Livid has announced a new system of components, Livid Builder, designed to make it easy for you to create custom MIDI Controllers.
Livid Builder is centered around the Brain, a class-compliant, bi-directional, USB-powered MIDI device, and the BYOB (Build Your Own Board), a series of perforated modular circuit boards for buttons, knobs, sliders, and LEDs.
See the Livid site for Builder details.
If I have to build it myself it better be mad cheap.
Very right!
200$ for core module + more for pots , knobs buttons etc … too much 🙁
The point of this device is not to be cheap but configurable. You want cheap, do MIDI over Aruduino.
Support for up to 179 buttons and 64 analog ins is well worth $200.
