Looking for feedback on my Drum Computer
I'm cooking up my dream drum computer/controller. It is 100% tied to my own needs. Still; I'm super curious how you'd approach some of the design problems I faced.
This'll be a midi-first controller connected, meaning all the controls and displays will be interfaced via midi first; so it can always expand to controlling:
- a custom drum setup in VCV rack, Ableton, Max, etc.
- an Elektron box
- a Daisy Seed inside running a drum machine synthesis.
It doesn't contain any sequencing, that'll be done via my Oxi One or Elektron box. I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to do parameter locking, but that might just be a design challenge that I could work out when I have a standardized way of sequencing it.
I've made a huge midi controller in the past which I use constantly (2nd picture). One thing I don't like about that is that it is "function-less"; a bank of 72 controls (6x12). Since I love hands-on controls of my drums (sequencing and playing) I wanted to make a midi-controller that is very much tied to one function.
Edit: Yes the 2nd delay effect should say Reverb, wrong label.
