Custom Large Format MPC

Built in May by myself and my padre – Don Bwack – for the group Family Force 5 – a seven foot square MPC style midi controller. Weighs in at 750 lbs including intel mac, 22″ screen, 10 knobs, 8 momentary switches, 2 mod/pitch wheels, and 16 led backlit silicon pads.

This is in my garage the night we finished it. Sorry, the frame rate only catches about half of the led hits. This gives a good idea how the pitch wheels work with Ableton…

Here it is with the band Family Force 5 on the Warped Tour this summer…
