CUCKOO making DIY MIDI controller

Yesterday I made a MIDI controller with the help from Captain Credible! My initial goal was to make a controller for Ableton Live's LOOPER. But since it's MIDI it can be used for just about anything. It's my first MIDI box, so don't expect anything breathtaking ;) Check it out!

Yo dawg, how did you connect your Microkorg XL to ableton? Would love to know cus I've got one I dont know how to do it. Cheers man!

@ronan63 Hi. The microKORG XL is USB MIDI class compliant out of the box. This means it should be ready for sending MIDI in and out just by connecting it with a USB cable. Try connecting it before you launch Ableton Live. If Live doesn't receive any signals try opening the settings and see if it's in the list of MIDI devices.

Very well presented, well done!

Who designed the pcb?

If you want to go crazy theres some really cool projects on midibox.org where people have made all sorts of controllers, small and huge!

@adriansmithmusic Thank you very much! But, err... now I forgot who did the pcb. Sorry! But my man @captaincredible told me it's not available anymore either way. Next time I'll look into Arduino I think.

@skadicto Arduino can be programed to send MIDI directly or need a converter?

[skadicto]
