Noob wants to build a USB Traktor DJ-controller

[MissingNo]

Hey guys,

since my crappy DJ-controller has a broken fader and some features I don't really need I decided to build my own custom made dream controller. In the beginning I thought it can't be that hard because you can map all inputs in Traktor itself so I imagined to just plug some knobs, faders and buttons to a mainboard and I'm basically ready to go but looking a little bit more into it I realized it's actually not that easy... This forum and website is a little messy and I didn't find a good step-by-step tutorial yet so could someone maybe help me out by sending me a link?

Also if I want to plug a Cinch cable into the controller I need to use an additional soundcard, is that right?

no sound card on midibox.

but Midi via USB to Control Tractor.

what you probally need for FADERS (if you need more then 8 Pots and Faders):

or

and as Brain and Midinterface to Traktor:

The Firmware you might use is:

http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_ng.html

it is not out of the box "Traktor" its out of the Box "Midicontroller" - so you have to configure it.

 

and not necessery, but usefull a Dislplay:

you also will need Mios Studio to upload new Code or to Configure your Midicontroller (if you dont use LCD thats the way to configure):

but first after you finished your CORE-STM32F4, you have to upload the bootloader: http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.html
