Numark Total Mod

Wow, this is really becoming a team project! I ordered my buttons today, so it's just a waiting game now. Also I got the idea to steal the leads from the "page" button on the controller and use it as a foot pedal. I'm trying to figure out how I can have both the foot pedal and the controller button work at the same time. That way I'm not required to use the foot pedal.

Great news! Got the stealth all pulled apart and thus far its going great. I'm going really really slow because obviously I don't want to screw it up. The only real problem It looks like I may run into is that of having to go with a button setup that goes something like oo8 Once I get this one going I think I'm going to try get a new face plate from numark and source some 24mm buttons and try it again with them all in a row. I'll post pictures later tonight.

Another Volume Control Widget is specifically developed as a helpful volume control Widget that makes it convenient to change the system volume or even mute it from your desktop

Update:

With some minor setbacks from trying to use the 30mm buttons, I'm back up and running with the 24mm buttons. I'm hoping to be done before Saturday night. I'll have more picture uploaded later along with some tips/hard lessons learned.

Wow! it looks like I abuse prescription drugs in that pic. LOL thats actually Vitamin C, I'm sick right now.

Where did you find 24mm pushbuttons that where as low as the 30mm ones? I'm only using 3 buttons per deck so it's going well for me, but 24mm buttons would look a lot nicer.

I got them from here

DJTT has them cheaper here

I would have gladly given my money to Ean had I realize they carry the 24mm ones and not the 30mm ones. They're not the low profile ones Which is making it a bit of a challange. Such is life

Got four of the buttons hooked up and they work, the only thing is they are sending the wrong Midi value. Looking at the circuit it appears as though resistors modify the incoming flow, thus determining the what midi output is played when the button is pushed. So my next step is to grab a potentiometer and begin goofing around with that seeing if I can change the midi output. The funny this once all the kinks are worked out this will literally be a 2-3 hour project for everyone else. Also if I don't have this solved by monday, I'm sure I can grab a schematic from Numark that will make the reverse engineering much easier.
