Best 4 Channel Midi Mixer

Hey everyone,

So I am in need of a 4 channel midi mixer mappable to Traktor. I need a level fader, 3 EQ knobs, a filter knob, a crossfader and a headphone cue button (this isn’t 100% needed). My current idea is a K2 and a Novation Nocturn which I have no issue with, but having it all on one controller would be nice. I am aiming for modular so small would be nice, but also no a necessity. Lastly, PLEASE don’t recommend the MM-1 from Behringer, this can’t wait that long.

Cheers,
Prof.

Xone:42 :smiley:? I’m actually selling mine… (shameless plug)

But seriously, I like it quite a bit.

There’s Denon as well.

Then pretty much K2.

Wait. You can midi map the Xone:42? :eyes: If so, how much are you selling for?

Kind of thought so, thanks Stew.

5

Yep no worries.

Edit: Xone 42 ain’t full MIDI mixer.

There is no perfect four channel midi mixer.

7

Unless somebody build custom one :slight_smile:

8

Alas. Thanks guys! I’ll more than likely just go with my current plan then!

That is something I considered doing. I solder lots and program lots, but midi just confuses the hell out of me. :disappointed:

Hahah oops. I just read the EQ, level fader, filter, crossfader, and headphone cue part :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you care if it’s an actual mixer mixer too? Behringer’s DDM4000 should have enough MIDI buttons and knobs for you, won’t break the bank, and is pretty light weight considering its size. Just be sure to get a MIDI-to-USB cable and you’re set.

Livid Brain jr is walk in the park and all components you can order from their site are high quality. Now when it comes to mapping I’m sure someone can give you a tip or two :wink:

13

Oh great minister of mappings, would you like to aid a young electronics junkie in creating the world’s first perfect midi 4 channel mixer?

14

Sure, just create a sketch first so I could know what you’re considering perfect for your needs.

15

I will work on this. It might be a while as I have never used a 4 channel mixer before so I don’t know exactly what I need, but I will PM you with some sketches once I have an idea.

16

M Audio X-Session pro is very cheap and almost has everything you need. Filter knob missing but could be mapped with a shift modifier.

17

I did contemplate that one, it’s a bit toyish feeling and much too big for what it really does.

18

If the M-Audio is too big for you, you want something really small. I’d look into those Faderfoxes or going custom.

19

New Plan: It’s called “Operation: Fuck Plan A”. I am going with the K2 and Nocturn combo for now, and this fall I’m going to order an Audio 10 and a DJM-900NXS, and then possibly colab with Stew on a custom mixer when I don’t want to use the DJM.

Why are you ordering an A10 with the 900NXS? You know it’s TSP certified right?
