How to build a midi controller - DIY virtual analog controller.


I haven't posted on this blog for a while. Busy with my day job and have been out of project funds for a while. I've been kinda quite on the gear building front. But, with Christmas holidays and a little overindulgence, I have found myself with some spare time to build a box or two for next years projects. Something that is quite new for me and has been taking over my music composition fancies is a little application called Ableton Live 9. Being a staunch Pro Tools user for the past 15 years has taken its toll, and to be honest this new (for me), "non-linear" way of making music is causing me to once again gain real inspiration from a piece of software. So I decided to build myself a small midi controller for the purpose of servicing some plugin EQ, compression and synth parameters.
