I finished my project.

It's Universal Neve 1073 controller.

Image

Used Arduino UNO Clone. 3 analog pots, 5 encoders + buttons. Freq. selectors are analog pot and gains are encoder.

Encoders works as rotary encoder + button. It's better for fast and easy usage.

- PRE/MIC : Encoder controls preamp gain. Button controls switching between Mic Pre / Line Amp.

- <-CH : Encoder controls low gain. Button selects previous track.

- CH-> : Encoder controls mid gain. Button selects next track.

- OUT/EQ : Encoder controls output level. Button works as bypass button.

- (UI) HIGH : Encoder controls high gain. Button is opening or closing GUI.

Tested with all 1073 plugins and DAWs.

I used Arduino Clone cause it's my first attempt and i don't want to pay more. So, i'm using Hairless Midi to make it work. Really easy...

Total cost (included Arduino UNO Clone, case, knobs, pots and encoders) is $21!

I am not an Arduino expert, but for such basic things any should do...

The Arduino itself is surely not the issue / bottleneck.
We are the KVR collective. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Image

12 rotary encoders will need 24 pins (or 36 if you want button functionality per encoder too), so, yeah, probably a Mega, unless you want to start messing about with muxes.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

Thanks for replies!

I finished my project.

Please, see first post for details.

Any good tutorial or diy guide for making a small arduino midi controller like this? I want to make one with about 5-6 knobs. Thank you in advance.

PM me too please :)
Duh

Hi,
could you please elaborated on how you did this controller? I want to build something similar and your controller seems to be a good starting point. Thanks.

Edit: I stumbled over this thread on Gearslutz and wonder who is who.
