| A slideshow and video clips of making a custom Electribe ES-1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTkLghcB0R4 Great project with really minimal risk (given a steady hand and a quality temperature controlled soldering station). Techniques are applicable to any number of machines. | ||
| 09.09.2008 midi controllers combine | 24 | 17.09.2008 |
| hi there dudes, i'm using vci 100 which i've recently bought with traktor and i believe it lacks knobs for some operations which would be great to do on the fly. for example right now i can't find a free knob to assign the loop length to (1/4 beats, 1 beat, 4 beats, 16......). also i can't… | ||
| 28.05.2008 Numark NS7 | 18 | 11.09.2008 |
| I tried searching through the community s but I really didn't find much about the Numark NS7. I understand Numark's "street creditability" level isn't all that high, but I am extremely interested in the hardware! I really love everything about "controllerism", but I also love… | ||
| 07.09.2008 VCI-100 map of NoteOn to Light | 23 | 07.09.2008 |
| Here's a map of MIDI NoteOn messages to lights on the VCI-100 front panel. Mine is a VCI-100 SE so apologies if this is wrong for the 1.2 software. Naturally, the board will mash this table to death. Also, missing from this map are the LOAD-A, LOAD-B, UP and DOWN keys which, using my copy of… | ||

| 28.08.2008 Limit the range for knobs?? | 2 | 03.09.2008 |
| Hi. I'm still working on perfectionating my vci-100 and now i'm trying to get into some more technical problems. I'd like to limit the range on some knobs, so they can instantly select effects etc. I read the article from ean golden about this, which also gave me the idea. But how do you… | ||

| 01.09.2008 Web Cam Midi Theramin VST | 5 | 02.09.2008 |
| So I have been experimenting with a bunch of alternative midi controllers. This one is a webcam theramin that you load your vst into.

| Here's my review of DJTechTools JogGrips - those rubber grips you've seen in pictures on the site.
