ranger930 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 hi,my first design idea for a traktor controller:i'm not shure , i hope, i can use all these funktions with traktor and 2 cores of Midi64E,the 2 big wheels will be made out of aluminium, the 2 small wheels ( for tempo control ) too,the small black push buttons are from conrad (germany) ( Anreihtaster), faders. pots and encoder are from alps,in the middle( top) you can see a jog dial from a Denon Double CD Player, ( cheap from Ebay),please tell me you opinions, ideas are very welcome,ranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 PLS PLS PLS!!! MAKE IT SMALLER and post it again! ;DReally do, this way it´s easier to get an overview! Like that you can not really see what´s up and where possible probs are lying & lurking.Greetz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogic Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I would add 4th pot for EQ to support Xone simulation (Bass/Mid1/Mid2/High) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinate Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 the small black push buttons are from conrad (germany) ( Anreihtaster), Do you have a link for this? Searching Conrad is a pain and doesn't come up with anything for Anreihtaster.cheers.Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therezin Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Cool design, though personally I think the area around the LCD looks a little empty with the screen stuck there almost like an afterthought. Very cool layout though, and I love the big "turntables" so you can scratch. You gonna coat the aluminium with something so they're not too slippy?

ranger930 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 hi,new update of the design,i'm now using black push buttons from ELV ( germany ),layout pictures:ranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therezin Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 That's looking good, looks more professional now you're not using brightly coloured buttons and the LCDs look better placed to my eye. Can't wait to see some build photos ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 First: Thnx for resizing! ;DReally looks good! And like some kinda work, too! ;)Anyhow: I really would put the LCDs a little higher. Reason: When you work with your thing, you "should always" see them. If you have your hand over the scratch wheels or somewhere else you won´t be able to read the LCDs. Just as a small hint.And: When u use those layouts, did you think about bringing in the DINs/DOUTs and so on partly or all directly on the PCB? I did so and it wasn´t as much work as I first thought (you can copy&paste layouts in Eagle pretty easy - it´s stated in the tutorial somewhere). This way you´re saving a lot of cables and space -> your case becomes more compact and your stuff more stable (meaning both failures: The soldering itself and the breaking/bending/whatever of cables).Nice one! Looking forward! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger930 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 hi ,@pay_c:i know the positions of the lcds are not so good, but i thing it's not necessary to have lcds for traktor, because traktor ist not able to send midi out events,now i decided to use only one lcd to read programing messages from mios, not integrated in the front panel,the push buttons are soldered directly on the pcbs,and this is a little board to check the middle posstion of the crossfader,i will use a small cheap microcontroler ( only 4 euro ), the led shows the middlepostiongreetz ranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild_Weasel Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi!Just one hint. Check out traktor 3 before cutting your frontpanel.You will definitively want to include controls for the filter section.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drin Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 One more hint - you know there's a bug in Traktor regarding scratching, right? Unless you're using the MIDI timecode discs in Final Scratch it doesn't really scratch very well. There's a lot of skipping and popping.The bug has been present since Traktor 2.0 and while NI has been informed about it multiple times there's been no fix from them yet.-drin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dengel Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Mirroring Drin's scratch comments...One other thing - I think that those tempo reset buttons are setting you up for some massive ohshit moments to happen when you accidentally reset one and the train comes on. Might want to reposition - or, if MIOS can do this, require that they be pressed for a time, or be pressed 3 times in a row or something.

ranger930 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi,now i'm back with a lot of idea's and a god feeling,because of 2 weeks maledives@dengelyou can disable the tempo funktion with the temp-off-on switch,ranger930thingking about pot problem too !

ranger930 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi,i am back with two pictures:[pre][/pre]Frontpanel is expanded pvc, holes are made with a cuter knife,very good material to make a prototype !and cheap,greetz ranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tos Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Nice, but....-where will you fit scratch plates? There is like 6cm of free space.-why T2 only setup?-why 1:1 copy of T2-why............Nice encoder button @ the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger930 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi,not 6cm , 10cm, i thing it's enough,why only layout for t2 ?because T2.6.2 is more stable than T3 ( native instruments forum ! )why 1: 1 copy of T2 ?why not, i have big fingers and i thing my layout looks like a real mixer,this is my first prototype, everything can happen in the future,encoder is from a double cd player remote unit, sometimes very cheap at ebay, it's an alps encoderbest regards ranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger930 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi,new layout with some led's,tip: use low current led's to reduce the current at all ( smaller psu )best regardsranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTE Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 very nice layout :)but why u dont make more place between the pots ??? cause when I´m mixing and turn for example the middle and high pot on 1 section at same time, i dont want to touch both fingers together......need more place for berzerking the mix ;)RegardsMTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger930 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 hi,@mtethrust meit's enough space between the pots,it looks only on the pictures to small,best regardsranger930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
