Convert controller to hi-resolution MIDI?
Convert controller to hi-resolution MIDI? Posted on: 25.12.2010 by Cornell Binder Hi allWas just wondering if there are any mods that can be done to a MIDI controller to convert existing controls (127 signals) to hi-resolution MIDI? Any hardware that is readily available for this? I want to convert the pitch control pots on my BCD-3000 to hi-res so I can manually beatmatch. As for the jogwheels, while I don't need to convert them (I don't scratch), being able to do it will be sweet. Would be great if someone can give me some advice on this. Thanks a lot Sid | |

| Cornell Binder 26.12.2010 | Thanks... Good to know.. I figured if it was as simple soldering stuff onto a new PCB, I could do it.. But clearly it's more complicated than that :-) Cheers anyway.. Hope you had a good christmas.. And wish you a happy new year. |
| Diogo Dj Dragão 25.12.2010 | There is no way for a normal user to make the BCD3000 send 14bit messages. I was pulling your leg. It's kind of like asking "How do I make my car fly?". Technically it's possible, but it's highly likely that you don't have the requisite tools or knowledge. |

| Diogo Dj Dragão 25.12.2010 | Sure. Just reprogram the firmware to have the pitch faders send a "pitch wheel" message instead of the absolute CC message they currently send. Or you could use a 14bit NRPN instead, but I'm not sure if Traktor would accept NRPNs. Be sure to test that first. |
