my custom built tsp/ssl midi controller

[plastisol7]

So after months of r&d, 75ft of wire, approx $350, too many hours of soldering, lots of frustration and anguish, I have finished the first of 4 identical midi controllers for my dj setup. Just thought I would share with the forum that helped me for inspiration and ideas for a new controller that truly fits my needs.
The case was ordered from protocases and made out of 18ga cold rolled steel, the midi board from highly liquid. 6 sanwa arcade buttons, 1 led backlit arcade button, 17 1/2" momentary buttons, 9 rotary pots, and 1 technics sl1200mk2 slide pot.

Looks awesome. Congrats on finishing it.

it comes with complimentary sauce too!

Does the fader still have the click, and is it 14 bit midi ?

also : kudos for seeing it through.

is that an LED shining through a green button?

It's a transparent green arcade button with a LED underneath it.

That looks amazing. I like the idea of using the tech 1200 pitch fader. But i really like how playable it looks. Everything is pretty spaced out, but it has a fairly small looking foot print. And it looks tall enough to sit pretty level with a mixer. Kudos.

Nice one, plastisole!

where did you get the technics pitch fader from? is it a Linear 20K jobbie?
