you can never have enough control surfaces

@ozzelot ehhh, the MPK is more like a mini music keyboard so it's mostly just the pads at the top and maybe the knobs I could use, but given how many faders I have at my disposal here it's already pretty ridonculous.
@gsuberland more knooobs

@ozzelot I think I can also technically use my Pioneer DDJ-FLX10 as a huge MIDI surface, but that would be extremely disorientating to use in this context lmao

@gsuberland looks like a good starting point imho

@ozzelot if I had an APC40 then I'd 100% use that here, 'cos the rotary encoders on that are lovely, but one of those costs over 4x what an APC Mini Mk2 does.

@gsuberland on a second note, there are not enough motor faders in this picture

@xchange it's ok, one day I'll build my own bootleg grandMA3 command wing, complete with motor faders

@xchange oh, on a sad note, Bourns are discontinuing pretty much all of their good motorised faders

@gsuberland on the last new years eve the guys from the other floor had a fullblown gma2 replica plus fader wing they bought on aliexpress for 2k or so and it somehow made its way through customs and they managed to get it running with original software
it was kind of impressive and they told me their computer must never ever ever ever be connected to the internet. not sure i would do this for myself but i was a bit jealous

I also have an MPK Mini Mk2, but I don't think I have much need for that here.
at some point I need to build myself a little USB MIDI thing that's just got a bunch of nice jogger knobs on it, maybe with a nice laser cut diffuser so I can have an LED ring around each one to mark positions.
-
@discatte @ozzelot my plan at some point is to build a long fully custom control surface with rotary encoder jog wheels, each with a ring of WS2816B-2121 LEDs for indication and position marking. not hard to set that up for USB MIDI.
that'd then be a good starter project to get more familiar with the stack, ready for when I eventually build a custom grandMA3 Command Wing clone for onPC (complete with motorised faders)
