Guest Symatic Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 so i guess its back to plan a.... backtrack can I borrow your brain for a week or two so i can figure out how to do this? the digital box you mentioned sounds cool.... I just wanna be able to go down to -50%..... the thing i noticed with the vid i posted is that the torque seems pretty good, he stops the playyer with his thumb at one point and it jumps right up to speed very quickly.

Guest Symatic Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ok so i found this thread http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4506&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 where the same guy who makes the mega pitch box i posted about is giving advice to someone trying to get 78rpm. I'm struggling to understand it all though. but basically, as Backtrack said, you can just change out the crystal which is a relatively simple mod to do by the looks of it. but figuring out which frequency to choose is the challenge. this website sells them though, http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=107203+2031+203436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtrack Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 so i guess its back to plan a.... backtrack can I borrow your brain for a week or two so i can figure out how to do this? the digital box you mentioned sounds cool.... I just wanna be able to go down to -50%..... Working on it but im so busy with else all the time. I have found a way that should work very well and give you any range you want.Give me a month or so.

Guest Symatic Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 awww yeah @eric.... yeah i know.... I use pdx ususally so its not like i NEED a -50% deck. but theres definately something i like about technics, and i'd like to try one at this speed.... pity its such a ball ache. but its one of those things ive ended up obsessing over. remember a while back you spotted a £40 str8150 in bristol on gumtree? i missed it unfortunately but was well up for it just so i had all the 3 best tt's mwahahaha. but the tech's just feel diffferent, its gotta happen!

DJ Rock Well Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Damn ultra-pitch records are like a drug, once you're used to those tiny hard movements 331/3 feels like such hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 yep theyre a bit of a cheat, BUT i do like that you can arrange sounds so that one revolution contains a bar's worth of sounds. so -50% in 33 mode gives you cuts perfect for around 70bpm, and you press the 45 button and boom your up to about 90. so it does actually make a lot of sense..... when i cut on my tech's its like fast forward for me. the tape deck goes nice and slowly too so its pretty easy to see where you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 THEY DID IT! KAB USA now offering half speed mods for TECHNICS ULTRAPITCH TECHNICS. boom! http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhYmEs Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I had done a mod like this back in 2010. I changed the crystals on my 1210 and I got +/-28% pitch but it was very unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i saw that man, looks cool! Yeah that was why i contacted the guy, so we could get round the instability. I you check the vid further up this thread, theres a uk guy who uses a digital signal from an external box to replace the quartz in the technics, abd he get very stable results... So i showed that to KAB and the guy seems to have sussed another way of doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
