I've always wanted an affordable controller for Ableton that can also function as a step sequencer. Drawing on my experience with Arduino and Max for Live, I began experimenting. First, I created the step sequencer. Then, realizing the potential for more functions, I designed a clip launching feature and integrated three potentiometers onto the mainboard. The older version of this controller, which was initially just a sequencer, marked my first project where I learned how to design and print a PCB. The I upgraded that project, incorporating SMD LEDs into the design (and more new feature).
Main fatures:
- 16 step sequencer with velocity control
- adding notes directly to Ableton’s piano roll/sequencer
- modifying the loop length (start and end too)
- Ableton session view clip launching
- 3 mapable potentiometer to control anything Ableton
- visual feedback through smd RGB (ws2812b) LEDs, indicating MIDI notes, velocity, step position, loop length and clips in session view
