I’m always geeking out on music hardware and have a soft spot for DIY projects like the one you see above. I came across this custom MIDI controller by William Logo and was pretty impressed by the looks of the thing, especially considering that it was built with off mostly the shelf parts for under $400. I’ve been wanting to build my own custom controller for the Tycho live shows (to control VDMX, which runs the visuals) but I’ve never found the time to get anything started. It’s nice to see someone pulled it off with some aesthetically pleasing results. And I’m really loving the vibe of the photos, great tone.
For all you music geeks out there, I’m just decided to lighten my VDMX MIDI controller load by swapping out the big Akai APC40 and heavy Vestax VCM600 for a Novation Launchpad and a M-Audio X-Session that I’ve had lying around. We’ll see how the new setup works out for the upcoming shows.

You must be Tycho, if so you are my idol. How can you create such beautiful music? I can’t stop listening it’s so sad how the world concentrates on image and not music(gaga, bieber etc) thanks for your music…
Beautiful build of a UCAPPs kit. Inspiring to see these dedicated builds. Makes me think of Robert Henke’s Monodeck. http://www.monolake.de/technology/
oh no… oh yes!
This is brilliant. I’d love to use it. Great find.
I wonder what the little people (1/2/3/4) buttons are for.
Wow! I LOVE this! It’s one of those “why didn’t I think of that” devices.
