Hey there,I moved to teensy pretty early on and they are ridiculous. So much faster.
Axe edit does it right? Its the same principle I guess. I'm testing some tomorrow and find out.That would be awesome, but although the teensy can do midi over usb, I don’t believe the axefx 3 can. (I’ve heard that the 2 could?)

Isn’t it just AxeEdit proprietary protocol that works over USB? I was under the impression that it didn’t listen for plain MIDI. The proprietary protocol is MIDI sysex, but not public.Axefx3 and fm9 do midi over usb
It is but sysex is midiIsn’t it just AxeEdit proprietary protocol that works over USB? I was under the impression that it didn’t listen for plain MIDI. The proprietary protocol is MIDI sysex, but not public.
Sysex (short for system exclusive) is the part of the midi spec where manufacturers can put their non-standard proprietary-protocol stuff. It's part of the midi standard, but the specific meaning of each maker's data isn't defined in the spec itself, it's up to each manufacturer to describe it publicly, or not. Many makers choose to make it public, so other software and hardware makers can work with it too, but not all, as in Fractal's case.Isn’t it just AxeEdit proprietary protocol that works over USB?

Hey thereVery nice!. Question - I have all the bits for months and months to build this, but the thought of making rectangular holes in the steel enclosure has me baulking. I see you start with drilling them, but do you have any other advice or video you could share for making this metalwork less intimidating? I wish I had a shop with a hydraulic press and square dies accessible to me but... I don't <sigh>.
Many thanks!,
Ben.
Greenlee makes die sets you can crank with hands tools. I've used the ones for big circular holes, not rectangular, but I'm pretty sure they make them. That was long ago, so I'm not 100% positive they exist at all any more, but I bet they do, quality stuff.Very nice!.

Hey how's it going? Glad you're still having fun with this. My unit is still going strong.Hey there @prongs_386
How are you doing, its been a while. Developing on this project never gets boring, so recently I picked up the development for the teensy 4.1 microcontroller again. Big plans to make it fully functional using only RJ45 cat6 with phantom power from the AxeFXIII. Also will try to connect 2 expression-pedals to the fractal with a single RJ45 cat6 cable (havn't tested that yet, but should work).
For the new howsing I bought a Hammond enclosure 1456RL1BKBK, that is just a perfect fit.
Stay tuned, will update fttt with the progressions.

At the suggestions here, I got a couple of Teensy 4.1 boards and was going to do it with one of those. But then I thought it might lend the project to other uses down the road if I use something more powerful like a single board computer (Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi). Then I can put a big touch screen on it and such. But this is the real problem - I end up overthinking and really I should just do it with Arduino since the library was already written for that environment...Hey there
Its not impossible brother. The 6mm holes are there for a jigsaw blade to enter.
When you clamp the project properly, you can very easily jig out the square hole. Its a no brainer if you have done one. Find a practice piece of metal and cut out a square, you will see it is easy. Just use a cuttingblade for metal and you are good to go.
What plans do you have for the build? What microcontroller and screens/switch layout ?
Cheers

Hey there @prongs_386Hey how's it going? Glad you're still having fun with this. My unit is still going strong.
Will be interested to see how clean you get the cutting doing it with the jigsaw. Mine was done with drilling the corners (to avoid a weak corner) and then a rotary tool. But mine did end up pretty rough. I thought about 3d printing some bezels to hide the shoddy work but haven't got around to it. I kind of like the rustic look
