Custom Large Format MPC
Built in May by myself and my padre - Don Bwack - for the group Family Force 5 - a seven foot square MPC style midi controller. Weighs in at 750 lbs including intel mac, 22″ screen, 10 knobs, 8 momentary switches, 2 mod/pitch wheels, and 16 led backlit silicon pads.
This is in my garage the night we finished it. Sorry, the frame rate only catches about half of the led hits. This gives a good idea how the pitch wheels work with Ableton…
Here it is with the band Family Force 5 on the Warped Tour this summer…

Bush Construction Strikes Again! This looks pretty awesome, and extremely heavy. I’m sure there are some good sized castors on this thing - i would hope.

I was wondering if you’d abandoned ye old blog. Then I saw your controller on the front page of gizmodo! Nicely done.
