djdiggla Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Do they even sell C1s anymore? ...Why produce a product to pair with a product that doesn't exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubba Dutchdj Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Do they even sell C1s anymore? ...Why produce a product to pair with a product that doesn't exist?Depending what ya believe there was only ever 150 or 250 C1's ever made, probably the lesser I reckon. But that aside the PDX 3000 is midi controllable and fretless fader friendly. Post djworx and techtools coverage Info is non existent on the fretless fader, there was also some cool footage of John beez dominating his fretless fader at the scratch pad, I've read the odd thing here and there that a couple of dj's have had made to order units. My guess is its probably to expensive to get the project in to production for a sole trader but not profitable enough for a proper manufacturer to take on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ah, I didn't know the 3000 was midi controllable. That would be dope. Beez came thru town a couple years back to so Fun Fun Fun Fest with Nicknack. Supposedly Beez was in talks with Vestax. I figure you would have to self produce or do a kickstarter thing because the small number of sales just doesn't justify building it otherwise. I used to not be so pessimistic but after reading that DJworx article on the metrics for bringing back the technics turntable I don't think there is much future in traditional turntables or scratch gear from large companies at least.

Guest rasteri Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I was working with him on it for a little bit, I dunno how much I can say about it though. AFAIK it's still in the pipeline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well that would be sick. Is buy one if the price point is low enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubba Dutchdj Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Me to, it's pretty much why I grabbed PDX 3000 in first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie(the)goonie Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I actually got to talk to John himself about the ff maybe 4 or 5 months ago at scratchpad LA ... Basically, it isn't profitable for Vestax to produce something like this (at least not now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 been waiting on the FF ever since i saw the beez videos years ago, think i saw fedo did a mod ... looks so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah, sort of just went away. I would love to pay for a custom one too. At this point I'd probably even pay for some sort of DIY kit and make my own. It would be nice to use somebody's template though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sadly today it's hard enough to find a manufacturer who makes a new scratch mixer, never mind one where the fader travels on a second axis to control pitch via midi. I reckon its home brew or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkei Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How about if everybody on here, who wants one, join forces and do one on our own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't want one, but that is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namelesswon Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 cheers for the replies. Found these other projects too http://djworx.com/two-new-fretless-fader-projects/ If anyone is down with Beezy still or any of the other pioneers in the link and can convince them to open source that shit that would be some cool shit. peaccee and sorry for not keeping in touch dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I wrote the code and designed the circuit for John's fretless fader.We had it working with various selectable scales (major/minor/pentatonic/blues) and it was pretty cool. We're both major procrastinators though.I've not heard from him in something like a year. I'd love to help anyone who wants to make one (the electronics are simple as fuck) but I don't wanna go behind John's back. He's on facebook, I'd try and get hold of him there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah man, if it's not going to happen as an all-in-one product it would be way better to do it as a kit or even a blueprint of some type than just letting it languish. A kit would help prevent people from jacking the blueprint and sharing it. Stuff like this gets made in the arcade and pinball circles. I wonder if a team up would work on the manufacturing end. Or what about the Technics mod guys? Ship your mixer to them, they mod it out, send it back, kick a portion of the profit to John, etc?
