Hi fellows,
I have this crazy idea to create a home-made Neko
Since these days much is possible with computerstuff, why not create a home made Neko synth?
Ingrediënts
Simple controller (starts from 100€ already)
Build in a computer: 250€ ? (or make room for inserting a laptop from the sides
A small touchscreen (starting 400€)
A decent USB audio card 50€
Midi interface?
USB Nano controllers:
Add 19' rack 1 or 2U on the sides of the machine to insert some hardware module?
Everything replacable from the bottom and with a light case around it (will need to check for materials here that are light and still easy to work with)
What do you think?
Would it be doable? What would your preferable hardware be?

How do you get this cute "TIMBALAND edition" inscription? This part of your task is definitely not doable at home.

Perfectly do able, long as you don't want to sell them.

Hehe, great ! as any idea, it is already out there.zoranko wrote:nice idea...
it already exists..
Nothing is ever new and as we think of it, others get the info also, I suppose it happens by Uwifi (universal wifi)
Indeed it's impossible to sell it because others own the rights on the hardware.

Not so much that but in order to sell them, you would need to obtain FCC/CE approval for interference with other devices. This can cost many tens of thousands of dollars. That's why these systems cost what they do.godly wrote:Hehe, great ! as any idea, it is already out there.zoranko wrote:nice idea...

korg nano pad, korg nano kontrol,

I was also thinking about built-in touchscreen, but it is OK how it is, in studio with 24'' monitor, on stage with 15''...

Seems that we need to start providing tutorials for these to go around !!!UltraJv wrote:Not so much that but in order to sell them, you would need to obtain FCC/CE approval for interference with other devices.

Where is your PC located? Internal?
And did you create an alu main frame?
What wood did you use for the case? Or is it metal?
16,5 kg is very ok !!!

It does come up frequently. usually someone suggests that a standalone box with x86 mobo inside emulating synth x,y or z should be cheap to do and that loads of money made lol. The reality is that you can easily do it for home use.godly wrote:Seems that we need to start providing tutorials for these to go around !!!UltraJv wrote:Not so much that but in order to sell them, you would need to obtain FCC/CE approval for interference with other devices.

I'm not sure you'd have to meet all those requirements. Think about all the boutique stomp boxes, preamps, compressors and other audio devices built by small manufacturers. I doubt they pay 50K per product.UltraJv wrote: It does come up frequently. usually someone suggests that a standalone box with x86 mobo inside emulating synth x,y or z should be cheap to do and that loads of money made lol.

Analogue audio wont cause RFI, its digital stuff that will do it.izonin wrote:I'm not sure you'd have to meet all those requirements.
