When I started my Teensy Guitar Audio project, I really appreciated the discussion and feedback I got on the development thread. So let's try it again with my next project, a touchscreen MIDI controller!
Here's the initial concept. Use the the 2.8" touchscreen here and build an interface board that contains the Teensy.
I want to use it control my audio effects running on my TGA Pro board via MIDI, but it could be used to control any MIDI device from synthesizers to lighting. I'd like the graphical interface to be better than crudely drawn boxes and labels for buttons and switches. I'm planning to use sprites of knobs, switches, etc to give it a nicer look and feel.
Planned features
- rotary encoder knobs (with built in push button)
- 5 pin MIDI in and output jacks
- at least two 1/4" TRS jacks for connecting external expression pedals or footswitches (like this or this).
- extra RAM as runtime sprite memory
- extra FLASH for storing skins, sprites, presets, etc.
- DC power supply and jack to switch between USB power and external power
Here's a basic concept diagram showing the above.
Any thoughts?
