Latest project "Custom M3D Dicer Edition"

[djlotus]

I have thought about it in general, but seeing that most controllers I am familiar with would require much more room I didn't entertain the ideas very long. Also, I can't think of any practical ideas which aren't covered in the dicer layout. Buttons on the side are out of the question, and DVS only allows for so many controls anyway. I am open to ideas if you have any.

One idea I've had for a bit now is to put a triangular pattern of 15 buttons where I am locating the dicers now. The pattern would look similar to this:

o
o o
o o o
o o o o
o o o o o

The thing I like about this pattern is I could make it to suit the customers needs interchanging Pots, Momentary contacts buttons, or double throw buttons, or even toggles.

Adding the usb out would be easy enough but I couldn't find any multicolored buttons small enough, and I don't think I want to mess with adding an led for each.

This is fantastic.

I don't know why this wasn't thought of earlier to be honest...great work.

I can't take credit for the idea. I saw a link on djforums where this cat JR did a horrifically ugly custom set for someone and built the Dicers in. It looked like garbage and had a wooden deck plate. Looked like he was going for a retro look but didn't marry the technology with the overall look.
I said to myself, I can do that and make it look fucking unbelievable. When done the decks will be painted white with a blue pearl finish and the standard blue LEDs.

Settle down there. Just posting a pic of someone (Jazzy Jeff) that has this mod and its not a crap job (like the guy you got the idea from). No need to act like a little girl

I guess I am good company.

Slow down guys, this is one of the fewer forms where the people are still nice with each other, let's keep this this way.
