Hi guys, Thanks for your responses. In all honesty, I don't want a full blown controller, just something small (similar to the Midi Fighter or to this). Just something to control a few variables in the software whilst still using my physical decks and mixer. I've had a look at a few options (Arduino, Teensy and the Livid Instruments MIDI CPU) but thought that this might be the way to go. I've already got an idea of how I want it to look and the size of the enclosure, I'm just a n00b when it comes to the electronics stuff :blink:. I'll have a look at those links you've suggested though.

Not that I can assist with this in any way, shape or form, but I'd be interested to see how this turns out. I personally use timecoded vinyl with M-Audio Torq (cost effective) but would consider making one of these to use with Traktor if you get a nice result of out of it...good luck!

Hi all, Having had a look through the site with it's various products on offer and seemingly all-knowing community, I've decided to pluck up the courage to ask for your assistance in my first project (of many hopefully)! I'm currently a bedroom DJ using a pair of Technics SL1210 Mk2's with a Numark mixer, M-Audio Torq (with Conectiv interface and timecoded vinyl) and Dell Inspiron laptop. Eventually I'd like to move on to more advanced equipment as I start to get into clubs but I'm probably a little way away from that. The one thing missing from my set up is a good old controller, which I want to use for the Torq software's effects and various looping capabilities. For this, I'd only be looking to use around 12 knobs on potentiometers and maybe 15 or 16 arcade-style buttons, as seen on the MIDIFighter. I've had a look at the various PCB's but find that a lot of the electronic lingo goes straight over my head. Would one (or many of you) be willing to assist me on this small project? I have a clear idea of where I want to go, have very basic soldering skills and am an intermediate PC-user, that is to say, I do not know how to program or code but could probably learn. Hope to hear from you guys soon! :frantics: Ashley
