Hi all!

I'm currently building my own VJ computer with built-in TFT screen and other cool options and I would like to build my own Midi controller. The midi controller will be specifically designed for Resolume. I've found a german site that sells modules for custom midi controllers: http://www.ucapps.de/ (Midibox.org)

Has anyone tried this yet? Recommendations and/or tips would be really helpful since the midi concept is pretty new to me...

Thanks!

Yeah,

I'm working to build one for myself. Hooked up the bts n stuff its all working fine as a midi controller should be. Have yet to finish the casing for it though.

Spent about $300 i think on the whole project, that's cause its my first time with electronics. But i figured that if i know what i was doing (if i did a second one) the cost will be down by half.

Most parts is so easy to copy it off the schematics online that you don't need to buy any curcuit boards from anyone(the costly part for me).

yeah, not to forget, many thanks to bart and edwin. The my layout is largely based on their midi controller.
Cheers
