APC40 Crossfade replacement..?

[JuanSOLO]

Anyone tried replacing the APC40's crossfade with a better one?

Maybe something like the pro X fade. Any ideas on what would work?

[fa5ky]

im pretty sure there isnt enough room to fit a pro x fade or innofader in there.

You can just add a break out box though, and wiring up the xfader is pretty straight forward.

i was wondering the same thing the other day. i even stopped using the crossfader for mixing, i only use the line/up faders now. i mapped that to a wet/dry for my sends fx

Yeah, the APC is too shallow for those faders. This is a strange idea, but it may be possible to put a ProX in there, and just leave the fader door off of the APC. Since the APC doesn't sit flat on the surface, there may be enough clearance. But I haven't opened it up yet so I don't know...

Anyone have any luck switching out the crossfader on the apc40?

I'm looking to do this myself

[JuanSOLO]

I switched my plastic cross fader knob, for a piece of lead.

I am also trying to get a tiny little strip of rubber to stay down to serve as a bumper for when cross fading or "scratching"

This works better than before, and not as troublesome as going all the way with replacement.

Where did you find the lead knob? I'd like to replace that at least if I cant replace the whole unit. I tend to make very fast movements with the crossfader and have already broken 2 sliders doing the same thing...

and those knobs come off way to easily... I might glue them on if not replace them

[JuanSOLO]

I made one from a hunk of lead.

the proxfade looks smaller than the innofader.. yeh maybe have it stick out the bottom, and create some longer feet for the APC40.. and put it in a case.. it would be nice to really be able to scratch with it.. @fa5KY so you think the wiring should go easy tho??
