The german #1 photo-podcast Happy Shooting made by Boris Nienke and Chris Marquardt had a discussion about Midi controller for Lightroom.

One comment on the website, why not building it yourself and voila the project was born. The name Schwurbler is the german colloquial for a Conspiracy theorists.

This project contains everything from zero to hero and to create your very own customized Midi Controller for Lightroom Classic.

It is completely community driven, so everyone is allowed to contribute and it's not intended to earn any money with it. Just from the community for the community and from photographers for photographers. So we have decided to license the project as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

The project is intended, to be as open as possible. It consists of the Arduino code, Schematics, PCB-Designs, 3D-Case, configurations for Midi2LR, documentation of the code and guides for assembly and setup in multiple languages, as well as a supporting Wiki.

The MVP Version was (pre-)released in mid August 2020, with a 14 buttons and 9 potentiometers setup.

Multiple versions are in development, e.g. a version with a ESP32 based MCU to support midi over wifi and bluetooth as a battery powered device; or a rotary encoder version of the MVP Version. To support more different controller we try to get the hardware controlling functions more abstract with those versions.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Physical Editing Interface

Schwurbler is a custom mechanical controller designed to speed up photo editing workflows in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

  • MIDI CC Mapping: Features high-precision Rotary Encoders and potentiometers. The Arduino translates these physical turns into MIDI Control Change (CC) messages.
  • Software Bridge: Uses MIDI2LR, an open-source bridge that maps MIDI messages to Lightroom sliders like Exposure, Contrast, and White Balance.

UI & Ergonomics

  • Instant Response: Provides a tactile, "eyes-on-image" editing experience, allowing photographers to adjust multiple parameters simultaneously without using a mouse or looking at the computer screen.
