Build a Programmable USB Midi Controller - FADR-4 

Glad you like it!

Thanks Melanie!

Thanks Terry!

Thank you Louie! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Peter!

Good to hear!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks iFaber!

Thanks Paul!

My thoughts exactly!

Oh indeed. That corresponds exactly to my own experiences. Micro USB is a royal p.i.t.b. It is the worst and at the same time the most widely used USB connector type. Goes probably well along with planned obsolescense.... Yay....

@@BothoHohbaum I ALWAYS thought that, but thought I was being too cynical 🤣

@@els1f...and the creator of the final device can even blame the producer of that part. Win - win - win! I guess we figured it out. ROFL

Thank you!

Hi Pierre by any chance are you the maker of Nuances controller?

@@mohitrahaman not at all ;-)

Thank you!

You can add more faders. A lot of code changes would be required though.

Just add a trimpot on the PCB inside. Items like that don't need to be adjusted as often.

You could do it in the code as well by adjusting the brightness variable.

@@NotesAndVolts - Yes.

I'd love to see this too :) I know how to send potentiometer data to a DAW, and how to read data *back* from a DAW to update a motorised potentiometer position, the trick is doing both these things without the data clashing; like I'm moving the slider as the DAW is tryna also update it

He shows you how to modify this to use motorized faders in the FAQ at the beginning.

@@HazeAnderson Ah yes, kind of. I admit i skipped through the FAQ so thank you for pointing that out! However, he doesn't show how you modify it, he just says you can use other faders as long as they are 10k and linear taper. But on the topic of how to modify it to control the motor from the teensy... he doesn't show. But of course, he mentions, that he doesn't want to do a million iterations himself and that's absolutely fair of course

@@michaeldmoch4348 I set you up. :) But hang on .... we never addressed the practicality of using motorized faders for a controller that slings MIDI CC in the first place. What, apart form just LOOKING COOL, would flying faders BUY you with THIS controller? I cannot think of any. You say "I want to automate the motion of the faders for my DAW tracks!" Well, you have to perform that motion AT LEAST ONE TIME, so just RECORD IT INTO THE DAW. You say "I want MIDI CC from my DAW to make the faders move!" Well, this is a MIDI OUT device, not MIDI IN ... and even if you COULD process MIDI in ... all you are gonna do is just make some motors turn. This device is meant for TRANSMISSION. There is ZERO practicality in adding flying faders to MIDI CC controller like this. Can you not accept that this device is perfect and needs no additional features? Please remember that he did not build this device for you and your needs, he built it for a client and that client paid him for his work. You can watch this video for free. Would you like to hire Dave to build you a personalized motorized fader device?

Thanks for the info genghisbunny. $100 is way too much! I saw the LC on Mouser AU listed at $23.15 AUD which seems about right. I pay about $17 USD for mine.

It should show up as "Fadr-4" in your daw.

I've done it - easily replace the LC with 4.0. Only need to change the processor type in the header.

Absolutely! Just install it next to the fuzzy dice

I believe you need to hook this up to a computer host

@@NotesAndVolts - Got it!
