<shrugs> it'd be nice for traktor but it's not critical. If i wanted 14-bit sampling for my own app (either via Dual CC's or NPRNs) how would i go about getting the input end working?

Well - for my VJ'ing app I can control how it inputs the data - so I was thinking of the original midi spec of MSB, LSB (though i'm guessing that's not going to be any faster than using NPRN?) What sort of ADCs would you guys reccomend for 14-bit sampling? As for Traktor - NI haven't responded to our queries about 14-bit midi support (or midi feedback support)....

Hi - I'm relatively new to this MIDI stuff but I had a few questions about 10/14/whatever-bit precision midi controls 1) I'm wanting to build a midi controller for a VJ'ing application and I desire extra precision controllers because if I want to control an object's position on screen via midi - 800/127 = 6 pixels per midi unit, which isn't precise enough. with 14-bit midi i'd be able to go up to a resolution of 16384 before having a problem. (yes. a possible solution is to use rotary encoders.) 2) For DJ'ing apps, putting your pitch slider on a 7-bit midi slider is... non optimal. Again a 14-bit slider would be useful. Admittedly Traktor (my DJ program of choice) doesn't yet support this and i'm guessing the response will be "use a rotary encoder". I realize that using rotary encoders solves a lot of these problems but they are no where near as "nice" to use as sliders/knobs etc. I'm also aware there are jitter / etc problems when you try to use higher precision controllers but I was wanting to get some feedback/pick people's brains on their thoughts about 10/14/21/28 bit precision controllers (the last two being VERY non standard, but doable if you are writing the software on the other end. Though anything beyond 14 bit is overkill, and getting pots/sliders with that kind of precision would be quite difficult)

Wow. that looks really *really* nice. And now for the request! <grins> I've got an Allan and Heath mixer that i use with traktor, so i'm not particularly interested in the mixer section. I was wondering if it would be possible to reuse your filter, loop and (possibly) transport control sections and make a 4-deck-no-mixer version of your controller?
