[MIDIbox of the Week (Traktor Controller by Richard)]

It isn't a rotary encoder.  I found your problem when testing the knob out.  So I assigned it to deck seek position instead, which I find is probably a better substitute. The pitch bend buttons can act as the wind function as well.

Hi Richard!

Cool Midibox!!!

My question is how does the "wind" function works. Does is utilise a rotary encoder? If so does the deck spin forward and backward as you twiddle the knob ---- or: (which is what i found out) fasten up the deck if given a value above 64 and reverse the deck if given a value below 64???

I'm asking because I have some problems hooking up my rotary encoder --> see: http://69.56.171.55/~midibox/forum/index.php?topic=3852.0

These stick on feet may do the job?

[Idea, but don't know how to do it]

As Duggle said a DB9 would be a good connector to use.

Rather than share switches, though these could be wired straight to a spare DIN.
