Something mentioned in the hardware synths thread
prompted me to ask
this question...
So how does one go about adding buttons/knobs/switches that do
specific things to a standard computer? My best example of this is
the Muse Receptor - it is a standard computer, yet it has knobs that
do various tasks. I realize there is a hardware and software answer
to this question, but I'm more interested in the hardware part.
In other words:
1)Where can I buy a knob?
Mmmmmm... knobs...

OK, seriously.
I have for sale, a PCB with 8 rotary controllers, another PCB with 9 faders, and a third
PCB with 8 drum pads and their rubber buttons that go with them, available to anyone who
wants to use them for a MIDI or USB controller project. All you need is an Arduino, a
soldering iron, and a multimeter, in order to build your own bad-ass controller with
knobs.
All three boards were salvaged from the M-Audio Axiom 49. AFAICT they all still work (it
was the motherboard that died on the Axiom). I can scan pictures of them if you really
like.
Anyone interested, make me an offer, either for individual boards or for the whole batch.
I need the money. I'll find a way to ship anywhere in the world; these things
don't weigh much.
