From the project
8 Potentiometer Standalone MIDI Controller based on the Teensy 4.0.
A customizable, open-source MIDI controller with 8 potentiometers, each supporting Up to 10 assignable MIDI CCs per Potentiometer, built around the Teensy 4.0 for high-performance MIDI control.
The interface is organized into several screens accessible from the main display:
MAIN SCREEN → MENU → SETTINGS → various configuration screens
This is your default operating view. The screen displays eight circular indicators, one for each potentiometer, showing current MIDI values (0-127). Each circle fills proportionally to the value being sent.
