Hi Interesting video, love the basic setup and the expansive explanation from beginning to end, great for starters! So keep em coming. I do have some tips however for soldering and the case making. First for the case: When drilling holes I can recommend three things. One: you can tape the front of your box when drilling with masking tape, this can prevent some of the damage the drill makes; two: put the inside of your box on a smaller hard surface (for example cheap mdf) when drilling, when you do this you are less likely to splinter the bottom and you get much cleaner holes; third: hand drills are great for DIY, however when you have a drill press I can highly recommend using this as it is far more precise and will involve way less clean-up. On the soldering part, I saw you used wires meant for breadboarding (the jumper wires), these are great, however using stranded core wire makes it easier to solder and is more flexible (and likely cheaper than jumper wires), furthermore you can also use shrink tubing more easily. I can also recommend resin/flux cored solder, it is a bit more expensive, however is is amazing when soldering, just coat everything with the solder and then connect, its easy and fast. P.S. Thanks for this video, really love it wish there were a lot more videos for introductions to music DIY equipment.
+jortband Thanks! These are great pro tips. Appreciate you sharing. They will indeed come in handy for future projects and videos. Will be sure to utilize this in my new workflow.
hey, i am using 6 analogue inputs and 1 button (digital input) do I have to change the code for this? can i just leave the code the same as the original and my mac will just see less inputs than there actually are.
2019 version case can be 3D printed 🤘🏽 Faders crackle and fail pretty easy. You can protect them from debris by making a slice of felt between the board cutout and mount. Nice video. Thanks.
these faders can have a 100n capacitor across their output with confidence and still work fine; - they are only giving DC voltage.... - personally I always wanted to make touch controlled faders...
Lmao, I see their reason. I know this is just a quick tutorial to show us how it's done, but I bet that those chinese child workers cringes at his soldering skill.
Hey quick question. wonder if you will know the answers. If I am using less analogue and digital inputs than there are in the code that he has written will I still have to change the values for them? for example do I have to delete the button code where it says 1:3 etc..and just have 1 of 1? And with the analogue inputs do I have to change it to my number or can i just leave it as 8 anyways
if you covered both sides of the lid with painter's tape before drilling that would help with the splitting, or just use a sheet of acryllic for the top instead.
i have been eyeing my midifighter original and my broken vestax vci 100 se - thinking " a scratch + button masher box would be just what i need for my traktor D player" if I just had some bonus hours then this would be a great intro to that
Thanks, about to do something similar. Didn't know that teensy had midi over USB support, you just saved me a ton of time by not fooling with midi serial.
Hi... nice video. I did a similar project a few years ago with an arduino UNO. I actually used a power router with a very thin bit to cut the straight lines out for the faders. It worked really nicely because the router has a guide edge so you get a perfectly straight cut. The finish looked really professional. Just thought I'd share that with you. ANyway... nice work
Don't do the soldering technique used here, this can cause cold joints and insufficient wetting. it's much easier to just to apply the solder to the pad and pin directly and then melt it.
@@PrinceWesterburg Actually, flux just helps the solder flow onto the target joint, it does not increase the viability of the joint. The point that the solder is being attached to is still cold, causing the solder to not attach to it properly. To properly solder, you have to heat the solder joint itself (i.e. the Teensy's solder point and the wire) and touch the solder to the heated joint. This will cause the solder to bind to the heated metal. If you heat the solder then try to attach it to cold metal, the solder will envelope the metal and begin to cool but will not adhere to the metal itself, forming what is commonly called "a cold joint". This can lead to weak electrical connection/signal, as well as joint failure where the unadhered wires can simply slip out of socket. A perfect example of this in the video is when he soldered the Teensy itself and the solder created bulb forms. The solder should have flowed down into the joint and adhered to both the pin and the hole, not formed a droplet on top of it. That droplet indicates that the solder did not attach to the metal beneath it.
I love how you make a point of mentioning the proper step up process when drilling but then do absolteuly nothing else and still almost ruin your material.
Really good video, now i really want to make one ! But it would be great if you could make a video with a bit more of theory, how to program, what we can do, all the different teensy board we can use, or other thing like this. So we could create exactly what we want ! But it style a great video, and don't stop, DJ TechTools is the best "music channel" i know !!!
***** Great idea! Thanks. We didn't get to cover everything, just some basics, but would love to do a follow up video with more theory and other board options for further discussion. We just wanted to show the cheapest and simplest way to get started.
Your soldering technique will create weak/cold solder joints. They're likely to crack under stress/vibrations. If you plan on performing in a club where volume levels will be quite high, I recommend NOT globbing solder onto your joints. Use some decent flux-core solder, apply the iron to one of your metal contacts, not to the solder. Apply solder to the opposite contact, again DO NOT TOUCH solder to the iron. The solder will take to the contact and flow toward your iron if the two pieces of metal are heated well enough, and share enough surface area. This will create a strong joint resistant to vibration damage.
I will chime in here a good tutorial but his soldering technique in the video needs work as you have a lot of weak and cold solder joints which is what you don't want when your soldering this technique is how I learned soldering properly which produces much stronger joints and a lot less cold joints
Using hook up wire rather than breadboard jumper wire would clean up the interior. You can cut everything to length and make it sexy. Just be sure to strip the wire, twist it together and tin it with a little solder before attaching to your components.
