Finally. Midibox is go!
I’ve been planning for months, and thinking about it for at least two years, and I’ve finally ordered my Midibox kit from SmashTV.
For those not aware Midibox is a open source custom midi controller project designed by a nice chap called Thorsten Klose and let free into the world for those of us who cannot find the right midi controller for our needs. There’s several types of Midibox. Some for boxes with motorised faders, some that are stand alone midi sequencers and even SID chip based synths. All are build at home and decidedly non-commercial. In fact you can’t even sell your midibox without asking permission!
I’ve salvaged my pots, found some illuminated buttons that I can afford and the kit should be here in the next few weeks with any luck.
First stage is to get the Core and I/O boards built which by all accounts is not too bad and with any luck by the time I’m back from the WWDC I’ll be well on my way to start testing.
