Do I need to know everything about Electronics to build a Midibox ?

Depends on what you want to do . First, if you are not familiar with Electronics, a good Start should be reading about Electronics Basics. Then ask yourself what you want to do :

  • I want to build a custom-sized MIDI Controller ! : You're at the right place.Try to get familiar with modules as well as it will be your bricks of your future project. Some Electronics knowledge will be required.
  • I want Build a complete All In One project like this MB-6582 ! : Maybe not the best start for beginners . Try to get started with even a core module and some DIN / DOUT extensions is a better point. But building a Sammich / MB-6582 kit is mostly something about soldering, you can avoid the understanding-the-electronics things.
  • I want to build a Funny DIY Synth ! : You are also at the right place. Some Synthesis boards have been designed to be driven by a Core board,wich is the heart and brain of each midibox Project.Some Electronics knowledge will be required.
  • I want to design something New ! : Be sure to have all pre requisites necessary. Designing a MidiBox is not a quick and easy thing. Be sure to get in touch with community that you could be explained few things. This will be the point where you will need most Electronics knowledge. Don't be afraid, All kind of knowledge take some time to be well learned. Just don't give up =)
