NI S4 System? Nah, DIY 4 Channel TP Controller

[Punky]

i know its quite difficult to design, but there was an idea floating around (maybe a blog post) about a magnetically linking modular controller. would be neat to rearrange hardware to meet the needs of new software updates.
......wishfull thinking i know

The Stanton SCS.3D system does this, largely because it's touch based.

I think they were just trying to demonstrate the fader, and figured that the video from January with the prototype demonstrated the other features. But you're right they ought to have a video of the real product in use for mixing, like the original prototype video.

For sure, and to that they most certainly succeeded, the faders appear to be quite robust and responsive from what I can tell. But yeah for those who arent the scratch type (which in my honest opinion, this controller reaches out to that demographic), the video really didn't do much in the ways of telling the viewer what makes it unique, what its capable of, etc.

Oh well, guess we gotta wait and see for ourselves.

Is it possible to build a controller with one Livid Brain and be divided on two units and conect them by RJ45 Ethernet???

you could use RJ45 cable to route the outputs between two devices but you'd be limited to the 8 wires inside the cable (and it wouldn't be ethernet of course).

probably a vga cable would be better...

Check into CPC connectors.

You can get them in different pin counts.

Who actually need 4 decks?

I listen to loads of stuff on here and soundcloud and I never heard anyone using 4 decks.

At best you might want 3 - or ideal would be 2 decks and 2 sample banks ... hmmm there's an idea ...

i used 4 decks in this mix right here, http://soundcloud.com/bobolson/918-mix
and have started to use 4 decks more often
