I have always wanted to build a USB MIDI Controller that consists of 8 potentiometers in order to control the parameters of the VST-Plugin in the DAW that I use to play music.
In my case the DAW software I use the most is ABLETON LIVE so I wanted my MIDI Controller to be Plug and Play e.g USB MIDI with no need of extra software in order to be recognized from the DAW so I used an Arduino Pro Micro.
I also wanted it to be AUTO Mapped with the parameters of the VST plugin and not simply with the Track Channels which makes it super easy and user friendly leaving room and time to enjoy playing an not tweaking the ABLETON settings every time I plug the MIDI Controller to my PC.
Finally I would like to have some visual feedback of the potentiometer values so I thought that RGB Leds around it would be really handy!
Now only 2 things are left to be done :
a)Design and 3D print a nice Case to put everything inside
b)A custom PCB to minimize the space needed for the components.

For the PCB board pcb manufacturing process I chose PCBWay which is sure to find quality and economical boards with the features and color I want. You can order the Crius Vertical Infinity v1.0 PCB at the following link: www.pcbway.com

    Next I will solder the Arduino on the PCB or optionally the 24-pin DIP Socket in order to be able to replace the Arduino in the future.
