My S4 is great overall, but I don't like the knobs. They were a little too large for my taste and you can't really see the white notch. So, I went with some smaller ones for my eq section and the dry/wet knobs on the effects banks. Any 6mm D-shaft/flatted shaft knob will fit. The ones I picked had a 12mm skirt.

Next thing I will do is order some new fader caps for the crossfader and pitch faders. Then, order a cover from 12 inch skinz

New knob compared to the OEM knob.

New knobs on the layout I wanted:

I hate cables as much as the next guy, so I decided to try and make a container for my stuff.

Worked on it today and it certainly needs some more work, but here's the idea:

I put an usb hub in there for all the cables.

I need to fix a piece of wood in the back to stabalize the x1's and cover up the cables and then it's only 3 cables out: sound, usb and power.

Then some polishing and painting et voila; my own all in one controller.

Nice job and great idea :)

that's bad ass!

Is that 2 X1's and an audio interface?

Great work.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yup, it's 2 X1's sitting on an audio 8 dj.

It's actually too bad the usb-connectors of the X1's stick out so much, so i have another 5 cm's of extra casing, which wasn't really necessary. On the other hand, it could host a nanokontrol/pad on top quite nicely.

All in all i'm pretty happy it all has a tight fit in the end, seeing I'm far from a carpenter.

Will post some pics when it's done.

Nice one Michiel! :D

Great idea Michielygil - i was thinking of getting another X1 and doing a similar set up - but i only have an audio 4 dj. i think i'd miss having faders too much - but its a great compact set up. looking forward to final pics of the finished product.:)

I have a mixer standing here too, but I actually like just djing with 2 x1's a lot. For some reason djing without faders forces me to focus and the equalizer-part a lot more, resulting in sharper mixing. Funny but true :)

do you not use any faders at all? What do you do then, EQ up and down and have a button to switch volume faders from 0 to full or what?
