DJTT "Chroma Caps ®" - Fitting Guide

It means that the caps will go on the pots or fader post so far as to touch the face of the controller/mixer/etc. Same thing happens on the crossfader on my apc40. The fader cap can not be pushed down all the way. Hope I explained that clear enough. It makes sense in my head…

Understood…Cheers Will

Got my new Chroma Caps for the DDJ-SX. I love these things!!! decided to go with Yellow & Grey Super Knobs for the EQ’s and FX sections and Black Fattys for all Gain Controls. The Fatty Knobs do sit a bit high but it doesn’t bother me at all and doesn’t affect their performance/feel.

Faders fit. Knobs not.

DDJ-SX looks so good. I wanted to try it out but they were all in boxes :disappointed:

Question re: choma caps fitting. I’ve seen that there is a 90 degree offset when using the chroma’s with the DDM4K.

Could I get around this by using a drill to drill out the flat part of the shaft recess in the chroma’s, and and then folding some paper around the shafts on the mixer to get a nice tight (interference) fit?

I did this with the splined shafts on the caps I used to mod my UC-33e. Drilling out splines was easy - but how hard is the material on the chroma’s?

UC-33e mod (incl. drilling info) here:

Cheers!

Anybody?

Patch, I dont have the mixer In Question but I have done a fair share of modding in my life. I dont see any reason why that would not work. The chroma caps are just plastic. They will drill out easy. I would get the right size bit and drill it out for a press fit meaning its a little hard to get on but it is tight. If you accidently make it a tiny bit too big, I wouldnt mess with paper. A TINY dab of epoxy like JB weld will do it. If you use a tiny bit it will be DAMN secure but will come off if you REALLY need it too. Wish you lived in the states or I would do it for you. I have a pretty nice mod shop built in my basement… good luck.

I’m more than happy to do it myself, i just want to know if the chromas are made of such material that drilling into it might make the drill “bite”, and cause the cap to spin in my hand… :rage: Ouchy.

The caps already have a shaft recess that fit’s the “D” on the pots of DDM4K - so drilling to a size where a press (interference) fit is achieved won’t be possible. And I don’t like the idea of using any glue/epoxy/cement.

A 6mm drill will do it, though.

Does anyone know if these Chroma Caps fit on a M-Audio Venom Synth? Greatly appreciated

the glow in the darks have a clear color when there not glowing i have 2

This may fall on deaf ears but it would be awesome if you guys posted your pictures of the chroma caps in this thread Post Your Chroma Cap pic/collection. - Page 3

that was people can have an easy way to view how they look without sifting through the questions.

yes i have seen them on

The Super Knobs fit on my contour. Whoop Whoop!

Por que no glow in the dark knobs?

patience, padawan

Thanks so much! This helps a bunch!

The Knobs fit on a Korg Kaoss Pad Quad.
