It depends on what he wants. In his video he mentioned EQs for 4 tracks.
I definitely wouldn't want endless posts on EQs.

I think endless pots are good for switching between controls with a single knob.

this project is on semi-permanent hold for now, I'm sorry to say.

The Novation Twitch pretty much covers what I want, for the right price.

LMAO!! .........and done. you need to be contacting Novation, Ean Golden and his crew or DJ Tech and putting together a portfolio for them to look at. This design for the controller trapped inside your head could make a massive amount of people happy and possibly you, a future in design.

Back on, nice to hear that. How far are you now with it and what is the next step you're going to take ?

Been following this thread for a long time, really makes me want to take apart my nanokontrol and have a play!

Good to hear your dusting this one off Milo. This build was one of the reasons I started to go down the DIY route.
How's things traveling with it?

I love it that this scene of ours attracts people of all talents. More and more EDM is becoming about your rig, how you work it, how it's routed (like custom m4l and reaktor ensembles) than just about the latest track released.
People like Tim Exile, Moldover, BT, Ritchie Hawtin and more pushing the envelope of what a performer in this genre can present.
If you could make that controller with said functionality I'd buy two just to help your biz for competition.

keeping things underwraps for now... would rather just finish everything off before I post anymore updates.

the design and concept has changed drastically by the way.

I don't know if anyone suggested this yet as I didn't go through all the pages, but it would look and feel better to work with this if the pitch controls were placed on the right side of the unit instead of left. This way, "traditional" DJs would love to "spin" with it. Other than that, very impressive work there!
