I’ve been wanting to make a simple/compact USB footswitch for ages, but couldn’t think of a super compact enclosure. Finally got around to trying it with some u-channel aluminum stock I had and it works well! Doesn’t feel like it’s going to topple over or anything. I’ll test it on a bunch of different surfaces (tile, carpet, etc…) to see if it holds up, but at worst, I can add a small amount of bracing.
So doing a 4 button MIDI-over-USB thing, and instead of going with red LEDs (like in the pic) I’m gonna go with MIDI controlled RGB LEDs, so I can show button status etc…
You know what they say, once you go decoupled-feedback, you can’t go…back…
And while I’m here, I’ve built a whole mixer for TPV2. The UI for it will be tweaked as I was just getting it ‘working’, but it has built in compression/convolution/eq for all input/output channels, multiple input/output signal buses, with all routing to/from the buses (and karma modules) being controllable. (This means it will be possible to have completely separate signal paths in the same TPV setup!) The fx slots are still just placeholders, but each individual slot will be an fx matrix where you can have multiple parallel/serial fx routings, with the Splits mechanism I demo in the TPV thread.
