The Meaty MIDI is a little project I have been working on for a while. It is an Arduino based USB MIDI input device that you can use to control plugins inside a digital audio workstation.

You will need:

1 - Teensy++ 2.0 https://amzn.to/4aW1ioG

1 - Mini USB cable https://amzn.to/40UywR0

1 - USBC breakout board https://amzn.to/41ejTJF

2 - 5.1k resistors https://amzn.to/3QgVdKc

29 - Mechanical keyboard switches https://amzn.to/3CAEKNS

29 - Keycaps https://amzn.to/3QElGSd

6 - 10k potentiometers https://amzn.to/41aIajM

1 - 10k slide potentiometer (60mm) https://amzn.to/42RAXGs

16 - M3 12mm cap head bolts https://amzn.to/4hVLPri

16 - M3 nuts https://amzn.to/4k0kbv5

24 AWG wire https://amzn.to/4hSTTJc

I did not write the code for this project. All the programming credit belongs to Gustavo Silveira AKA @NerdMusician on YouTube. Gustavo is a great teacher and a master of Arduino powered MIDI devices. I used Gustavo's Arduino MIDI Controller Code Generator to write the program for the Meaty MIDI. Please check out the @NerdMusician YouTube channel and website.

\r\n

Calling all the DJ makers! Did you know that Josef Prusa himself got into 3D printing because of DJing? Back in 2009, he needed custom accessories for his DJ gear, so he tried 3D printing\u2014and the rest is history.

\r\n\r\n

Now, we\u2019re bringing things full circle with a special design contest for DJs!

\r\n\r\n

Hercules and Printables are teaming up, and we want to see your most inventive solutions for mixing on the go. Whether you're a pro or just starting out, this is your chance to win a brand new Original Prusa MK4S Kit, incredible Hercules gear, and a bunch of Prusameters! \ud83c\udfa7

\r\n

The Challenge

\r\n

Design something that makes DJing on the go smoother than ever. Think portable, practical, and a touch of pizzazz. Maybe it\u2019s a clever way to carry your gear, a compact setup station, or an accessory that streamlines the mixing process. Bonus points for designs tailored to the DJControl Mix, but universal solutions are totally welcome too. Just keep it functional, stylish, and compatible.

\r\n

No Controller? No Problem!

\r\n

Don\u2019t own a Hercules controller yet? No worries\u2014Hercules has your back with all the dimensions, drawings, and files you need to get started. Use them to craft a design that\u2019s functional and stylish.

\r\n\r\n

Ready to turn your ideas into reality, or do you need a little inspiration? \u2b07\ufe0f
