    Numark PT-01 modding thread

    in EQUIPMENT & AUDIO PRODUCTION

    Posted

     

    Hey man. I was just wondering what speaker you built into your turntable, how you did it and how it sounds. I'd like to get a decent speaker in mine, guessing sticking a speaker with its own battery would get the loudest results? A minirig wouldnt fit but something like that?

    Cheers

     

    it's an average 2" fullrange speaker i snatched of a portable mp3 player. i hot glued it and wired it in series with the OG speaker...

    Back in 2013 I did what you suggested - had a portable speaker with it's own amp in there but I went back to the OG amp because I had so many electric consumers in there that the pt01 got overloaded... there is so many cool shit you can do without needing any power... line faders, cue-option, ashtray...

    If the 01scratch is wired how I suspect it is, then that 4-pin connector doesn't provide power

    ...what's your guess?

     

    since this is a switch and it appears to not pop i was hoping to replace it with reed switches ;)

     

     

    ...a few pages before i said that the raiden beta had no stable mixing circuit means when you close the fader the aux in gets louder...

    finally got my hands on the final version and it's true - they didn't change that... wtf?! is everybody deaf? sure.. it's hard to make out with a beat playing but if you feed your aux with a long note,sine wave or pink noise while a turntable is connected you'll notice it real easily.

     

    i think they went for a compromise there. if you replace there 1k mixing resistors with 47k the mixing will be stable which leads to a very low output though...

     

    could anyone please test their JDD or Triggah to see how they behave ? also which one is the "loudest"? :)

    wiring of the relay is damn i easy - i could help with that. the one i posted is not suitable ootb though - you need a 9V switch relais...

    9 + __/ __REL _____PT01 MOTOR OUT +
    v - _____AIS _____MOTOR +



    the open format start/stop is NOT a momentary switch - the term arcade button is irritating - been there too...

    Replacement power adaptor for an 06

    It's either a 2mm or 2.5mm barrel connector. Just order a pack of each, they're really cheap.

     

    Also, as it's AC you don't have to worry about the polarity.

    thanx for responding! I tried those since these are quite popular sizes but the inner pin is too fat... Even the power adapters with different plugs to put on didn't include a suitable one... thought it's some J (apan) plug ...

    ^ i was lucky enough to find another pair of PT01s for very little money (50€ for both) when no one was giving a shit about them - this one is 7"only - true - concepted for scratching only... the other pair i have is my park set up - each one paired with a faderbox and a passive mixer in between - good fun!

    it's pretty simple to add a bluetooth receiver as a line in also - my faderboxes have them and it's suuuper chilled to stream a beat/looper instead of having another wire...

    @ rasteri

    do you already can tell how a M44/7 would perform with your nanofader PCB?

    also.. you going to sell complete kits ( without fader ) or do I have to get the components on my own? I think got everything - not as SMDs though - a complete package would super sweet - a list should do it too if it eases stuff for you :)

    Raiden-Innofader

    sth. that's weid about the picture is that the screws are M2 - which are used for smaller ALPS fader (just like in the raiden/frisk)... The Mini-Innofader is hold by M3 screws though... I also can't make out any I/O's on that thing... looks like early stage to me... hope they make it rechargable...

    Anyone know if the mini takes 9V like the innofader pro (2) ?

    @vekked
    The AMX unfortunatly only works in consumption with a laptop or IPad.... aaaaand that sucks so bad :(
    You can't use it as standalone 2CH mixer for analog sources without having it hooked up to a computer...

    Mini Focus Fader

    Yooooo.... :)

    Would you mind sharing what component / photoreflector you are using? - the link does not work for me somehow :(

    I tried something with a photoresistor / led a while back... the fader was turning on/off (via reed switch) a LED that's been sitting in a shrink tube with a photoresistor. it was quit fiddly to adjust the distance/ but overall it was kinda ok but the curve was way to soft so I ditched the idea - seems like I wasn't that wrong though - didn't know about photoreflector until today .. guess the whole thing is mono but passive, right? super curious about this cause I love my non-wiper-fader :)

    got it ...

    more inspiration for all ya...

    i also added little 20mm line faders to my PT01 - they are linear though - I kinda like the curve they're offering... they do fit perfectly into those 4 plastic thingys around the platter... One Fader was about 0,70 so it's no big drama to abuse em - I actually been rocking that pair for 2 years now and never did anything beside some cleaning spray (pressure air (?) only) ...

    the buttons are for start/stop (PT01) and the other one is for stop on my RC3 Loopstation - or your MPC, APC... anything that supports a footswitch..

    (replaced the 45 adapter with another speaker)

    also.. how about a target light? the one I used was from a brand called Hollywood sth sth - way cheaper then a Vestax or Numark one...


    missing stuff on the recent update is the rechargeable battery, the nanofader PCB for my Pro-X, a Shure M44-7 and the ultra-pitch + reverse-mode... hope to have it finished before the 7PT drops ;)

    can't wait til someone comes up with a solid solution to stabalize the platter... *sigh*

    cool to see people loosing fear of modding their shit...

    for the start/stop button I'd like to add that I did it the same way in 2013 but I switched over to a momentary switch which is connected to a relais - the big advantage is that the button is way (!!) softer then the hard on/off switch which needs quit some force to activate... also the hard button thing was causing dropouts when not beeing pushed right....

    I could imagine you also could hang a potentiometer on the "+ lead" to get that ultra pitch function - haven't tried it yet but quit convinced it should do it .. maybe hang a little capacitor in before... also changing + / - on the motor makes it go backwards - sth you easily can realize with another 3x 2pin switch.. (sorry for the messy description).. as much as i love the focus ultra pitch mod i think you can do it a little cheaper on your own - it's cool that he offers the boards for people that can't though..

    for the rechargebale batteries i highly recommend those:
    http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wiederaufladbare-Lithium-Ionen-Batterie-Akku-Ladegerat-DC12V-1800-12000mAh-EU-/191732047724?var=&hash=item2ca41edf6c:m:mBOJJ4jWLT0jup3V-HOlLJw

    they're affordable and they come with a charger and all - you even can downsize them by taking off the "jacket"...


    thanx to rasteri for adding the waxcutter to the wiki - will add an instruction asap... and yeah... I WANT THOSE PCB's!!! :)

    ..gettin a little off - but are there comparable apps for androids which can be used with timecode vinyls?

    One of the prototype faders we did also had an oscillator/Tone Generator so you could practice your clicks with it in your headphones while walking haha :-)...

     

     

    damn - there is always someone that already did it lol that's pretty cool though - i'm concepting an ATARI CUT CONSOLE at the moment - little synth (1OSC) with build in cutting fader....

    another waxcutter-thing i thought of was to put in a switch to route my bluetooth input to the cutting fader so you can stream sounds/noises/long notes onto your passive faderbox to train your cuts when beeing in the wilderness...

    you can't put a magnet under the RAIDEN - check the picture of the FRISK FADER (page 5) - there you see that it's not running on rails - it's sitting right on the feet of the wipers - push it it down a little and you'll see what i mean :)

    another thing to share: the RAIDEN is put into a "HAMMOND 1551 BLK" enclosure - there is not enough space to fit in a regular fader and 3 sockets though - a permanent wire for the turntable would an option though - i thought of a supply box also - having the little hammond fader case and a second one for the bluetooth and power supply but somehow none of my friends was feeling that.. *ignorant bastards*
