never soldered anything in my life but a korg nanokontrol is a cheap place to start. i want to repackage one to use with ableton.
this is the draft with 22 buttons and 9 knobs. i plan to lose the 9 faders unless someone can think of a logical place for them.



a friend of mine has a CNC and has offered to help with the case.

Cool mods.
At some piont I will be revamping my VCI 100. Diff coloured LEDs for some functions and a total respray on the top plate.

Plus sandblasting the clear jog wheels to a frosted finish. ;-)

For text on the buttons I have come up with a professional aplication. Get lettraset... apply to clear acetate squares the same size of the buttons and apply inside the buttons using a thin film of pro photo mount spray. Looks good........ this technique is used in building props for film.

I have worked in film as an Art Director .. and production set designer. ;-) and have a degree in Fine Art. So I know this works... but skill is required and patience.

This is my recently finished mod of my Digital Jockey 2. Play, Cue and Cup buttons were completely changed and modified with 12x12 Omron B3F switches, and some led customization was made for better orientation in dark circumstances.

Cheers,

Could the contacts for the faders be re-purposed for more knobs? or why not add faders to the controller? I've been thinking of doing something similar to my nanokontrol, and I see no reason to leave any control options unused!

Woah! Two mods I was thinking of doing on the same page! I've been trying to figure out the best way to frost the clear plastic on my vci100 jogs too! i was considering just sanding the bottom surface, so that it gets a frosted glow from the leds beneath it, but leaving the top and the edge with the original polished finish. That way you can get a bit of the frosted look without there being a porous surface to get all grimey from being handled so much.
