Making a Novation Launchpad From Scratch

  • In this video, I build my own DIY midi music launchpad from scratch. This project can also be referred to as a 64 button midi controller or Adafruit's untztrument soundboard. I used Adafruit's tutorial for the wiring and software, and I used Tinkercad to design a case to print out on my Tronxy 3D printer. All of the credit for this project should go directly to Adafruit.

    It's obvious that buying a launchpad is way easier than building it by yourself, so as you're here now, can you simply shut up and appreciate this guy, his experience and passion instead of writing unnecessary comments? thank you, have a nice day :)

    • @chanhien4000

      It seems like most haters comments are from the kiddies that neither understand the purpose of DIY nor what he said at all.

    Surprisingly easy on the electronic and software side of things, creating an interesting shape for the controller is the hard part, I feel if I was attempting something like this, it would have to be an interesting design to make it worth it, but I really like what you did, not being a musician will make a lot of people smile. 😊

    @tho1st Před 7 lety +2

    Instead of ripping the pins off of your arduino, I'd suggest investing in a desoldering pump or desoldering iron. You're probably not going to damage your components by just ripping off the pins but, there is a small risk. It's more useful if you wanted to remove something like a through-hole IC or possibly reuse the pins for whatever reason. Anyway, good video and well presented.
