Mini MIDI Controller with 51 mappable Sliders

Based on a Raspberry Pi Pico / CircuitPython. Eventually will upload source files / code to GitHub.
Selling some starting in August if ya interested:
djbajablast.etsy.com/listing/...
FEATURES
- 16 x Drum Pads w/ RGB LEDs (membrane style keys)
- 3 x MIDI mappable sliders
- Control up to 51 params w/ sliders (3 global, 48 pad-specific)
- Latch buttons to send pad-specific CC msgs with the sliders
- Can latch multiple to send CC messages for each
- Case and keypad is 3D printed in PETG. PETG is flexible and durable, making it suitable for a membrane-style keypad.
HOW TO USE
- Press pads to play notes. Hold function button and press the +/- button to change banks.
- Hold a pad until the light turns blue. The sliders now send pad-specific CC messages. Map to parameters in your DAW.
- Move sliders to send global CC messages. Hold pad(s) and move sliders to send pad-specific CC messages.
- Double click the function button to enter CC mode. Pressing buttons will latch/un-latch pad-specific CC messages. Moving a slider will send the global CC messages if no buttons are latched. Moving a slider will send pad-specific CC messages for each pad that is latched (up to 16 at a time per slider if everything is latched).
USE EXAMPLE
I find this useful for drums. Here is an example setup:
- Map the 3 sliders to parameters that affect the whole kit: Volume, reverb, filter.
- Map each pad specific slider set to sample-specific parameters: Volume, decay/release, filter cut off frequency.
Now it’s easy to change 3 important parameters for each sample in the drum kit, plus 3 global parameters for the whole kit.

amazing!

[@taklamak]

Awesome origami like innovativeness! Where can I get one?

[@KenjiStandlee]

Love the video, the intro music was too loud to understand what you were saying though.

[@djbajablast5425]

Thank ya! And word, IDK what I'm doing with video editing lol so that feedback is helpful, appreciate it.

[@AMPProf]

need a Soldered wire version I have no way to make PCB or pcb Traces. Or cut pcb ( maybe idk remember) OOO MAYbe a Magazine Schematic style one..

[@AMPProf]

what if it can be played while building it

[@shawnpi]

Cool stuff! is the top made of pla? how did you manage to make bend only the part right above the button? any tips of thickness on that?

[@AMPProf]

Betting beting .. You could 1970s that and Solder the whole loose under A diy Box Preferably non flameing

[@AMPProf]

soderr sawder suader sayw dar.. Soldrer. SOLDERED

[@shawnpi]

@@AMPProf what?

[@djbajablast5425]

Yo! it is PETG and took a lotttt of trial and error. I'll be uploading all of the STLs at some point cause I wanna make this open source. The very top is only 0.5 mm thick, with the little slits to help make it bend per button. It has little standoffs on the bottom so that it sits juuuust right above the buttons, so that it barely needs to bend to actually press them. It works surprisingly well if you can tune it just right!
