MIDI CPU: New Instant DIY MIDI Controller



Highly Liquid has introduced MIDI CPU - an "instant DIY MIDI controller/MIDI encoder" that can be used to create custom MIDI devices. Now shipping, for $44.95.......

The MIDI CPU ships fully assembled. Simply attach MIDI connectors, control components, and a battery or DC power supply.

It has a long list of potential applications, including:
  • Build your own traditional footswitch, keyboard, or “knob box” controller
  • Build your own alternative MIDI controller—optical theremin, fret-based controller, etc
  • Generate MIDI note patterns or CC waveforms from digital or analog signals.
  • Re-purpose a “consumer” keyboard, calculator, game controller, or other electronic device as a MIDI controller.
Features include:
  • 24 independent input terminals
  • Monitors up to 128 switches, 14 potentiometers, or 12 encoders
  • Allows mixed input types
  • Merges MIDI input with locally generated messages—multiple units share a single MIDI Out port
  • Powered via battery or DC supply between 3.3V and 12V
  • Measures only 66mm x 38mm
  • Configured via MIDI SysEx message
  • User-upgradeable firmware
