45mm fader part # needed for DIY MIDI Controller

[lqbert]

Anybody have a good part # for a 45mm linear fader to use in a DIY MIDI controller I'm building?

I want it to feel like a good crossfader, but it's should be just a linear 10K fader... preferably a good fit with the Vestax fader caps the DJTT store sells...

PLEEEEEEASE somebody hook me up!

Thanks!

Nobody has built a MIDI controller with a 45mm slide potentiometer (crossfader) that they're happy enough with to give me a suggestion???

The Pro X Fade looks pretty good, but I haven't used it.

My secret to finding parts is downloading the mouser pdf catalog here

Get the catalog for passive components and look under potentiometers. I like bourns slide pots and alps pots but it really is preference. You are not going to find much in the low restiance (ones you can move fast) at least not in 45mm.



This 60mm is what I have for my DJ crossfader

if you compare that to this one

notice the 2nd one is thin thats for faders where you want physical restiance (volume levels).


Hit me up if you have any questions


oh 1 more thing if you google 45mm dj crossfader thers some $40-$80 ones out there
