboard.” Well, the keyboard (with the numeric pad) was only $50. I bought some Sharpie™ Paint Markers (not the normal Sharpie™, these daddies are oil based) and painted up a loop and beat juggling setup that mirrors (closely) the GUI on Traktor Pro. 18 of the buttons do not send useable data to Traktor Pro, so I painted them silver to match the background of the keyboard.

I ended up with 80 buttons for $50 and an extra USB port. Added to my APC40 and my Xsession Pro…….I’m in no short supply of buttons. Hotcues live on the APC40 and the loop/beatjump controller is COMMITTED to each deck- no toggling to make 1 button do 4 things in 4 places. (I’m a little slow with switching pages so I wanted everything accessible all the time for all 4 decks). I hope the picture helps (if it loads for you). cheers.

My Baggy (note that I’m a diggital DJ):
- Windows XP setup CD
- Buch of cables and connectors (1/8″TRS Male-Male; 1-2 Stereo RCA; 4-8 RCA-1/4″TS converters; 1/8″TRS-1/4″TRS Headphone jack converter; etc)
- custom built connector for splitting one stereo output to Master+Cue in case soundcard dies
- power extender cable with one Ground lifted on single connecting slot (nobody likes ground loops). Altough I’m working on a laptop power cable (clover connector) with a on-cable switch for ground lift.

I use lemons all the time. still thinking how to implement them into my VCI.

Yeah, Ean, any special hidden mapping features that will allow us to use these lemons?
Controllerism would take leaps forward!

Build us a Lemonfighter!
