Hows progress going dude?

I've pretty much got all the parts I need now - just waiting for the Arduino to arrive so I can start programming.

I'm considering designing a more mixer-focused midi controller instead of two cdj style controllers... mainly so I don't have to make two controllers! (but also so that I can just use one usb lcd screen, to save on costs)

Awesome- I can't Wait to see this badboy coming together!
I am currently plannning a mixer based controller, but would love to include a jog wheel or jog wheels- what would you use for these? As there doesn't appear to be appropriate components around for this sort of thing, only pots and faders etc.

almost got the clone software working now - starting to become semi-useful lol

I'm working on an entirely new layout which will be much more mixer-focused and less cdj-tentric (so unlike the original design). I'm calling this controller the Traktor Koncept as I hope NI will take some of my ideas on board when they see it all running! Will upload some designs in the next few days.

I'm still waiting for a load of parts to arrive that I ordered last week. Most importantly, I badly need the digital calliper to arrive so I can accurately measure everything and make sure I design the front plate properly (so that the holes are big enough etc).

Seems like a MIDI-Fighter, but you're just re-mapping everything for your ease of usage . I like the way the tracks show up though on the separate screen, it'll be easy to quickly check your BPM n stuff.

Want software to map HID input devices(external keyboards) to custom midi events?
