Since the release of the Builder series of DIY parts and components I have created a handful of video tutorials to assist in the creation of your own controllers. Builder was created to help you in the creation of your own controller with little electronics or building experience, but a desire to learn and create. Many of the tutorials thus far have covered the very basics like wiring a single button so I created a tutorial that covers all the components in the builder series and document the process from start to finish.

This controller has  16 small buttons, 16 rotary potentiometers, 4 faders, and 4 medium buttons. The enclosure for this controller is made out of plastic and is cut from the same material as the spacer layer for our button pads. You can use a number of different materials for your enclosure like wood, metal, plastic, or jell-o. This controller took me about 6 hours from start to finish and the video should give you a really good idea on what it takes to make, assemble, and use your first DIY controller.

This week we announced our limited edition St. Ohm64. Two weeks ago we released the block diablo limited edition, and after a few days of voices from only one shoulder, we decided we needed to counter it with some goodness. This is the first time we have released a limited edition “set” and we are pretty happy with the results.

The St. Ohm64 is made from a very light maple, has a white aluminum faceplate, and white LEDs. The LED’s are pretty bright on this model and it looks great all light up. The maple wood also has really nice grain on it and it has a VOC free clear coat finish. We are only offering these models on a very limited basis, first come first serve. You can purchase them directly from lividshop.com
