APC40 Crossfade replacement..?

[sarasin]

I found that I was able to set the midi setting a bit to get a very quick response from the Xfader....but this was done in Traktor.

I would like to add a scratch fader.....

Basically....I need to find the dimensions of the APC X Fader...and see what the Pro X Fade's are and see what I can do.

Will report back!

I made one from a hunk of lead.

That is the most ghetto-ass thing I have ever heard.

Any further news on the X Fader replacement?

I like Zac's idea of leaving the fader door open under the console. The fader screws in and will be secure.

Only thing I need to know is which freakin fader?

The Pro x Fade? ( I have been partial to this one for a LOOONG time....never used it tho.)
Innofader?
Innofader Pro?

Wiring wise...I see the Innofader and adapters and shit that comes with it....

Anyone with a bit of knowledge on this able to help?

Will any wiring need to be done?

BUMP!

JuanSOLO....did you ever get this working?

Innofader on the APC40?

I am now considering building it into a breakout box....

I actually got a quote from Elliot @ Innofader and it would be an extra $100 for a custom plate to fit the innofader and yes it would have to be sticking out the bottom.

I've mapped the stock APC CF in Ableton and it is very responsive and can handle flares and crabs nicely.. on the downside i dont know if its software or hardware, but when i record the automation of fast movements of the CF in Ableton, it gets adjusted by whats called linear interpolation i believe.. Ive watched videos of Ableton mapping the Rane TTM 57SL mixer. and it seems to record the automation of the CF better than the APC..

yeah...i did a similar thing in Traktor by setting the velocity of teh fader....can crab with it...but its not the same level volume everytime...and is ghetto....and not teh real deal.

Fader is gonna fuck out soon!

Elliot also sent me some dimensions of the S4 that will fit a modded innofader.

I need to check the angle that I put the fader at...that will help it fit.

He will then be able to supply and elbow type extension for the stem...and BOBS your Aunty.

I have heard that the Innofader FEELS better that the Pro x Fade.

Any care to comment that has experience on both and maybe a few diff types?

Gonna check Skratchworx too.

I still haven't tried replacing the x-fader in my APC40. However it stays elevated enough in my coffin that I am gonna try it.

I have decided to get a Xone:22 and put an Innofader in there rather.

That way, I can split my rig up into Pure DVS and KP3.....and a Digital DJing rig mixing internally with my APC80.

Or....mash em together!
