Help with controllers, keys, pedal and ... more keys?


#1

Hello.

So I ordered my axolotis for a project which involves some custom controls, as seen in this image:

So we are looking at a

  • 5 left hand keys + 6 right hand keys
  • 1 left hand wrist bar
  • 3 right hand side keys

There would also be:

  • 1 pedal
  • a number of pots

Most keys would control filters, one would be a 'silence' key, the wristbar would switch source between noise and osc, the pedal is a pitch pedal, and the other pots control things like pedal range, vibrato, volume, etc.

I am reproducing an old speech synth called VODER, many of you may know about it.

I do have help from some people who are good with axoloti and hardware in general, but I thought to get to know the community I could aswell ask for oppinions myself on how to approach this.

There are two things I would like to know your oppinon about.
- What kind of controllers, hacked controllers, modules, parts... to use (I am not looking to reproduce 100% the same disposition and looks, just their functions, but keys should be separated per hand)
- How to plug them to axoloti

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
