Is there any way to mash 2 different midi controllers together??

Here are some pics of the beginnings of the xbox mod that ill probably add to the mashup.

Woooo! only a couple more hours and ill have those m-audio halves paid and be ready for shipping!!!

Here are the items im talking about. I hesitated on these because they were so rock bottom. And im getting a good deal on shipping. All in all 19$ for both pieces

Looks like the mod and pitch wheels should hook right up to the white connectors on the left of the ozone. And the big ribbon is most likely to hook up the knobs, they probably won't hook right up, as the oxy8 has less knobs than the ozone, but it should be easy to figure out which to hook up with a voltmeter. Then you could hook up a couple extra knobs/sliders. And you can order a replacement lcd unit from m-audio's repairs department at 626-633-9055, i got that number from a post on the m-audio forums.
Then you'll have a custom ozone for way less than the original cost. Hell yeah.

yea ill probably toss in the xbox mod with that. ill have 10 buttons plus 4 more pots coming of that controller. all i gotta do now is get my iTouchMidi set up tweaked just so and ill have a nice setup for < 120$. As soon as the shipment gets in ill post some pics and some mock ups of what i got in mind.

im trying to think of a name for this monster... i may put a poll up when i get into it heavy though...

so i got my parts in today. got the bottom and looked it over. there seems to be an 8 pin ribbon that will match w/ the 8 pot bank on the oxy 8. however theres a 20 pin ribbon that would reach to where the original pots would be. ive got power hooked up to the keyboard and a usb but no response... im curious as to how this will work out...

so i got the ozone workign with traktor and ableton. it seems when i shut off the ozone it freeze the pc for a minute then comes back. once the pc comes back i dont have any functionallity. i dont know if this is from the ozone lacking half of its intended parts or if its just windows vista 32bit. also if anyone has any ideas on how to add 2 more pots and a cross fader to this setup pictured below(pots and 2 buttons of the oxygen 8) id really appreciate it. it also needs an 8 pin to 20 pin (both ribbons) converter if that actually exists.

I cant see the pics now but because of your ribbon situation, sound like you need to do some soldering. Just strip the ribbon wires and solder it to a copper pref board (get it at radio shack). Then to the pots. Hopefully that makes since?
