MAKIO

MAKIO is a GLASSHALF project for building customizable MIDI controllers and pedalboard systems with widely available development boards.

It is a practical platform rather than a single finished device. Choose a starting board, connect the I/O and controls your setup needs, give it a physical form, and run firmware you can understand and continue to adapt.

HOW MAKIO IS COMPOSED

  1. BOARD

    The available development board that gives a build its display and processing foundation.

  2. I/O

    MIDI, USB and the connections needed for a particular setup.

  3. CONTROLS

    Switches, encoders, touch and other inputs arranged around the way you play.

  4. ENCLOSURE

    The physical structure that holds, protects and makes the build usable underfoot or by hand.

  5. FIRMWARE

    The software layer that turns connected parts into one deliberate instrument.

MAKIO GRID

A clearer view of what matters while you play.

MAKIO GRID is an interface direction for organizing the status and controls that matter to each MAKIO product and connected device. Its layout, displayed information, controls, and synchronization behavior may vary with the product, connected equipment, firmware version, and verified compatibility scope; public release details will be finalized after validation.

01

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

Bring forward the information that supports the current performance context, without treating one layout as universal.

02

CONTROL SHAPED TO THE PRODUCT

Interaction patterns are selected for the MAKIO hardware and connected equipment being validated.

03

STATE WITHIN A VERIFIED SCOPE

Display and synchronization behavior are documented only after they are confirmed for a specific product and firmware release.

DIRECT CONTROL

Your phone becomes another MAKIO screen.

Open MAKIO’s built-in local web controls in your phone’s browser to view the current status and operate supported controls. No separate app is required.

START A BUILD

  1. 01

    CHOOSE A REFERENCE PATH

    Begin with the larger CORE or compact MICRO reference build.

    COMPARE CORE / MICRO

  2. 02

    DEFINE YOUR I/O

    Decide what your own setup needs to connect and control before designing the enclosure.
