Please help - looking for controller...
Please help - looking for controller... Posted on: 26.09.2012 by Valencia Chevez hey everyone, I am new to the community
so forgive me if i am in the wrong section.I am looking for a very specific controller and cant seem to find one that fits my needs. I am using SSL and Video SL. basically i would like to find a controller that can control the 2 "video effects" on each channel in videoSL. The controls are 1. select effect 2. dry/wet knob and 3. engage. the ideal setup for this would be an endless rotary for selecting the effect, a regular rotary (like a filter knob) for the dry/wet and a regular button for engage. there are 2 effects per side, so thats 4 total. and then you can control the vider transition effect, so I would want one more setup.. that would be 5 of these setups (6 would make it uniform, so I am cool with that or more...) This is basically what a VFX-1 is, but i would need 2 of them daisy-chained together. i would love it to be the size of X1/F1,VFX1, or even midifighterPRO, etc... I have tried the X1 and there is too much going on there for me. I also tried the nanokontrol, which was perfect interms of size but no endless rotarys... can anyone brainstorm and help me find something like this?? I'd even pay for a custom one!!! (but I am not gonna pay livid almost$600 for thier modular setup!!!) sorry for the HORRIBLE sketch, but this is what I am believeing: SCAN0013.jpg thanks in advance to anyone who has any input!!!!!!!

you could have up and down scroll buttons, an on and off button, a knob or slider for wet dry, and a knob or slider for whatever else, for up to nine different channels. I believe there are a few other transport controls or something as well?

I believe the nanokontrol v2 has three buttons, one slider and one knob, nine times across the board. you could have up and down scroll buttons, an on and off button, a knob or slider for wet dry, and a knob or slider for whatever else, for up to nine different channels.

| Rolanda Clodfelder 28.09.2012 | Might also be worth checking out the Steinberg ... 2 of them for around $250 |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 28.09.2012 | Faderfox DX3 ? Not exactly the configuration you are looking for but 4 controls each side, buttons corresponding and a center encoder which might work perfectly for transition FX control. |
| Valencia Chevez 27.09.2012 | thanks to everyone for your help!! tI bought a zero, its wayyy to big for my setup. the nocturn is really flakey with its mapping and serato. many people on serato community s have tried and ditched that controller - but that is basiacally the perfect size and form factor for me.. that custom page you sent is really expensive. i could put together a livid builder for about $550 - but that is more than I am willing to spend. i dont mind dropping 250-3 on this.. not $600... anyone else?? thanks soooo much to those who replied!!! |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 27.09.2012 | Both of those options are great, but if you really want a custom controller click here. It will get pricey though http://www.zayik.com/ |
