All-Arcade Ableton Live Controller Print E-mail
Nick Greeley, Thursday, 27 March 2008

Ableton ControllerNooooo, that's NOT a frankenpanel gone horribly wrong.

That, my friends, is a DIY built from Arcade Parts to control a piece of software known as Ableton.  Ableton is described as "a complete music solution for Mac OS and Windows. Live covers the entire musical process, from inspiration to studio to stage."

The creator of this panel, The Prevolt had this to say: "This is what I'm using to control Ableton now. All arcade hardware, aluminum top panel by FPE, and a nice wood case courtesy of my man Michael Yates. It uses all key commands through a custom driver to handle playback, effects, editing, warping, UI, mouse clicks, scroll messages, and more, with a lot of tweaks (some strobe, some send double messages, etc)"

I wonder what else is out there that folks have used arcade parts to control?

Thanks to Graham Best for pointing it out to us.
