Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo indeed Phil! but it does looks like someone has plonked a blackjack sweet on the fader stem tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebzer Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The prototype in this video looks bulky and it's rattling, but I guess a production version will come up more firm and in place. Nevertheless, this is a very interesting application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phology Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 i like the idea, but... the design is ugly and wtf is up with the audio levels in that video?? sounds compressed to shit and nasty (in a bad way) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I dont see the value in any of this stuff, a wired foot pedal can do anything this or one of those stupidly awkward pitch crossfader mods could do, i guess im just old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rasteri Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah I'm not convinced either, it seems gimmicky and awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efhutton Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Should be just one button out on the front that you can hit with you forefinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I remember a long time ago thinking it would be nice to have velocity, displacement or even acceleration (is that a thing?) sensitive effects applied based on the crossfader. So you would scratch and depending on the way the scratch naturally sounded it would get processed / enveloped differently. Imagine see-saw chirps or something with even volume adjustment via velocity. I always thought the Rane TTM-57SL would deliver something like this. It probably exists now and I just don't know about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've more or less gotten all the parts to build a diy (hi-res) MIDI fader that will allow for that kind of stuff. So you'd obviously get the normal crossfader position, but you can then also extract direction, velocity, accel, absolute distance from center/edge, delta/change values, etc... And it being purely software based too, you can have super tweaked curves, and multiple curves applied, so a sharp start, but then a smoother taper up a bit, then another stretch with a linear curve, etc... Once I get it built I'll post it, along with the code/partslist etc.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think this is a REALLY good idea, but I'm not sure if the execution is there yet... The cap looks a bit awkward. But having controls on the fader could be so insanely useful. I think especially just the top and bottom the cap so you don't accidentally hit them while cutting, but there are so many times when I'd like to cue an effect or something mid-scratch without taking my hand off the record or fader, and this is a more efficient way than a footpedal. And think of doing loop station routines where you can start/stop loops right from your crossfader. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolt Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Yes, you are right, prototype was bulky ! But thats actually why prototype are for, testing and seeing whats wrong Maybe it was not clear enough in the first video.

DJ Rock Well Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Still looks like you're gonna end up with a big knob in your hand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolt Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Whats the problem about a bigger knob ? You canot put a microcontroller, sensors, radio, antena and battery and circuitry without adding size.Since now all the djs who tested ( hardocre sctachers ) say that bigger knob make easier cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Why so defensive ?The fact that he was making a joke about big knobs was actually quite funnyThe fact that you didn't get it was understandable if you are not native english speakerThe fact that you acted butt hurt kind of was really hilarious, yeah i know, i'm an asshole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skolt Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 was not offended at all. Do you think size could be problematic ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's not so much overall size as much as girth IMO... When the Z2 launched with a reasonably fat knob quite a lot of guys I like hang out with moaned about the fader as a whole but when I swapped the original knob for a more slender Inno one, many though the whole fader had been upgraded. But in reality it was just the feeling of a more slender knob that they preferred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 was not offended at all. Do you think size could be problematic ? Depending on your foreplay skills, your know where your doing it right when you slide your girls knickers off and she's gushing out. It shouldn't be problematic just easy it in gently . Unless your taking her up the dirt track it's recommended that you might want to lube it up (petroleum jelly based products are recommended but in case of an emergency I suppose you could raid the fridge and use utterly butterly or lard, just warm it up and smother it on).
