Hi everyone, I'm sure it has been posted here somewhere but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer to my question, so here it goes..
I'm interested in building a MIDI controller to control plugins in my DAW. It will be controlled with a Teensy 3.6 utilizing encoders, switches and leds. Nothing groundbreaking. What I'd like to do is combine a unit for a compressor, an EQ and a limiter in one 4U rack, which means I'll need quite a couple of inputs. Can 3 Teensies be linked in a Master/Slave configuration so that they all output their data through the Master's USB port? Thus only one of them will be connected to the PC/DAW, and the entire thing will be one controller. Can this be done with either the RX/TX pins or the I2C? I've only found projects here that the opposite happens, where a master passes data through to the slaves.
I'd also like to get feedback from the DAW to visualise things like Gain Reduction of the compressor with VU meters (just some LEDs). Do any of you that did similar projects know a way to send MIDI messages from the DAW to the Teensy? I can't seem to find a working version of PizMIDI!
*My DAW of choice is Reaper (x64).
Thanks for any help and for keeping this oasis of information up for newbies!
