Is this the coolest MIDI Controller ever?
Synth-Project’s Mario Jurisch has created the retro Moog style Alphatron SP Controller for H.G. Fortune’s Alphatron VST Instrument. The custom-built controller features 176 knobs, 25 switches and 4 Doepfer MIDI interfaces.
Here’s what Jurisch has to say about this amazing controller:
The Alphatron SP Controller is a Rack Version. This Rack Version will be sitting above the Pure-MCone. The advantage is, that i only need one 10“ Touchscreen and one 5 Keyboard to control both VST Instruments.
With the HOST Program „Candabile Solo“, which is a Multi-Rack Software for VST Instruments and Effects, i can load both VST Intruments into two different Slots and give them a different Midi Chanel.
That means, that i use at the end 4 Doepfer Midi Interfaces with up to 254 ! Midi CC to control both VST Instruments at the same time.
So i have a total of 3 Oscillators, 3 Sample Player, 6 LFO´s, 4 Envelopes, many Modulations and 2 Step Sequencer. That all can run together.
With the Midi Keyboard i can choose the Midi Channel very quickly, so i can play both VST Instruments together or one with the Keyboard and the other with the Step Sequencer or, or, or ….
This case is total 90 cm x 57 cm (about 35 inch x 23 inch)
Best MIDI controller ever?

Super cool. What does it cost?

You’re probably right! On modular synths it seems like all the cost goes into the panels and case.
about $2,000 ;o)

Simply amazing. This guy should build some analog instruments. Somehow I wouldn't feel comfortable with a (Windows) PC inside an instrument.
Well done Super Mario…as Dave Spiers calls you…!!!
