Thanks guys for the comments. Makes all of the hard work worthwhile.
I will release more details soon, need to wait for my sponsor 'Lenovo' to allow me
to release it.

A quick bio on myself.(click link to see more of my work on my site.)

I just started into music. Say the last two years, but I am having fun modding and creating all kinds of music with all kinds of hardware.

If you have any specific questions, I will leak more info

So what you decide to mod a controller and not build something from scratch using some midi brain?

[deathstarchris]

Great question.
First I like the layout of the controller. Second I am hard on my equipment, so I need the ability to change out parts if I break something. (especially on the road!) I could produce a pcb just for this box, but I figured I could start with a mixtrack and add to it as I needed. I have two more brand new mixtrack's sitting on the shelf that I can immediately rip the main boards out and replace the one in the unit in about twenty minutes and be up and running. Also I could replace the buttons if I needed as well. Plus at $100 a piece for the hardware, the total cost to replace it including my time is minimal. If I had to replace my own pcb and all of the pots on the board it might take me a week. That is too costly and not efficient for down time.

The ABS plastic case the mixtrack is installed in is very weak, so I replaced it with half inch Lexan. (polycarbonate) It's the same stuff bullet proof windows are made of. It will not crack like acrylic and will not break at all and can be easily backlit.

An excellent justification, thanks!
