MF Classic Mod Help
MF Classic Mod Help Posted on: 26.01.2012 by Cesar Bores Ok I did my best to read all the threads on this but I haven't found all the questions I have yet...First off... the new boards have a 10 pin header connection. I saw these being used by the MF Pros. I picked up a standard 10 pin PCB Mount connection but the pins seem a bit thicker the the holes. is there a certain type you guys use? Second... I found the knobs to uses... http://ie.mouser.com/ProductDetail/A...CYccfZWg%3d%3d but I'm still having trouble with faders. all the ones I have seen posted are 60mm and I'm trying to find 45mm faders. Plus I would like to find something with a more scratch mixer feel. I have a set of P&G faders from a old scratch mixer. I love these faders! But I'm guessing they are not 10k. I found these on Mouser... http://ie.mouser.com/ProductDetail/A...adbYhzcHWtA%3d But I'm worried that they will feel cheep. Can you recommend any good heavy duty 45mm faders? Thanks for the help. | |

| Adolf Hit 30.01.2012 | Ok so from the data sheet we can see they are dual channel faders - since we are using it for Midi not stereo audio we only need one channel. Connect the Pink Wire to +5V, the Purple wire to GND, and the Orange wire to one of the analog inputs. Let me know how you get on! |
| Cesar Bores 26.01.2012 | So the pin header fit... I was just being nervous and not pushing hard enough. It works nicely so you can switch from classic to pro model. Here is the spec sheet for the faders...

| Adolf Hit 26.01.2012 | Heya punkpc, The header you have there should be fine - as long as the pins line up with the holes just force it in. Faders I cant really help you with - we had to source ours direct from the manufacturer, you should be able to manage to get the Penny & Giles Faders working though, impedance (resistance) does not really matter. If you find a data sheet for them and post back here Ill be happy to help you decipher it. |
