Reply to Looking for a CDJ Style Midi Controller

Hey guys,

I've been believeing recently that it would be right up my alley if I could find a pair of really simple CDJ style midi controllers.

Basically this is all I need, but I'm not going to waste money on this brand.



These denon's look pretty amazing, but the price tag doesn't really make sense to me. I might as well pick up some used 400/800's.



I've also been looking into a DIY option as well. All I want is a jog wheel, a pitch slider, and maybe 4/5 arcade buttons along the bottom for play/cup and cue points. Doesn't really seem all that far fetched, it's really just the jog wheel that intimidates me.


Any input? This would be for a more portable rig, when I don't want to lug my TT's around. The reason for wanting to do this is that I personally can't stand the eq in most stand alone controllers.
