I would guess that the rotaries come from an APC40.

I like the first idea more. this on is kinda big

correct,
the deck select LED in the earlier design came from reloop RMP-40
the rest is all S4 and X1

this on is kinda big

agreed, it takes the modular idea away.
that you can add and move around the different parts that make a S4 or VCI for instance.

If I'd just split the controls over 2 units and make them equal, you can still use it as a 2 channel mixer. or use 2 to create a 4 channel mixer.

^^Bingo

There's 4MidiLoop if pricing is not a problem, only a Midi controller though.

Haahahahaha!




Ha.

this thread just gets more and more interesting.

This would be enough for me:



The buttons under TEMPO modify the volume faders into pitch faders, while the up/down arrows help tempobend/nudge the tracks.

I have added Play and Cue transfer controls for extra control.

Select the track out of your collection with the browse knob and load it into the decks by clicking the appropriate button.


I also tried to keep the crossfader away from buttons.

[electrofunk]

why don't just drop the crossfader? there would definitely be space for some extra buttons.
i know that somehow the crossfader a basic feature of a mixer but i haven't touched it for ages. so i won't miss it.

crossfader is essential to many djs
especially for scratching
and a lot of people prefer cross fading to channel fading and some do both.

Personally, I would get rid of those weird little play/cue buttons at the bottom of the deck faders, the pitch fade buttons, and the fx dry/wet controls. Those controls should stay on the decks/effects generators. I would also replace the fx dry/wet with booth and master volume, and make the deck faders longer with the added space from removing the play/cue buttons.

Also, in a more radical approach, I would ditch the integrated soundcard and make the mixer full HID, but that is not nearly as flexible with those of you who have timecode setups and already priceier external sound cards. Would work perfect with 2 Kontrol x1s and an audio 2 or 4 dj. Would be perfect for me
