[Alternative of Alps Rk117 pots]

/PUSH

I am also looking for potentiometers with build in momentary pushbutton.

Does anybody have an idea where i can get something like that in germany?

Nasrudin

This company is in the USA but its pretty cheap for international shipping and your saving alot on the components too.

I think this one is as close as you can get to a push action and turning knob

check out mouser.com they have lots of potentiometer some are very cheap

i just ordered from them today and only paid .80 per potentiometer =)

[Can I use this trackballer]

[The protodeck]

I posted a lot of information about the protodeck : http://www.julienbayle.net/diy/protodeck/

I didn't finish it yet... even if it already works very fine, I have to clean up things inside its guts like messy cable path, replacement of several connector by soldering (for power supplying, for example) etc etc.

I have to make the whole thing more reliable (at least in my head  :o )

Now, a big work to do: the interface between the protodeck and Ableton Live.

As I'm a max for live beta tester, I can begin to work on it ... right now  :P

love the information you put on your site very detailed. The panel is nice too. i think i will get mine done from them too. Only thing I am worried about is launching the clips in ableton. I seen akai and novation have a red marker box to know what part of the clip matrix you're selecting. I see you had max for live beta, i wonder if you can make this red marker thing in max for live??
