Tempo fader encoder design

[djkrugger]

Have you considered motorized faders? Yeah they are expensive but they could work.
Another thing you could try is to replicate the faders of the V7. When switching from one deck to the other the tempo fader stops working until you get it to the position of Deck 2.
If the fader of Deck A is below the one of Deck B an arrow pointing up lights up and the other way around. You would need however to find a way to send the BPM/+- pitch from Traktor to your Controller

I have a scrap yamaha 01v that can donate the faders, but the problem with motorized faders is the servo, you can use a dedicated one or implement it in the software, but it would be more overhead for the poor arduino for a feature that i really don't need that much.

That's why I won't be using arduino for my next project(s) xD(chipKit Max32 FTW)

BTW, have you found a way to send the pitch value of a deck via midi?

Well not actually the pitch value, but the tempo fader position (is that the same?) go to add out>pitch fader>cc#x.

I must be blind, I can't seem to find it xD
Is it add out>tempo>tempo fader?

If so, it just controlls a led. However you could route it to an analog in in arduino which would essentially give you the position!!

Thanks a million I've been going nuts over this xD

Yea, it says LED but if you send it as a CC instead of a note it will send values from 0x01 to 0x7F, i discovered with midiOX.

you can use a note or a cc - just make sure that blend is selected.

Even better. Now I can implement motorized faders in my controller

I was working in implementing this but i want to finish this project first or it will become the pharaoh's tomb (they where always working on them) Besides, it seems that somebody stole my idea.

the scs.3d and scs.3m have cool touch strips that u can add into a setup with other controllers. and they sometimes for really cheaply on ebay etc.

Look what i found surfing for components. I have my next project in mind, but i think it will be more "VJ friendly".
