Xone 3d clone without the midi/audio interface.

[dejaneiro]

Hi, everyone.

First of all, this is my first post.

I've being making music for some years now, but

never had any peripherals helping along. It's

mouse music all the way...

Not bad, but I convinced my folks to lend me some

money so that I could make my own controller,

which, I think, has become a necessity (my live

set is ready now).

I use Ableton Live for composing, so my first

idea was to go for a Midibox LC project, but I've

being djing also (more often then "liveing"), so

a "traktor controller" Midibox would make my life

easy - I'm not considering burning 60GB worth of

mp3 on CDs!

Ok, so the dream project would be something like

Xone:3d (www.xone.com). 3000 dollars, ouch!

It has a built-in souncard, which I don't need (I

own an Ozone controller), so what I'm looking for

is:

8 faders

soloing/muting for each

cue selector for each

assingnable knobs for eq and sends

pair of jogs

pair of pitch faders

x-fader

play/stop

scene selection buttons

tempo fader

volume fader

pan knobd for each channel

In attachment, a draft will make it easier to understand.

OBS 1: I guess the transport part should have

better cueing capabilities, so more buttons

should go below each jog; but you got the idea!

OBS 2: Is it too ambitious to wish for kill buttons

next to the four knobs above the jogs?

Is it viable?

Bare in mind, I know nothing of electronics and

have just started researching the midibox thing.

I am still a bit scared about the bunch of

information, but since I'm professionaly

motivated (and I think this would cost less than

3000 bucks), my hopes are high.

Last but not least, the obligatory stupid

question:

Inside the midibox wiki (wherever!), what's the

most newbie-oriented link or tutorial or

document?? I found lots of stuff on assembling

the different modules, but how exactly they work,

and how many of each I'll need, I just can't

tell.

Well, thanx in advance, and sorry for the long

boring post.
