iexist Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I ended up grounding the button to the platter. fixed the buzzing, but lost rpm controls via the PT. thankfully i have the ultra pitch mod installed. next is the lithium battery! @DJMadhatter, when you installed your platter bars, did you cut those nubs on your platter completely down or just the tips that stuck out passed the platter? I had issues with my platter bars during the first go. Has anyone discovered the best travel/flight case for your PT01? Looking for something similar to: Also, what is everyone doing for wire management? All these dangling wires are for the birds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
props to the finger Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Anyone know the dimensions of the pt01 belts? I'm looking to replace it because the speed is seriously inaccurate and it flutters like no one ever did, but I'm kinda unwilling to buy chalk up $20 for a rubber band. would've measured it myself, but I'm not with it for a couple of weeks due to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iexist Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 http://www.instrumentalparts.com/nuptpt01sppa.html dang, they're sold out. I've heard you can attach a "livestrong" bracelet, or something similar to the platter to add some extra tension, but this may stretch the belt even more.

Guest rasteri Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 My belt is 154mm along one edge, so I guess the total length would be 308? Probably 300mm is the actual size given that it's probably stretched with time. The other dimensions are 4mm (height) x 0.5mm (thickness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hey guys !! Have you seen the new PT01 SCRATCH ? With this fuckin switch.... Why did they do this ? They didn't listen us.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djmadhatter Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 has anyone torn apart a pt-01 touring yet ? are the insides essentially the same as the regular pt-01? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanol Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm looking at fitting a start/stop button to my portables and read the posts about getting a latching type switch but I have seen the guys at open format LA use an arcade type button in their kits. I thought arcade buttons were only momentary? Or are they a latching type button with an arcade button type head on? Anyway I don't fancy paying the huge shipping from the states for some small electronic parts so wanted to source parts here in the U.K. Just need to know what my options are if anyone can help.

Ethanol Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 ^ momentary switch and a print relayexample: https://www.conrad.de/de/printrelais-5-vdc-10-a-1-wechsler-hongfa-hf3fa005-ztf-1-st-507549.htmlThanks for the info man. Although I wouldn't really know how to wire it. But like I say the open format kit appears to be just the button no relay so how would it work? https://openformat.la/guides/arcade-button-mod-numark-pt-01/ This is the link to their fitting instructions. Just two wires that's it.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wax inspektor Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 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...

Guest rasteri Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Mark already posted that that approach doesn't work, unfortunately. If the 01scratch is wired how I suspect it is, then that 4-pin connector doesn't provide power so you'd have to run another couple of cables inside the device to get an inno to work. Plans are afoot though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutis Mayfield Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Numark gone for silly solution I see... Well almost you can upgrade (or maintain?) your design with the new info, cool! Keep us updated please. I still want to make almost two boards for a friend and any improvement will be welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wax inspektor Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) 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"?

Guest rasteri Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 So I've got my hands on a pt-01scratch (thanks Justin) and it's not wired how I thought. They've actually got a VCA circuit based on a SSM2164 clone by coolaudio integrated into the EQ/motor control board. Pretty decent stuff, although the decay is a tad too high for my liking. Feel-wise, the switch is surprisingly usable. I cut hamster and can do crabs and 2/3 click combos pretty well. Unfortunately despite the platter being a bit more stable the needle still jumps like a bastard whenever you click the fader so gluing a 2p on the headshell is still gonna be necessary. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmadhatter Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 so is everything else inside there just the same as the old pt01's?can I still mod a nanofader board in just the same? I like the idea of a more stable platter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 TBH I don't think a nanofader will be necessary, there's already all the necessary circuitry to do click/pop-free cutting. Putting a mini inno on there should be pretty trivial, just need to build something like a comparator circuit (or maybe even just a pullup/pulldown resistor). I'll do some playing this week. BTW the switch has a plastic stem so I expect to see lots of broken ones very soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djmadhatter Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 haha plastic stem on the switch wtf numark that seems like a really bad decision on their part or perhaps a really good one probably a marketing scamthey'll start selling replacement switches at 20 bucks a pop soon haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdsk Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 HI everyone i was really happy to find this thread. I bought a numark pt01 scratch , i am looking to find somewhere on the circuit to take a line stereo output to feed into my JESS DEAN fader and then from there into the aux input so that i can use the internal speaker and switch off the direct audio to speaker using the internal scratch switch, any help really appreciated. I am wondering if i can just take an audio out put from some of the terminals in the switch and will investigate tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The connector for the switch doesn't actually carry audio, it just acts as a control voltage switch for the VCA. You could probably wire up the Jesse Dean fader like a switch and use that instead of the stock switch however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdsk Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Rasteri thx for the quick reply. do you know anywhere on the circuit i can take line level audio from . I just want to solder on a jumper lead with a 3.5 jack on the end . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
