Hi, I built a monodeck-style controller using a microcontroller and lots of buttons and knobs. It works quite well, had a lot of fun with it on friday at a hardcore techno party. I used two tracks to play loops, assigned two rows of the controller to each track, with EQ, volume, play/stop, supatrigga buttons, filter, hi/lo kill switches, and send effects. I used a few of the other knobs and buttons to browse the clips, control the delay, bitcrusher, blablabla on the sends. Definitely enjoyable, though I think you're better off with a BCR-thing, as it took quite some time to build (one week), and I spent about 60 EUR in material costs. However I think that if you add more "weirdo" features to the controller, you can have something quite unique that you'll never be able to buy.

Cool! Hardcore to program you own microcontroller...

that looks amazing, well done. You know know any sites with tutorials to make a controller?

great stuff. thank god for nerds!

and Meef.. for making your own controller ,ucapps/midibox should be all you need
