I'm building a MIDI controller that has knobs (rotary encoders) displayed on top of a full hd display. I looked everywhere for something similar and I'm pretty sure that it does not exist. Did my first gig with the first prototype. It's basically a mix between the Electra One, the MP Midi Controller and the Stream Deck.

I'm working on this for months now, and I had to learn how to use tools like Fusion 360 and Kicad for this, which is incredibly fun!

I'm looking for a name for this product, current propositions are "a screen with holes" and "écran total" but ideas are welcome :)

Such a fan of rotary encoders, building a hardware Sonos controller with them now
