HOW TO – Building a custom Monome controller, with STS9’s David Phipps

Peter writes –

Part of the advantage of open hardware is that you can modify products to be whatever you want. David Phipps of the “electronica jam band” Sound Tribe Sector 9 wanted his own Monome controller for manipulating live music mixes with Ableton Live, but he also wanted twice the number of buttons as on the stock model.

Result: custom-produced controller, based on the open specs and brain of the open project.

This was a first-time DIY project, so along the way he found lots of tips on where to get parts and how to get cheap custom fabrication of elements like the faceplate.
