Alpha faders and rotart pots are cheap, but they may give over time (used a line as a replacement on an older Vestax mixer once, many moons ago). . .lasted bout a year =(
yeah its a project budget controller

Robin Raydon posted this on the sticky at the top, just in case you missed it. It might just do the trick for you.

If I'm not able to help, someone else on here will I'm sure
Mil0 these run like 2.50$ american used ill see if i can find a couple and send them to you and oskars

yeah i bet it will be but i have an uncle who said he would help me when he visits for christmas. with the soldering.

(thank god for relitives who have degrees in reverse engineering and electrical engineering lol)

also on the keyboard theres a shift key so u can shift the function. each key board button has an alternate function.


So for connecting faders. where would i connect them to?

17.11.2010		ii used this joypad thing. its for a joystick works great with drums from RB and guitar hero controller
Graham Frazier
15.11.2010		Then you loose all analogue functions.
Clay Lorow
15.11.2010		Don't know about midi, but xpadder does the job just fine.
It maps joypad as keyboard buttons, so in traktor just use keyboard mapping instead of midi...
Arcelia Siebeneck
15.11.2010		don't worry - I'm writing something in Autohotkey instead... will post something up when it's done.
