stryd_one Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Nobody's going to be scratching on a wheel that small anyway.If there's a separate CS PCB (mentioned above) then people way want to use different hardware., so having the core hardware and software designed with an optional hi-res encoder is still useful. There's not a lot to it really, just little things like which pins are used/kept free etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta_Frost Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Somewhere far in the future one of the coolest things you could do with these would make it a standalone controller. No computer. 8) I know I would appreciate it waaaay more because laptops are expensive and if it was straight no filtering through a computer. I know lots of work would be needed but just keep it in mind. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasteri Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Somewhere far in the future one of the coolest things you could do with these would make it a standalone controller. No computer.I'm working on something very similar to what you just described. It uses an x86 single board computer for now, but a dsPIC (or something) would be the eventual plan...

Theta_Frost Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sweet! Keep me posted! Will it have the full range of features the Traktorizer currently has? Great news! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ademir Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 whassup! It's first post here. Hi all! ;P First of all, i'm not a dj. i'm not even a musician, i just know a bit about electronics, nuts and bolts... but i love music and, what the hell, why not? I'm making one of those for me! :D One of the things that i first noticed is that is HUGE! I was thinking in a modular build of it, like the old/not so old dj setup: the jogwheels and mixer apart from each other. Making the connections between them would be a pain, but it's worth the shot. The other thing that came into my mind is... is it possible to keep all MTE design, but use the wheels from rasteri? (btw: you work rocks, man.) I mean, a big wheel with a hi-res encoder. At last, is it possible to use hacked-mouse encoders, instead of the great encoders you use? Where i live, the encoders are expensive as hell! MTE, rasteri and sasha, you did fuc**n great 'til now. Keep it up! Greets from brazil! -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta_Frost Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 To use rasteri's high res encoders they would have to program for that so its up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasteri Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Is there source code available for traktorizer? I'd be happy to hack hi-res encoders into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ademir Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey all, Here is my version of Traktorizer. It's still a draft, i really don't have a clue about where to begin, but that's what i'd like to build. Well, to the facts: 1) The buttons: The big ones (play and cue) have 30mm on diameter. the little round ones have 15mm. The squared ones have 15x20mm; the 'loop' button is 42mm wide. PROBLEM: I don't know how to make or even paint them :-[ I'd like they were made of rubber/silicone, but i can't think a good way to make the bottom part, where the leds and switches go. 2) The jog wheel: It's borrowed from rasteri's scratch wheel project: a 7" vinyl disc on a slightly (5mm on radius) bigger platter. the red part would be the slipmat. All that stuff would be connected to a hi-res encoder and a little circuit to make the disc itself a capacitive sensor, eliminating the conductive paint stuff (and thus allowing me to print that beautiful devil girl on the disc label :P) 3) The LCD is out of scale. I didn't think much about this right now, but it would be nice if i have a white-on-black LCD :) 4) The case is 300mm wide x 350mm high (about 12"x13"). The goal is make it out of aluminum, but wood will work as well. Let's see what will fit better in the budget (which is really, really low!) 5) The controls: In order to make a compact unit, I have supressed some of the controls of the original project. Some of those will appear in the mixer unit, some will not be implemented. 6) The set: I'm thinking about making a 3-piece set, with two identical turntables and one mixer. that would make all the set easier to carry and allow some freedom on positioning the units. I'm working on the mixer design. PROBLEM: how to connect all that. there's a LOT of connections to make. Maybe a DB-25 connector? Don't know yet. If it turns out to be a huge problem, i'll go to the shorter path and make it an all-in-one unit. That's it for now. Hope you like it and find all the 'design influences' (a little euphemism for copy! lol) -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like the look of this. I especially like the idea of using the vinyl as a capacitive touch sensor, I'm maybe not too keen on the look of a 7" covered in paint! Not used traktor yet so not sure what controls are needed so can't comment there. I'm wanting to build something similar to this in the future so please be sure to keep us updated on your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasteri Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Not had a chance to add hi-res encoders yet (I only have intermittent internet access), but I will soon. Promise.Loving the design ademir :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ademir Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey guys, Just by friday i'll be able to buy some parts, so all I've had is sketching... so, this is my vision on traktorizer's mixer. I kept just the main effects, so i got a more compact unit (this is about 25cm w x 35 h). the kill buttons have 10x10mm. AND, that gray square is exactly what you're thinking ;) suck it, xponent! :P Actually, i have this touchpad for a long time, it was left on a drawer for about 5 years or so. I didn't really decided on using it, but again, it's just a sketch. later, -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTE Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hiabout software , there is a traktor file as "interface" for hardware and software?sorry, do you mean an "traktorfile"-> .tks ??so, no theres no file available, you need to program Traktor by yourself.regardsMTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom heart Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 would there be a way of using timecoded vinyls for producing midi signals??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasteri Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 would there be a way of using timecoded vinyls for producing midi signals???I think Mspinky can do that. Otherwise, you could hook a turntable up to the ADC pins of a PIC and use that to look for zero crossings. Then convert that to midi with a small program.

scagnato Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi,I'm Attilio from Italy and this is my first post. Can anybody tell me how to set Scratch-Sensitivity and Pitchbend-Sensitivity in MIDI setup of Traktor scratch pro v1.1?ThanksAttilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
