Nu-Audio-Science Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 OK i have had to put a hold on my SIDs for a little while now (Nearly a damn year) but i want to get back into them but first i want to design a little controller.I want a small DJ mixer with 3 sliders and 6 rotarys and two switchs with the ability to add more switchs later if possible.I want to use the sliders from a Stanton mixer because they are rail slides and i need these to achieve the usability needed (Turntablism)They are designed to control VCAs so will this work ? , I thought these would work with the analogue inputs ?Do i have to have a screen or can i just build with a standard MIDI CC setup ?Am i looking at a standard MB64 or do i need to do something else ?A Mixer similar to the one i am using the case of and want to use the faders too Cheers Quote
pay_c Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 No idea... If you got the Stanton mixer check if the faders are 100% linear. If they are logarithmic (and most mixers do use logarithmic types) you can nearly forget it. For checking: Just attach an Ohmmeter and put the fader to the middle, if it reads about 5k (10 k total) it´s ok, if it reads something around 500 Ohm (10 k total) it´s a logarithmic type.I am actually using ALPS faders (ordered at www.albs.de) and they are damn good! Nice soft DJ mixer feeling! Perhaps you should consider buying the faders (from ALPS or P&G)..Greetz Quote
Nu-Audio-Science Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Posted October 9, 2005 No i need rail slides for turntablism, They aren't smooth they are completly loose, you can even blow em with your mouth from one side to the other :) Quote
Twin-X Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 No i need rail slides for turntablism, They aren't smooth they are completly loose, you can even blow em with your mouth from one side to the other :)this is what you can do with some albs sliders too. Some mixers have albs in their housing. Quote
Nu-Audio-Science Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Posted October 10, 2005 They dont seem to make a 45mm though, And i would always prefer rails, I may try and manufacture one myself or something ? Quote
Nu-Audio-Science Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Posted October 10, 2005 http://eclecticbreaks.com/proxfade/I think i'll use this, It is the best crossfader in the world anyway so i may aswell :) Quote
