Well, I've finished making my dj controller using 4 gamepads with 16 buttons and 2 analog sticks each. I use loopMIDI as the virtual MIDI port to use the signals from GlovePie as MIDI signals for Traktor Pro 2.

I've tried all the scripts I could find on the net, but all of them only support one joystick at a time. So, I tried changing the variables, and few buttons of the 2nd and 4th gamepad/joystick, but not all work.

So, I switched to fergo Joystick MIDI and got all 4 joysticks to work, but it supports only 12 buttons and 2 analogs each, which means I'm losing 4 buttons when the analog is turned on (the direction pad). GlovePie on the other hand, supports all the buttons and analogs, but I don't know the script for multiple joysticks.

Someone, please help me! fbonito, EanGolden you're my inspiration for this project! But Please someone help me with the script in GlovePIE for multiple gamepads to be used at the same time with MIDI outputs.

for playing vsts in Ableton1540308_274445276042686_896438701_o.jpg gotta keep those live sets interesting. the whammy bar is mapped to control bass wobble (16/8/4/2) and the latency is short enough that i could get off stage with it and not worry.

just finished changing LEDs on VCI-100...it was painful
few errors as you can see in picture(desoldiering tool is a must but even then its hard to remove leds).
Its black vinyl but I will paint it black some day. Jogs are purple/white(when touched).
Leds(purple and wihite) are SUPER BRIGHT bought on ebay

Important...purple leds are sooooo heat-sensitive that I burn a lot of them.

Now just to save some cash for PURPLE or MAGENTA chroma caps, I cant decide which one

I was at first. I was going to use a glossy finish clear coat over the paint because I thought it would make the final coat slippery, but just before I sprayed it I realized that a glossy coat would actually be sticky. Instead, I sprayed the knobs with a matte finish clear coat, and it made them just the right feel. If the buttons begin to wear down, a touch up of the clear coat will prevent any paint from coming off.

This is my fully programmable controller i built for Motu's BPM software as they didnt build a controller for it. Best thing about it is that 5 mins in the built in editor and i can use it to control anything with its built in midi learn or using the internal editor. I use this thing to death.


and this is an MMC controller i built for controlling various studio gear and live setup using midi machine commands and other protocols.

So after playing for a while with my NI setup, I realized the controls needed to be a little more visible for me in low light conditions. My first idea was Chroma Caps (of course), but I didn't really want to shell out $75 bucks to get this look. So I did it the old fashioned way. Here's what I used:

Rustoleum Gloss Enamel Blue
Rustoleum Gloss Enamel Yellow
Krylon Matte Finish Clear Coat
A black Sharpie permanent marker
A White paint pen (purchased from Michael's craft store)
Two styrofoam blocks (Michael's)
Three 1/8"x 1/8" square balsa wood dowels cut into 2" lengths (Michael's)
A handful of toothpicks (for the faders)

In all, I spent about $30 and a total of about 3 hours of work and 24 hours of drying time to make this happen. (Sorry Ean, even now-If I had the cash-I would still buy some Chroma Caps for this)

That's awesome, but what I want to know is where you get the coloured sheathes for the jack plugs?

My TMAs do have the locking mechanism on them. All of the colab TMAs do (these being the Beatports). There is no way to lock the cables with aftermarket cables though.

A few things to note. There are TONS of headphones out there that use this same termination, a 3.5mm jack into the ear cup with NO LOCK. Most notably, The beats by Dre and all the V-MODA headphones among many many more. There really is no problem with the Jack coming out in a normal situation. I actually like a cord without a lock. It gives a "weak link" if the cord REALLY gets snagged on something. I would much rather have it pull right out of the cup then pull down my soundcard/ rip my ipod out of my pocket etc.

Glad you like it Mfuchs!

Here is another one I finished up last evening that is on my LP2s...

Under the cover, all neat.

Was bored today after about 3 hours of drumming with my son and was really liking the shade of blue that DJTT used on the USB cable. I realized I had some paracord in almost the exact same shade. So my mind started wondering...

I ended up making a new cable for my AIAIAIs and sheathed them. They sound great and IMO, Look great!







And because all he wanted to do when he got home from school was "play with dat thing..."







Mad Zach, Betta watch yo back!
