    Default DIY: Project denon dn-hc1000

    Before I got my Midi Fighter, I was using the denon controller with traktor as an additional controller to use with my Kontrol S4.

    It worked, but I wasn't fond of the buttons. After doing a lot of brainstorming today, I decided that I would mod the controller with arcade buttons. This will require the design of a new enclosure, desoldering of the old switches, and wiring from the buttons and encoders to the board. There are a total of 43 switches and 3 encoders. So, this will be a fairly robust controller.

    The layout of the board is very simple:





    I will post my progress as this project moves along.

    Yeah I feel ya on the buttons a little too close together and a bit clunky.
