smitch Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Hi,I am planning to build the new midibox plus...I want to replace 2 or 3 pots with faders (the up and down type).Can somone explain to me how motor faders work? I dont understand the touch sensitive stuff and why they are different to normal pots.Isnt a motor fader just a pot but vertically, instead of a knob?Thanks in advance.

LO Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 You probably are after just plain Faders.Motor faders are motorised faders as in when the fader on your screen increases/decreases in value the fader on your box follows like on some of the big name consolesApart from that they arent any different to normal faders. the touch track allows the fader to disengage when moved by hand.LO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitch Posted February 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks,Motor fader sound kewl, but i dont need 'em. Im trying to keep my box as simple as possible:)So if i use a 10K Slide pot on my MIDI box 16 in place of another pot, it should be fine.Will it wire up the same way as a normal pot? How do I determine what wire goes where?Thanks alotThis really helps:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LO Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Yeah they are pretty much the same to wire up, except they sometimes have 4 pins instead of 3, you can just leave one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitch Posted February 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Is there a way in which i can use a 50K Linear Slide fader (pot) instead of a 10k. Will it still work?The reason im asking is that I can only find 50k faders localy.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
