I love dawless gear — the hands-on creativity, the immediacy, the focus on performance.
But I’ve always felt limited by what it could do… and how much it all costs.
So I decided to build my own solution.
This is the GrooveDock — a custom 3D-printed MPC (Music Production Companion, ba dum tssssss...) powered by a €100 Mini PC, a 10-inch touchscreen, and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, all housed in a case I designed with Planeta 3D, a Portuguese 3D printing company (https://www.planeta3d.pt/).
It’s a mix of DIY engineering, music tech design, and creative workflow — a project born from curiosity and necessity.
If you enjoy portable setups, modular gear, or building your own tools for music creation, this one’s for you.
In this video I’ll show:
- The newest updates to the design.
- A full assembly tour and gear talk.
- Some ideas for the future.
If you have ideas or questions about the GrooveDock, let me know below — your feedback might shape version 2!
