Why should you build your own MIDI controllers?
Here are a few reasons why...

Express yourself: Since you are here, I'm sure you love making music, or any type of art expression, right? So, have you ever wondered that you could make not only your music but, also, the tools you use to make your music? And making them, the way you want it, would allow you to express yourself even more? And isn’t it music, art, all about expression? So, do it yourself, express yourself.
Boost your workflow: If you use your computer to make music I'm sure you have your favorite DAWs, plugins, synths, etc. So, what if you had at the tip of your fingers dedicated controllers to each of your favorite plugins, in their same configuration, same layout? Stop wasting your time having to decide how to map your generic controller, stop wasting your time looking where that filter knob is: make your own controllers that look exactly like your favorite plugins. It will make your workflow a thousand times better!

Save money: Building a MIDI controller is extremely cheap! Just to illustrate: for under US$40.00 you can build a complete launchpad with 16 arcade buttons. This controller in the market would cost you around US$200.00! Instead of buying one, make five! And the way you want it.

It's just the tip of the iceberg: Learning a programming language and electronics is just the tip of the iceberg. With this knowledge, you can do so much more than MIDI controllers! You can easily learn other languages, like C++, Java, Python, etc, and you can start adventuring in an infinity of other projects. Go from MIDI controllers to robotics, from art installations to web applications. For sure, this is one of the most valuables skills you can have in the market today!
