DJTT "Chroma Caps
Posted on: 22.11.2011 by Latoria Kavulich
A lot of questions about what gear Chromacaps will or will not fit on since being released, so if yours fit on gear not listed here ..



.. then please speak up and post a pic of them on your gear so the list can be updated. Likewise, if you want to know if they will fit on your gear then ask away in this thread.

Please search through the thread to see if your question has already been answered, to avoid double up queries, thanks.

I received a demo package from DJTT with a couple knobs and tested them on the following device's
Livid CNTRL:R
Korg Zero 4
Arturia Mini Lab

The CNTRL:R does have already some good knobs with a rubber feel to it. Which are extremely hard to get off, especially the encoder caps. The shafts of the knobs on the controller are round so the Chroma Caps need to be modified to fit.
IMG_0283.jpg
The encoder Chroma Cap does fit nicely on the encoder shafts of the CNTRL:R but the cap is a bid bigger than the standart cap from Livid, so I won't recommend replacing them since than there is not enough space for you fingers the fit around the knob.

IMG_0284.jpg
The normal Chroma Cap does also fit on the encoder shaft but sits very close to the faceplate but the encoder click does work.
IMG_0290.jpg
The Fader cap doesn't fit properly on the CNTRL:R and it touches the faceplate.
IMG_0287.jpg
IMG_0288.jpg

The Arturia has 16 Encoders and the encoder Chroma Cap does touch the face plate if you push it al the way down. You can lift it a little a will sit nicely.

Lastly the Korg Zero 4. Faders Caps does fit nicely, the normals caps does not really the EQ's since the touch the faceplate and there is not much space for your fingers left en you won't be able to see the led lichting anymore. The fat caps does fit nicely on the selector shafts but like the EQ's you won't see the led lighting very well.

I do find some problems with uploading pix of 2,3 MB or bigger. Gonna try uploading them later.

Chroma caps fit nicely on my DJM900 - currently using them on Filters, Headphone volume+mix, FX Level/Depth.

I'll test them on EQ now. Edit: They fit fine on the EQ section too.

The guys at DJTT sent me some CC's to test out on the DJM850.

I regret to report that they do not fit at all. The fatty just about fit's on the FX para pot, but the fatty is a little TOO fat to use on that knob without your fingers bumping into the adjacent knob.

The faders are useless because of Pio's fader lock system. Standard knobs sit too high up on the eq pots.

Gutted. I wanted to pimp my 850.

I've liked the idea of chroma caps since they first came out so now I've got a settled set up and I'm not changing anything (again ever!) I've taken the plunge and just bought this little lot;

3 x DJTT Encoder Knob (Blue)
1 x DJTT Fatty Knob (Red)
1 x DJTT Fader (Blue)
2 x DJTT Super Knob (Grey)
13 x DJTT Super Knob (Red)
1 x DJTT Fatty Knob (Green)
13 x DJTT Super Knob (Green)
2 x DJTT Encoder Knob (Red)
3 x DJTT Fader (Red)
2 x DJTT Encoder Knob (Green)
3 x DJTT Fader (Green)
2 x DJTT Super Knob (Blue)
2 x DJTT Fatty Knob (Blue)


48! Thats for a Z2, X1 Mk2 and an F1 can't believe how much I've spent on caps. Simple colour scheme; red for port, green for starboard and blue for common controls.

Looking forward to the postman coming

Fader caps won't even fit on the K2 if you tried.

Yeah, that is kind of odd. 12inchskinz are normally spot on. Not enough to bother me, personally, but I believe if was ordering them again, I'd probably customise and do away with all those red rings anyway. They aren't really needed.

mc6000 knob types.jpg

Image above shows chroma cap fits for the MC6000. Knobs with a BLUE Circle on them are normal Chroma Caps. Knobs with a RED Circle on them are 90 Degree Knobs.

Fader caps fit fine on line faders/crossfader/Pitch fader. Encoder caps fit on the central browse encoder (And the glow in the dark encoder glows blue with the light from underneath!!)

I haven't tested the mic eq/echo/crossfader curve knobs.

All caps fit flush to the top plate. Fader caps have a slight up/down wobble on them, but nothing major.

I've just had a load of 90 degree knobs arriver for my Xone:K2, and thought I'd try them on my MC6000, as the knobs from the K2 fitted on the MC6000.

I can report that the 90 degree knobs fit on SOME of the stems on the MC6000.

They fit fine on the EQ knobs, but not on the Gain knobs. Left, right and centered on EQ knobs below.

With Chroma caps on the EQ's, it will cut down a lot on the spacing between them, and as it's pretty cramped already might make it difficult for some people to use them.
2013-12-02 15.12.53-small.jpg

In the first 3 pics, both the gain and the HI EQ stems that don't have chroma caps on (CH2) are set at -infinity, and they aren't the same. A lot of the other knobs are odd as well. They fit on the Cue/Master pan, but not on the cue gain. Fit on the booth send, but not on the booth eq. (When I say don't fit, I mean the indicator line is in the wrong position). If I've got a bit of downtime at my next gig, I'll document which ones the 90 degree knobs fit in and which they dont. I'm guessing that normal chroma caps might fit on the Gain knob. Anyone know which way the 90 degree knobs are rotated from the normal ones??



Encoder caps also fit on the central encoder, but you would lose the glowing blue ring round it.

Wondering if the fader caps would fit a Rane TTM-56? I'm pretty sure those faders are close to the 57, but I'm not sure. Somehow I lost my crossfader cap, and have to order some replacements, was believeing of going with the Chroma caps.

Anyone have any insight?

Hey guys,

My friend just bought new Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 so we replaced stock plastic ones with some Chroma Caps! As u can see they look nice and can say fit perfectly.

Hi,
I plan to use the caps on my custom controller.
I couldn't find anywhere... what are the exact dimensions of the Chroma Caps?
I need the height and shaft slot depth.
Which pot does it typically fit (9mm? 16mm?)?

Thanks.

Bought the normal Chroma Caps and the fatties for my DDJ-SX

Normal sized fit perfectly, the fatties look like mushrooms and leave a considerable gap because they are too short. They look terrible to be honest, and DJTT should not advertise them as being a perfect fit....

Also, the tactile sensation you get does not beat the stock caps...

All in all I probably would have still bought everything, but I would have purchase the normal size for all of them. I hope DJTT reconsiders their advertising of these things for this particular controller.

Nobody got any idea's about this?? Reluctant to order any if they're not gonna fit!!!

Dj-Tech DIF-1S uses the 90 degree knob too? since the indicator of the normal chroma cap pointing the wrong direction too.

Just received the Chromas today! Excited

- DJ-Tech DIF-1S-
1. Faders fit nicely
2. Knob fits BUT the indicator will point the wrong direction

-Ecler Evo 4-
1.All knobs and caps fit BUT they are tight. I wouldn't force it in as not to damage the mixer.

Thanks DJTT for the wonderful Chroma caps!!

The only mod i can believe of is making the shaft of the potmeter shorter so the Fatty is more flush with the casing...but then you will have a different issue...as the Fattys will be sitting lower then the rest....
