Guest rasteri Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would maybe speak to the dude at 1200plates about getting a custom box made, or perhaps search through component catalogues (farnell, rswww, etc) and look for something suitable.

Guest petesasqwax Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bear with me, Paul/Andy, and I'll point Ric in this direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ok, done that.I'm just thinking this idea through:What I would personally like is to have a box which was literally just 1 channel - Audio In/Audio Out with a crossfader. Ideally phono in/out, but it makes no difference as that can be handled with different wires.I would ideally want it to be done without modifying a PT-01 etc. that would be even better as it would stop it from relying upon being connected to a particular turntable.I guess it would obviously need power from somewhere (would a 9v battery suffice?) and I understand the potential of it requiring a phono-pre-amp, but there are plenty of cheap, small options for those.I'm trying to think as simply as possible, but the temptation to add on extra "wants" is immense...

Guest rasteri Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Pete you just described my next project. I actually started working on it before the pt-01 stuff got me distracted. It's basically like a BP faderbox but the size of a raiden fader (actually a bit bigger). It'll have RCA ins with switchable phono pre-amp, AUX in and Master Out on 3.5mm jacks, and a power supply that takes a micro-usb plug (so you can power it pretty much anywhere, including from some phones). This will be in a box that's around 4" long by 1.5" wide and 1" tall. I'm in the middle of designing a fader to go with it because the mini-innofader is too expensive and overkill for scratch DJs. Something like a focus fader (i.e. an IR optical switch fader) but in a short-body case. I've ordered a bunch of different types of mini faders to see if any of them will be suitable to use as a base. But yeah, knowing me I won't get round to it for a year or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ah, man, that's perfect!!Powering it with a micro-usb is such an excellent idea, too.If you need enclosures for them I'm sure Ric would be 100% down to help out there. But yeah, knowing me I won't get round to it for a year or so If there's anything I can do to help expedite the process, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200Plates Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hey, it all sounds immensely interesting, I'd be very happy to help on any projects, if you can just get me rough drawing of what you would like I can get it made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acts_One Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think I know the answer to all the woes of the portable setup. Mind you I did buy a few fader cribs from 1200plates for gifts for my homies. But, maybe 1200plates can make a plate for the pt-01... And have a little fold out section that would crib the portable fader. I don't know how you would be able to make it so that it doesn't impede from the lid closing properly. But what I'm invisioning is a 1200 plate with a crib hybrid. Maybe you can even create a new lid for the pt that doubles as a crib? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubba Dutchdj Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 ^minus the lid thing you pretty much said what I'm hoping to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubba Dutchdj Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 search through component catalogues (farnell, rswww, etc) and look for something suitable.Cheers dude, component catalogues of such nature sounds dangerously interesting And the active mini fader box sounds very dope!

kebzer Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'm in the middle of designing a fader to go with it because the mini-innofader is too expensive and overkill for scratch DJs. rasteri, why do you think the mini Innofader is an overkill? I guess there could be quite a few people interested in getting a portable custom version of the mini Innofader, because of the durability (in number of passes).

I guess there could be quite a few people interested in getting a portable custom version of the mini Innofader, because of the durability (in number of passes). I just mean overkill in the sense that it's analogue - for scratching, a digital on/off switch is sufficient. Innofaders are just modified A-Plus faders with different circuit boards, I'm using the same approach. If we start with a high-quality fader we'll get similar durability to the innofader, perhaps even better because the circuit will be simpler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nies One Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 On the Handy Trax , has anyone replaced the volume fader with a fader that cuts? Is that even possible? I don't know shit about audio wiring. It seems with everyone making fader housings there would be a market for a mini Inno fader drop in or at least a mod to make it work. Off the top, would losing the volume control be an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
