selfservice Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi, my name is Stefano from Italy, I'm a dj and i'm now using Traktor dj studio, 2 Gemini xl500 turntables and a Behringer DJX700 mixer.the main trouble I'm experiencing when mixing a Traktor mp3 and a vinyl is the tempo and pitch syncing because the keyboard that don't offer too much sensitivity like turntables pitch fader.So I've decided to start building a Midibox64, Traktor dj studio consolle like.This is a preliminary design of the panel, I have some indecision about the bottom part of the consolle but i think probabily it's definitive:what do you think about this? who have some modifications to this design to improve funcionality before i start building the panel?thank you everybody for the fantastic projects (I'm planning to build a OPL3 synt) and for the support !!

Wisefire Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 nice.. you did this by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfservice Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 yes, I've draw he panel with a cad, printed in 1:1 scale on many sheets (like an A3 made of many A4 sheets), and glued on the panel.so i have made the holes and cutted the alluminium with a special aluminium cutting tool on my dremel, it's like cutting butter.but some adjustment with an abrasive tool ( i don't know the name in english, in italian is "lima" ) was needed. you can see some pushbutton square holes before and after the cure.that's all, it wasn't difficult, and the result is good. :DI've asked for laser cutting but it was about 100€ :o :oI'm thinking my english is very bad...
