    Default Scratch Fader decision.....help!

    Hey everyone!

    I need some help deciding on a a Scratch Fader.

    I will be modding it into my APC80....so the APC40 essentionally.

    So the 2 choices I have at the moment are:

    1) Pro x Fade
    2) Innofader Pro\ Innofader

    I have gotten some info from Ebsel in regard to the Pro X fades wiring and how I will need to change it for the connector on the APC40....simple enough.

    I guess it will be simple enough to figure it out. I know Padi has the PxF in his VCI100....and that was no issue installing.

    So size is gonna be a factor...will need to leave the backdoor of the X Fader off..and thats fine. Its in a case.

    My actual question I want to put to you all is:

    What is the difference between these 2 faders....and do you have any other recomendations?

    I like a solid feeling X fader....but it must be a smooth quick glide too.

    I am not able to go to a shop to see if for myself...there are none here in CT that have such faders, nor do I know anyone that has one.

    Thus..I have no clue.

    Thanks!

    I heard infinium faders are good, but I'm no expert.

    Pro X-Fade is a Lexus
    Innofader is a Bugatti

    The pro x-fade on its loosest is still not that loose compared to the innofader.

    If you want a Pro x-fade though I can sell you one for fairly cheap that came out of my aem-100i.

    make sure you can fit an innofader in that device before you purchase it ... there's not a whole lot of space in there

    Inno and pro x are 50k faders

    If the apc is 10k.... bad bussines... ¿no?

    for my diy controller... I will buy a urei 1601 crossfader... it's 10k fader

    (sorry for my fucking english... i'm spanish hehehe)

    Yes...obviously!



    Not a noob when it comes to mods!


    I have spoken to Elliot from Audio Innovate....and he has sent me the S4 schematics used for the design of the Innobender.

    They have used this new trick to fit the Innofader in the DJM400 etc.

    I just need to work out the angle that the Innofader will sit at.

    OR....

    I just need to make a new backdoor for the X Fader. (the panel that closes beneath the X Fader at the bottom of the APC).

    Its in a case...so the latter seems to be the easiest cleanest way to do this.

    So its either the Innobender....or the new backdoor.



    I like the Pro x fade and all....but if you weigh the companies up together....Ebsel...Audio Innovate....I am leaning towards Audio Innovate.

    There is much more support etc....
