Examples of other work

MVP
- For a minimum viable product, I need to accomplish my goal of developing multi-functional faders, faders which function as encoders and buttons. So, I need at least a simple casing to house the electronics, which would at minimum be four complex faders.
The Plan
- I want to have, by the final deadline, a clean and polished product with four multi-functional components, four programmable single buttons, and a tactile controller for directional interaction, all sending MIDI messages to my computer via USB.
Unlimited Time + Resources Vision
- With unlimited time and resources, I would want to expand on my current idea and revisit my original concepts for a modular MIDI controller, with multiple separate modules of faders, potentiometers, button banks, tactile controllers or joysticks, and piano keys.
Materials Needed
* X-Large Linear 10k Taper Fader -- 4x
* RGB LED Rotary Encoder -- 4x
* Circular RGB LED Singular Button -- 4x
* 5-Way Tactile Switch -- 1x
* Power source -- 1x
* Arduino -- 1x
* Frosted Black Acrylic
