Thanks, i have just looked through those. I am looking at getting Cross fader Faders Will these work? I was also wondering whether i need to buy a single or dual unit resistor, what lever type is reccommended and resistance taper? Thanks

Hey, iv got a bit further with this in the last 6 months and i have got to the point of buying my faders. Can anyone reccommend some volume faders and a cross fader that will work with this project? Iv bin working on the assumption that any linear fader will work for volume, but is this the same for the cross fader? thanks

Can anyone give me any help with the questions i asked in my last post? Thanks again

Would i need to populate these boards with all the other components even though i am only using 1/2 chips? What main IC chip would be recommended as i've seen 3 different ones? Is it possible to implement non native MIDI-out support? Can i control the LEDS from within the MIDIBOX? (So that i could make the LEDS be constantly on to illuminate my buttons if i coudn't interface them with virtual DJ) Is the best MIDI-USB interface the USB GM5 module? The picture has MIDI and USB ports on, does this board therefore output both USB and MIDI? Thanks again for all your help

Thats great, does this mean i would need 2X 74HC595 2X 74HC165 Are these the black chips?

what are shift register chips? thanks

Thanks, i think il go for pots then so i can use the MIDIBOX 64.... no jogwheel then, best keep the first one simple eh. So to make 7 pots 3 sliders 16 buttons 8 leds 1 screen i would need all the modules above, is that right?? Thanks

hmm, they look like quite a lot of extra work. Thanks anyway. Can anyone answer any other of my questions. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, Im looking through those projects now. Virtual DJ has the option to map from keyboard, midi and hid. A couple more questions.... Can you get Pots/Encs with momentary switches built in. i.e. to select an effect and then turn it on/off? How easy are LED rings to build and program and does each indiviual LED require a DOUT or just each ring. i dont need these, but they look cool ;) Can the MIDIBOX be powered by USB or battery's for portability? Thanks

Hello everyone, I have been reading through the wiki and forums trying to learn as much about MIDIBOX as I can, but i may have missed something so please forgive me. What i would like to do is control Virtual DJ through a USB interface. [url=http://img411.imageshack.us/i/61646066.jpg/] On the picture above I have highlighted what I want to control in red and green. This means i need 7 pots 3 sliders (Pots??) 16 buttons 8 LEDs Do pots or encoders work best in these sorts of applications?? Would the sliders have to be set to the centre before I plugged it in so that they were calibrated with the slider on screen? Do i need any extra buttons to control the interface? I also read that it is recommended to have an LCD, can this be used to display output from the PC, or is it just for programming? To do this I believe i need: 1X MIDIBOX64 core (MIDIBOX64E if Enc's were used) 1X AIN module 1X DIN module 1X DOUT module 1X LCD 1X USB GM5 Module Is this correct? The blue highlighted items in the picture are controls i want to include but these looked harder and more complicated to implement. They are: 2X motor controlled pitch sliders (they have to be motor controlled as the pitch can change when syncing) 2X jog wheels (used to scroll though the track, not scratch. How much harder does adding these controls make the project? Is there anything I missed? Any other controls you think i should have? If this is in the wrong section, mods please move. Any answers will be much appreciated. Thanks Joe
