More Information

This is a complete basic “starter” kit for those who wish to build their own MIDI controller using the Starr Labs D5 CPU card. This could be a drum pad brain, a MIDI guitar, unconventional keyboard, even a MIDI harp! You’ll need to add support components and sensors as desired to achieve your dream design. Included in this kit is everything you need to get a functional “brain” with display and menu system. You will need to connect the sensors, switches and potentiometers of your choice to get this working.

  • D5 CPU Card w/Display Programmer
  • MIDI Jacks (also acts as power input)
