Built to last: Kontrol s4
Built to last: Kontrol s4 Posted on: 21.10.2011 by Lang Abriel Just figured that I would start this thread now for input on an idea that I will be working towards over the next few months.Basically, I am going to take my existing s4 and make a 2-3 piece metal body to replace the existing s4's shell. I may also attach a midifighter depending on the size inside of the s4, the midifighter setup would be 8 buttons along the left and right sides of the s4. I would like to add more buttons but I am no software engineer, so using an existing brain is the best that I could do. The only problems that I see is creating the raised rings around the jog wheels. everything else seems pretty trivial and I have access to all gear that I should need. ideas? Oh, depending on if I get a micrometer, I should be able to have a model up this weekend. | |

| Lang Abriel 28.10.2011 | I will have a CAD model going after Halloween, they are all glued in, atleast the front and back panel...they plan is to get a good model and possibly prototype going and then get a lil bit of support from a company, or someone who has spilt a drink on their s4, then after I can fit all the parts properly I will go about tearing my apart. Got a sweet sock monkey foam head I am sculpting right now for halloween, I'll make sure to post on here when im done with it. |
| Keva Sheward 27.10.2011 | Rukks, I thought about doing the same thing thing a while back. Have you figured out how to remove all of the circuit boards? It looks like the three main large boards are glued in or something. Thanks, Chase |
| Era Roka 26.10.2011 | Subbed i believe if you would sell steel S4 boddy's you would sel a lot of them! |
| Carmelia Biven 26.10.2011 | Subbed, Looking forward to this... |
| Judi Sissel 24.10.2011 | Subbed... Good luck!!! |
| Lang Abriel 23.10.2011 | Still no micrometer...getting a little more nervous about ripping it apart after seeing another thread on the community s but hopefully if I get a good design I can get more confident. |
| Romelia Stankard 23.10.2011 | Cool I can't wait to see the end result I've been waiting for someone to try this. |
| Elaina Sellitti 23.10.2011 | Ive been waiting for ages for somebody to try something like this |
