Lightbox - DIY Traktor MIDI Controller

[autonic]

Yeah, the costs are running up a bit.

Right now I plan the whole project to total at around $800-$900 for two identical boxes.

I disagree. The only thing that helps me get through the long and tedious task of soldering hundreds of connections, is burning one down...

"If you don't like my fire, then don't come around, 'cause i'm gonna burn one down."

WORD!

Definatley not with power tools though, small burns are one thing, no fingers are another.

Why do you need 3 umc32's?

I understand that you get 32 buttons AND 32 knobs or faders per board. Would 2 not have done the trick ?

[kingnerk]

no its a maximum of 32 inputs made up of either knobs or buttons

Really?

The Hale micro site seems misleading then with its use of AND/OR.

"32 analog and/or digital inputs provides MIDI note or continuous controller data to your host application."

Actually, I need four UMC32's.... (in my original design i needed three umc's for four deck control in one box... now I've changed it so that I will create two boxes with two umc's in each)

[MisterMoleyMole]

That makes more sense! So its only 2 per unit and your making 2 of them on the front page.

So the website is right. You could have 32 buttons and 32 faders from one UMC32?

[boileroo]

nope still only 32 inputs per umc! for instance i have 16 buttons, 12 knobs and 4 switches on mine

Exactly... and the other box will have the letters C & D accordingly.

So what does AND/OR mean then?
