Laptop music performances often lack an interface which is designed for the special needs of the artist. During the workshop the participants are provided with a ready designed printed circuit board. Knobs, Faders, Sensors, LEDs, Motors or Servos can be placed on a custom case housing the circuit board. Via USB cable the interface can be connected to a computer running all major operating systems. It will then be recognized as a standard USB-MIDI Interface hence no drivers are needed and every program which understands MIDI will work with the interface. All features are easy to configure by mouse clicks | Laptop music performances often lack an interface which is designed for the special needs of the artist.
