yeah I've figured it out - you setup a midi output in the controller manager settings in Traktor. Set the midi output to "Tempo" (in the Tempo subcategory) and the pitch fader will now output midi data when you press 'sync'.
So now I need to choose a HID/midi brain that can accept HID data / Midi data and output it to the motorised fader... any ideas?
Very very nice project!
Really ambitous! I love it! :) The thing you do with the filter-screen is something I've thought about a long time! A really high class feature!
gonna pick up a CDJ-800 platter from a shop on Friday... they had a broken one out the back so I should get it for a decent price, hopefully!
gonna be ordering some more parts as well :)
(yeah, progress will be slow on this one)
Nice! How much for the platter?
About the progress tempo... yes... I've felt that too. It's always better to have a slow tempo, than just put something quick together!
Don't mess with the motorfaders, IMHO, they are just not worth it. Use touchstrip(s).
Midibox project has motorfader support, maybe you can just go and see what they require from your electronics.
Somthing I'd forgotton about a long long time ago but this thread reminded me of is the DJ Dao fp7 arcade platters ..the "beatmania" controller.
I had a few emails back and forward about 2 years ago regards getting patters and bits things from him for a midi turntable project...
really sturdy piece of kit if you've ever played around with the game in the local arcade it rivals most jog wheels out there IMHO :P .. i'd love to get these in a controller... the controllers are not cheap though might be worth an email or two ?

ya im watching this
WoW!
If this succeeds anything like the renders in the starting post.... Dammit, I'm wanting one too!
I just searched beatmania on youtube.. crazy crazy game, god knows how people could play that. Must take them a v long time to learn :/
They would be great for controlling traktor, as someone has said you would have to look at the laptop virtually never with these things, il have 2 when they are ready haha.. keep up the good work, wish i was clever enough to design my own controller haha
