Guest sysex Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm looking for any information on ultra-mini midi controllers. Basically I have a desktop synth I use near my bed. It only has a midi input, however there is no trigger/audition button built in, so I can't trigger any notes without some midi or usb device plugged into it. I was able to set it up with a 20ft USB cable running out of Live 7, and being controlled by my iPhone ITM, which allowed me to have a wireless midi trigger, but I don't really want a 20ft usb cable running through the middle of my room all the time. Has anyone heard of or seen an extremely small midi device that just sends a single note on/off message? Ideally if I could invent it, it would be keychain size with a 5pin din output, operate on 1 AAA battery and be the size of a finger. (*ideally*) The nanoKey would be pretty much perfect, except it's usb only. I basically want to stay away from any of the more common midi controllers out there that are 2 octaves with knobs n sliders n such. Any suggestions or links would be much appreciated... I've been googling this for a while and thought someone here might have looked at or seen something that might fit my description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sysex Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Do you have some sort of disability? actually, at the moment I do. Sprained my left ankle and right leg. But that's beside the point. It's not that I'm lazy, cause I sit on my ass in front of a computer nearly 24/7 already multitasking like a madman. I just figured it would be really nice to take the desktop synth into bed with me for some synthy-time before I pass out or just some drowsy sound design. It's more for convenience than anything. It's a long shot, but i'm also not opposed to a diy kit, If I knew of some decent resources to make such a device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