I'm doing a project very similar to this, using the Teensy 2.0 as the brain. Because the Teensy only has one active and ground pin do I wire up the active and ground chains in series or parallel? It doesn't specify and this could affect the voltage that each part gets...
6:57 what do we call those parts ?? fader !! its not in the list n i could not find it in amazone or google . the end wiring part is very complicated could not get the wiring thing ?? :(
I've got an obsolete Novation Nocturn, which has 8 rotary controls on it and one slider, I wonder if it would be possible to turn it into a MIDI controller, like this one. I hate throwing things away, but there's no software available for recent OSs that'll make it work.
Welcome! In this video there are 4 potentiometers, 4 faders and 4 arcade buttons. How many potentiometers and faders and buttons together we can use in one project using arduino uno?
+Bert Plays well the real answer is how can we put more analog inputs ?? building a simple 4 channel 4bands eq midi mixers for traktor for example..?? :) all the parts like jogwheels are not complicated using potentiometer and the learn function on the software but we first need the answer for the first question
very informative video, I enjoyed it but was curious to know if Bluetooth technology would have too long of a response time considering latency but still would love to try it just for the fun
Please view a soldering tutorial, the way you solder is definitly not the way how you should do it. Add the solder together with the iron to the joint. The trick is do melt the solder not with the iron but with the heated up component you want to solder. Nice Video anyway!
You are Joseph J: Cool: What a fabulous idea. Also I am inspired by the fact that you have the same cheapo but controllable soldering iron that I found on ebay.
Excellent!!!!!! I really love it! could you please tell me if I can use an arduino uni or an arduino Leonardo instead? if yes could you please help me with the software? could it work with virtual DJ or dj softwares? thank you!
This time I'm trying to remove knobs. I only ever use 1 anymore; and I'm trying to add that to another sketch; a HID keyboard plus a gamepad analog stick. I'll figure it out eventually. EDIT: I got it. Different libraries, bashed my head against example code for a bit.
is it going to make a different if I build this in the UK in terms of power rating etc... ? I'm guessing not because it isn't connected to the mains. Also is this controller bus powered by the USB cable? Thanks
Very cool idea. Using arduino plc built-in a DIY midi. Awesome it works!!!. Will that arduino work with my Maschine Studio software and combined with the controller maschine midi plug ? I was thinking to buy a new brand 16+master midi+effects. Just to take the digital out convert into analogue, arrange and get set to digitalize back again. Best,
Im from germany and dont know what a MIDI controller is, but hey, RUclips said that I should watch this video, a midi Controller must be very interesting
Thank you very much for the tutorial, sorry for my poor english jajaja... I have a question. To this project I can add a multiplexer to place more knobs ?, I would have to modify much of the code or just to add the knobs to the code would work?
What a good Job!!! Thanks man. sorry if it's an old video, but can i use a regular Arduino as midi card? Sorry for my silly question, i'm french and i don't really understand all what you said in the video.

24mm forstner bit would have worked a lot better for larger holes. I used a 24mm and a 30mm when I built my arcade stick. Cuts nice circular holes in both wood and plexiglass.
yo Kyle.. never got the knobs working properly and tore the midifighter clone down.. I recently acquired a yamaha toy keyboard for like $4.. problem this time is coding the key matrx. once I get it I will post a link to the code in the comments
if you want a clean look to your wood then before you drill just clamp another piece of wood to the side opposite to the direction you're drilling. this will keep the wood from chipping out and looking crappy. Also if you're going to use a dremel make sure to use eye protection!
Hey I've built myself a midi drum pad following this videos instructions, however, I am having a problem because Logic does not seem to recognize it as a Midi Device but as an external device. All I have is 6 buttons. When I altered the coding i may have messed something up. Can You Help?
Hey could you explain what led you to go with Teensy instead of some of the other options? Been looking at Livid Builder. I think it's a little more expensive but it seems so straightforward
So, did the midi mapping stick after you did it once? I am trying to figure out how to store midi maps on the brain so that it automatically maps different DAWs
I was wondering why I kept getting constant random inputs. For less pots, just set appropriate number of analog inputs and start at correct pins. I only have 2 pots and one button and just left the 4 buttons in the code. With 8 analog inputs, 6 pins were left floating. I literally change one character in the code. Pot volume control on PC through Voicemeeter is nice. It doesn't need intermediary software to work either.
Can i use push button on a breadboard for arduino, then use the sketch. would that work? then i can avoid soldering. Can the arduino run the whole thing by itself?
Cherry or Oak wouldn't be so nasty to work on. The dremel would cut and sand it pretty nicely. Harder is better unless you want something that'll crush with a single hard fall. Otherwise, very cool project. Looking into the parts it's not much cheaper making your own. Large part of why I just went ahead and bought the MIDI Fighter 3D and Twister.
All the "kits" are quite small for my needs. I need a platform that can support at least 100 analog knobs and some digital encoders, is there one? I want the midi controller to be usable, I already have 24 knob controller, I need more.
As a dj and electronic engineer, i'll just say: that's what I was waiting for.

To get a cleaner job drilling the large holes - use a forstner bit not a spade bit - and back up every hole with a scrap piece of 2x4 or similar.
Forstner bits are the best. I never use a spade anymore.
