MeloFade v1
July 2022 Arduino MIDI CC Controller Build
Melo for Melody || Fade for Fader || and it’s my first build…
Prior to the idea, I had been thinking for a while that the MIDI CC controllers I’ve been using have had either faders that were too short or drivers that were instable/crash (*ahem* MonogramCC). I decided to make my own.
This is a short (and low effort) documentation of the fun summer project for me.
