I can't find anything about "making midi hardware" i wan't to make myself a midi switcher for my rack......
And a foot-controller..

Can anybody help me with this??

Thanks,

Go with a microcontroller - probably Atmel or Microchip (PIC)

ucapps.de has a midi footcontroller project for you.

I notice 40,800 hits on Google for

diy midi controller

some on the first page looked pretty useful.

Thanks Paul,

I'll give it a shot..

There's a bunch of midi diy fx links here:

another bunch here:

also there is Tom Scarff, not sure if he still sells boards, but think his code is free to download:

good luck! (this is the tip of a very big iceberg)

Hi!

This is the MIDI footpedal I built and it has done its job ever since ...

It's based on a PIC which has to be programmed. Thorsten, however, is so kind and programmes the PIC if you send him one and pay the shipping.

The ten momentary switches are more expensive than the PIC and voltage regulator. I salvaged the LED Display from an old alarm-clock;)

Have fun

I'm going to build that.  I bought an Alesis NanoBass off E-Bay recently.  While reviewing the code for that thing, I noticed that there was an assembler option to allow it to send MIDI note number information -- thus possibly creating a bass pedal!   :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

The thing about it, though, is that the code as designed will only produce twelve tones -- you'd go from C to B.  However, it would appear that there are still some available pins that could be pressed into service with a few lines of added code.

I'd like to also tweak it to allow for the possibility of selecting multiple octaves.  That could be interesting...
