*Buildlog* One more midi controller... Posted on: 04.06.2011 by Caridad Fan Hi guys,So, i'm one more guy doing a midi controller. I already bought some buttons and other components which I'm waiting for arrive. I'm using a Teensy++ with pins and already coded part of what i want. I'm a house dj (let's say this way) and lounge and stuff but anyhow, i'm believeing on things to get onto the controller so I can control effectively traktor. Ideas? Anyhow, looking for cheap jog wheel, I just need the "cap" because i already have rotary encoders which I believe are enough for a dj who plays house and lounge and stuff, I don't need scratching, I just need to cue so... Also looking for two faders for the pitches... I'm from Europe, so... I can't buy stuff from digikeys or mouser (too expensive) I'll have to see in Europe or China. Does anyone know suppliers? I'll keep everybody posted... | |

| Caridad Fan 06.06.2011 | Maybe.... maybe it would be interesting to do a group buy. Do you have msn /skype / google talk? Yeah I believe that those buttons are enough. I'll use a vestax vmc-004 as an external mixer. The switch on the top of the tap is for the tap button by the way. I prefer to use the shift to use the C deck. C deck will go for vocals and dj tools so... and I won't need a D. Knobs value and on buttons are for effects but still... I don't know if i'll go with that. Any ideas? About the LED displays... The idea was to use them as time remaining counters but changing a display for what we're doing it's an interesting idea!! Now I need, two faders, knobs for the faders (more than 2 because I need them for the mixer also, but these I believe that ebay is really cheaper), those 2 big jogs, 3 more pots (its better to buy 5 on ebay) and the nav/seek knob. Still waiting for everything else to arrive :s I also bought 50 squared buttons. |
| Arcelia Siebeneck 06.06.2011 | I really like that design - it's got a minimal amount of controls but pretty much everything you need. Are the "value" knobs going to be multipurpose? will the LCD screens update with the "value" data? I'd be up for getting some of those caps btw - would it help if we tried to organise a group buy? |
| Caridad Fan 06.06.2011 | Found this: http://pt.farnell.com/jsp/search/pro...sp?sku=1520821 perfect for what I want but farnell only sells for a minimum of 30e which sucks because I just want 2 of those, 2 faders and 1 other knob. Anyhow... here is the design of the controller. What do you believe? |
| Caridad Fan 04.06.2011 | I'll see... When I tried to buy something there... the shipment was expensive. |
| Jonelle Pahulu 04.06.2011 | try alibaba.com and negotiating with a suplier for small amounts great stuff dirt cheap made in eastern asia and built of high quality most of the time |
| Caridad Fan 04.06.2011 | Kind of expensive that wheel... For that price... I prefer to use a CDJ one! |
| Arcelia Siebeneck 04.06.2011 | I'm looking for a decent platter 'cap' as well... let me know if you find anything decent. The best I can find is: http://eks.fi/shop.php?p=purchase&o=Spareparts check the jog wheel for the XP5 edit: you could then glue/attach a 'vinyl cdr' to the top: |
