The Dragon Midi Controller

[SkyaTura]

é sem duvida uma das coisas mais bem feitas que eu ja vi, parabens

[hherman55]

I would buy this TODAY if it works with Logic and PT9. I LOVE this controller!!!!!

[mrweasul]

can i please buy the midi controller

[RnBVocalistoPeppino]

hey man when is this controller avaliable to purchase ?????

[SoundbombSoldier]

ive never seen anyone put it that far with cubase. Brilliant.

[EntertainerCentral]

WoW learn to focus!!!

[pierbover]

Hey Paulo, the idea of putting knobs over an lcd screen is genius. You could create templates for most software synths, and even a tool for letting users creat their templates (even if they are only a static bitmap)

[PauloEgidioSilva]

@pierbover I already did that :-) But the software has an screen which allows you to make your OWN new template.

[Eleni999]

@PauloEgidioSilva

this is simply brilliant. The perfect, indeed ultimate controller.

[mackringl]

@PauloEgidioSilva And where can you download this software/templates?

[valentinchabot]

Very intresting! I have a question : how did you modify the GUI of the plugins so the software pots on the screen fit the hardware ones? I would be pleased if I could tweak the GUI of some VSTs in order to make them match with the arrangement of my control surface's pots...

Thanks

Val

[PauloEgidioSilva]

I do not modifiy the gui of the plugins :-) Not only it will be VERY dificult, if not impossible, if would lead to all kinds of legal issues. What I do is put a simple user BITMAP and let the user choose a transparent color. When you see the dials moving you are seeing the gui plugin behind my form. The program moves the gui windows to a position which can be altered by the user so the plugin gui keep itself under the form.

[PauloEgidioSilva]

The program does the drawing of the pot POSITION - which is a simple yellow bar, all else is a user bitmap. I let the user create it so it will be easy to anyone to program more plugins - there's a configuration screen for plugins which is not shown at the video. There you can configure which plugin parameter is tied to which pot and or button - altough is difficult to see, there's 22 on/off buttons at the bottom of the device. People only sees the pots :-). Thanks for asking!

[dragonsagoth666]

Would this work with Reaper? :)

[gix10000]

star trek graphics? HAHAHAHA!!!!

[downwithdinosaurs]

@gix10000 yeah LCARS, wooo!

[urucubacadark]

Ce eh loko mesmo mano, nunca tinha visto algo tao funcional quanto isso!

Voce pretende vender algum modelo?

[Lassombra]

e ai loco véi... tem como me passa o link do forum esse pra da uma olhadinha lá? adorei isso ai... eu mexo um pouco com mido, mais por hobby, e queria tirar uma idéias de lá.

abração

[teeno7]

wow. how can a similar setup be obtained?

[PauloOfStorya]

You'll have to be a professional c++ programmer... there was a technical discussion at the kvr forum, altough if you want more info :-)

[teeno7]

cool. cant u get funded to patent, manufacture n sell this kinda stuff ?

[PauloOfStorya]

Patent, no. Funded, don't make me laugh. :-(

Manufacture? I'm doing this for about a year, now. I'm half of the way.

perhaps I would be selling this next (2010) year.

Thnaks for asking :-)

[RallyCat909]

Im loving the whole Starfleet theme. Nice.

[BackboneNF]

Wow very good Idea!

How long does it take to recode the gui for the specialized plugin for the controller lcd?

[playcom2000]

Paulo, I'm very impressed!

I have EXACTLY the same mixer (01v96v2) and I use Cubase too!

I'm really interested in your work! Please... could you give me some informations on how to build the WONDERFUL touchscreen????!

Simon

[marcksom2007]

Paulo, very good, i like a lot, congratulations

marcão(the cable man) abraços

[Retinal56]

Yeah, I'm well aware of it unfortunately :)

Well, go PT and you sold another one!

Anyway, keep up the really good work man!

[zab666]

is it just me, or does this look like star trek?

[PauloEgidioSilva]

hehehe. it does. Look for a more detailed discussion at gearslutz... or kvraudio

[valentinchabot]

@PauloEgidioSilva

[Retinal56]

Man, the screen controller is great!

What about Pro Tools? Will the plugin controller work with it?

[PauloEgidioSilva]

hmmm. probably yes, but with a lesser degree of integration, since pro tools is a closed system. They see controllers as competitors, since they also sell hardware...

Paulo

[Dokdude]

Great! Brilliant! I'll buy it.

