**Novation Twitch with the new DJTT Knobs & Faders**

I managed to fix the chroma caps so that they no longer sit high on the Twitch.

I used aluminum billet knobs for the endless encoders, pitch & browse.

What did you do to make the caps fit?

Inside the cap theres a plastic stopper. If you take a thin screwdriver, ( i used a letter opener), you can apply pressure at the base of the stopper and knock it right out and then the cap will fit perfectly on all knobs. Even the super knobs work for the pitch and browse but i didnt like having a marker for endless knobs so i used the aluninum ones

your method of fixing that sit high knob has got me interesting to but DJTT knobs again. Could you please post some photo how perfect of the knob in the Twitch layout?

Thank for your fast reply sinfm. It seem like its still look really cool though. How about the fader? I heard someone mention that DJTT fader cap will make the volume fader lose up and down by themselves.

yeah, they are really annoying, they come off if you are too rough..

Thanks for that update regarding the chroma knobs, will probably go ahead and make the purchase now.

The fader caps are pretty useless on the Twitch. There's too much play and they are VERY easy to accidentally tilt on the post which then makes the base of the caps drag on the faceplate of the Twitch.

What am I missing in this technique? I see the stopper. I apply pressure. The stopper stubbornly remains. I apply pressure and twist. I apply pressure and angle. The stopper stubbornly remains.

Whew, got it. After ruining a knob or two by applying too much pressure, and after breaking out the mallet and X-Acto knives, I finally found the right sized jeweler's screwdriver. For me, it was pressure to the side of the stopper, followed by a twisting/rotating around the stopper similar to a slow hand-drill. After I finally figured out what worked for me, it was relatively quick and easy.
