no. they are fine. maybe the answer is that i want something different to keep my setup interesting. my setup: - Allen&Heath xone : 4D connected to laptop with traktor - pair of technics 1200 mk2 turntables with real vinyl or timecodes for traktor - iPad with lemur / touchOSC or any other apps - tower pc running ableton live - novation launchpad. |

| Oren Stunkel 28.10.2013 | I see that DJTT has now added to the range of Chroma Caps... the 90degree and the encoder. I'm believeing that these may possibly fit? They show a shot of an A&H DB mixer on the Chroma Caps page. So would they fit the 4D? (assuming A&H post stems are the same? I have tried each of the different 4D caps on the other pot stems, and they fit any pot stem / encoder on the 4D |
| Gaynell Rydberg 20.05.2013 | If the caps are round then they won't turn the pots. The pots have flatted stems for this reason. I don't believe the knobs on the A&H are grooved IIRC. It's been a while. If you cut it, it's gonna loook pretty ghetto IMO. |
| Oren Stunkel 20.05.2013 | is it possible to drill out the caps so they are a round push fit? and if the pot stems on the 4D need shortening, then I could easily cut them. wrap ptfe tape around the stems if they are a bit loose. worth trying? |
| Evia Nitch 25.01.2013 | You could use the spare joystic connector to make a custom controller and put any knob you like on it. Here's mine: http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=64581 |

| Evia Nitch 22.01.2013 | Do you: -Dislike the appearance of the 4D? -Do you crave to express yourself through knob colours? -Do you regularly visit events where you may accidentally switch 4D's wit other owners? -or do you dislike the feel of the knobs? Each may be solvable in different ways. |
| Oren Stunkel 19.01.2013 | Shame they don't fit... The only way to change the caps is to use replacement ones for other Allen & Heath models. No third party ones available... Unless maybe those eagle plastic parts ones sold by mouser? Who is the manufacturer of the chroma caps? |
| Michell Wehrmeyer 19.01.2013 | I have a k2 and a xone22. Because of the way A&H does their knobs on those 2 units, the chroma caps do not line up (the white line on the knob is not accurate). The faders did fit on the 22 but sit a little bit high it looked like. Id imagine its similar for other products, at least knob-engineering wise. |
| Simona Schar 19.01.2013 | In the store, Chroma Caps do not seem to be compatible with Xone 4D... Perhaps somebody else gave it a try... Concerning the sliders, someone ordered slider's caps from the GS mixing board series for the 1D shaped part of the mixer and used spare filter knobs and fader from the A&H DB4. Everything is there : http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=38419 I suggest you to pm him. He might help you... |
