I've been looking for MIDI pad controller that could be used instead of 5 octave MIDI keyboard... not happy with results, so... 'designed' one myself

-5x12 = 60 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, one line = one octave, possible versions with different amount of octaves
-notes and scales highlighting
-pitch and mod wheels
-octave up and down buttons
-root note switch buttons
-some knobs and faders
-transport controls

I'm curious your opinion about it, would u use it ?

hope some developer would make something like this, so far asked at Native Instruments forum, wonder what they gonna say...

Roger Linn made the LinnStrument with the advatage that it supports MPE and does not need an extra pitch bend wheel or modulation wheel...

Yeah, you're pretty much talking about Ableton Push. Check it out, amazing tool.

well... that prices though

still, my goal is 12 pads / 1 octave per line, not any other config like Linn and anything else ^^

Buy an iPad and create your control surface with TouchOSC. You can create exactly what you designed above and maybe some variations on it too.

custom MIDI pad controller instead of MIDI keyboard
