Sounds like a custom project to me, but it is possible I suppose.

What could be easier for a tech head than a oversized midi controller with 64 Akai pads, knobs and sliders?

Get your wallet out, cop a few MPD's and get cracking....

maybe some day I will haha... actually this reminds me of that guy who made the motu bpm controller.. that was pretty neat.

whatever happen to that project Did he ever finish it?? Was there demo of it in action ?

It looked like he finished the BPM controller in late summer 2010, but the dude straight vanished. He removed all You Tube videos of it, and his website is a logo with a server down message.

well the last thing I remember seeing is the controller, and the computer screen... he showed how he got the buttons to correspond...

I really liked the idea of the project, my only complaint was that the knobs seemed like random sizes and not aligned properly with the casing almost random like. The other thing that would have been worth it while he was at it was... if he could have gotten one of those tiny VGA LCD screens (like 5 or 6 inches) he may have been able to strip down a pc and fit it in the controller... but that would have been some mark 2 shit.