[mizifioTKD]

hey Paulo, you really got the point!!

hope it won't come up too expensive.

congratz!! it is a real cutting edge in cotroller's market.

orgulho de ser brazuca!!

parabéns e muito sorte nesse seu futuro promissor!

[xybre]

Whats your website? I want to bookmark it so I can come back and maybe purchase it when ti comes out.

[PauloEgidioSilva]

When the first unit will be ready and working, we will open the web site. Until then, please come back here for any news.

Thanks for your interest,

Paulo

[ScissorHand26]

This is incredibly cool, are you planning on customizing it to work with Ableton Live as well? I'd love to have a more tactile way of controlling my Live setup.

[PauloEgidioSilva]

After we establish the production, PROBABLY Logic and Ableton will be next...

[skyver303]

You must be getting offers from companies to make this commercially? You are onto something real big here, I hope you go far with this.

[PauloEgidioSilva]

I hope too. We should have the first ones for sale in the 3rd quarter 2009.

[unriselyrical]

dude, you are AMAZING! you obviously have a MASSIVE amount of knowledge, creativity, and at the same time, you are very humble and polite. If only everyone on youtube demonstrating their stuff was as cool as you!

[PauloEgidioSilva]

Hey, that was realy nice...

Thanks, man...

[guidedbyfun]

Meu DEUS....to querendo um controle desse com knobs. Servem para controlar outros programas ?

Parabéns.!!!!

[chapolim360]

Gerda:

We have plans to do this for other DAWs also.

Thanks for your interest!

Paulo

[GeileGerda]

plz plz plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzz

not only for cubase :-(

[Hypogeal1]

Very nice Work Paulo.

Look forward to seeing the auction.

[TNTv]

You are a crazy guy.

[darkclubber]

da até orgulho de ver um brasileiro assim haushasas

[Leobimbogmail]

Men I usually never leave a comment , and its very hard to be impress in a site like you tube, but you this is truly amazing, been able to control so many parameters in the way you just showed out of the box its a great achievement!

If you make this one, for Logic, I would be paying up to 2000 grand, easy

If is only for Cubase, I guess I will have to change DAW, haha

Cheers from Mexico

[PauloEgidioSilva]

Thanks for all the comments.

I´d like to tell you that the first auctions of this product will be available at ebay on the third quarter of 2009.

Best regards,

Paulo

[MyPassionsss]

I mean LOL for "would kill santa for this":D

AMAZING CONTROL. I want it now!

[tearsinraine]

WOW! This is absolutely amazing! Fantastic work! Really well done! And yes, if you haven't already, patent this immediately. This deserves some sort of award!! :)

[PaleHearse]

The idea of having the physical controller knobs over the lcd was nothing short of inspired genius.

I truly believe this is how things will be done.

[JackMcPh1]

Oh goodness do I love the LCARS

[ekeaze]

wow... absolutly fantastic !!!!

[benson187]

That is awesome!

[SandThruFingers]

Probably the sickest thing I've ever seen. Makes me want to cry.

[petelebu]

holy shit i would kill santa for this.

[MyPassionsss]

LOL:D

[eReZ128]

i wouldnt surprise to see your work over on stores in some months

i would recommend you to patent your work

[wallflower19]

Absolutely amazing. Where should I send my check?

[cthulufunk]

WOW! Patent this ASAP!

[ArksunSound]

This is groundbreaking, wow. Taking software control to the next level, superb.

[loneraver2]

It looks like it fell out of the computers from start trek TNG.

[rickhoekman]

Awesome.. Love that plugin controller, just brilliant!

[AdamVanryne]

The plugin controller is fantastic...just fantastic!!!.... I will forward this link to some chums in UAD ;-)

[patchmein007]

Bravo! Very innovative and highly practical solutions. Steinberg should hire you ASAP :-)

[narcoman2]

fantastic - especially the plug in editor. Defo product in that !!

[samthefaderman]

wow....have you thought of making the plugin controller commercially availiable...I use almost only UAD plugs and I would buy that LCD/Encoder panel in a heartbeat! Thanks for showing the big boys how it should be done my man!!

[philpendlebury]

Absolutely stunning. Well done. :-)

[PauloEgidioSilva]

Well, from the guy who created MEAP, I'm flattered!

[philpendlebury]

Hehe. Mutual flattery. :-) Thanks for that.

[barreiros70]

Well done my friend!

[PauloEgidioSilva]

Obrigado!

[jimihertz]

That's very useful , can you point me to more info about this " real hardware encoder on a lcd screen "

[PauloEgidioSilva]

Thanks!

[lynnvm]

Great work, Paulo!
