I finished my midi controller last night. The main board is a Opendeck L. I used a carrying case I found on the internet.

Bought plastic sheeting and cut it to fit. Also found some plastic rails that I drilled into the sides to keep the front panel in place. Drilled all the holes for the switches and pots with my drill. The controller is what I call a 8 channel console.

Like an audio mixer. I made it for my sampler (Octatrack) which is an 8 channel sampler.

Getting some hardware hacking advice

Each channel has a black button for playing the sample on that channel, a red button for recording a sample (that could be played with the black button), and 8 knobs which I have set up as volume, delay mix, delay feedback, delay time, hi pass filter, low pass filter, sample start point and sample pitch.

Basically it gives me knob per function control of all my most used parameters on the machine. It has din midi and usb midi. SO rad. Thanks to Sudo for the soldering gun and desk use and Jake for all the guidance and troubleshooting. Took a minute, but what a fun project.

Wait, does the nav block sit on the footer for this theme? That’s bold.
