Yeah I was gunna say, why the hell would you want to have decks share EQ pots and faders?
Personally I’d just bump it up to 4 channel.
only this time: working with traktor. Ive heard some problems with the behringer encoders.
more like the livid instruments code (they look way better too):
here is a quick 4 channel version:
There is still alot of unused space, I will take care of that in my upcoming design/photoshop mini marathon…
Thinking of crosfader assign buttons, shift button, 4 FX button for each deck, (like in traktor, the X1 only has two…)
anyone got more suggestions?
I will photoshop a 2 deck version with LED rings too.
and an FX only unit.
coming up in about 2 weeks.
but first:
Exams…
+1, though double deck selection mode… I don’t know..would just do a deck a,c on the left and b,d selection on the right. Or, if both faders are needed
for 1 deck,just have a single deck selector possible.
But I’m guessing this could also be done with modifier buttons instead of hardware presence of deck selectors.
I’m gonna be totally honest, for me something like an M4 would be a totally perfect.(Mixerpart of the S4)
But seriously, problems with the BCR2000 encoders?
Not that I know of. 
I dont have a BCR2000 or used one, but on this forum and the native instruments forum I saw some threads of ppl complaining about glitching lights and so on.
I thought so that it was them doing something wrong, cause mostly I’ve heard good stuff about them.
shame that they look so ugly (my opinion)
If I’d buy one, I’d make a custom case right away, if possible.
haha, I read your story about your BCR
I wasn’t talking about yours, I’m sorry if I hurt his or your fealings
aaaand we’re back on topic
I think it’s weird no company has a modular kind of serie.
everything can ofcourse be mapped, but something like we’re talking about here isn’t out there yet.
right?!
Glitching lights is only a problem of the way you’ve mapped stuff on both controller and software.
But coming back on my remark, design it more like the mixerpart of an S4 and you will have a win!
now that you say it like that it becomes very easy.
just added some buttons to map in the empty space in the middle, (rane sixty-eight copyright…)
cue levels, and 3rd and 4th FX button
et voila:
personally I’d like it to have the same face plate and LED colours and buttons as the kontrol X1. but maybe thats just me.
Don’t mind a bit of both, but this just became a little bit more awesome.
The only thing now is; ideally you would also want faders or knobs to control the dry/wet of the fx.
So maybe add 4fx knobs in the middle?
(Also loving the M4 name adopting. )
this is one of the greatest threads ever.
i think djtech should have some of the forum members help design a controller like this.
this forum would release waaaayyy better equipment then NI and Rane
lol i feel like such a caveman, all i pretty much know is “push button loud noise move knob louder noise”
lulz
Ghehehe, yeah, it would be cool if this could ever get adopted.
Thanks
I’d love to be one of those
would be great if NI and DJTT looked thru some posts and find some members for an alpha feedback team or something like that.
not only beta testers.
I’d be willing to help for free, or with a tip: finished product
just imagine the grand masters playing on your design
someone should just send in a thread like one of these to the djtt team and see what they think.
i would love to see them taking the ideas of this forum and having some of the members help design and create something.
there are so many creative and brilliant tech’s on this site. it could change the future of controllerism and djtt
i’m not good with like the technical stuff, but still. i know what i want in a controller and i know what i want it to do lolz
as my last post stated.
push button loud noise, turn knob louder noise
endless LED encoders for dry wet, keep the D/W on the X1 as main knobs.
other wise you’d get alot of soft pickup hassle.
maybe just 4 endless encoders in the middle free for the user to assign.
game: guess what equipment I got all my parts from. (all uploaded images so far in this thread)
endless encoders added.
This totally needs some buttons per channel below the faders.
ie. Basic transport functions (pause /play, cue, sync, beatjump + and -) and it’d be my dream controller. (with maybe some push encoders that control loop set and size)
would have to be very small buttons,
and then we’d be going more and more towards a full midi deck controller. only without jogwheels.
the idea was a mixer, wich in this state has FX functionality (like most 4 channel mixers)
it has just dry wet, and on/off buttons for the FX.
the rest would have to be done with a X1 or similar controller.
I just wanted a controller for the internal mixer.
I would buy something like this. Funny it reminds of what Stanton did with their SCS series. If this had a built in hub and audio interface it would for a dj like me who is trying to minimized what Im carrying, but still has everything I need to mix and control effects.
audio interface would make it bigger.
the way I imagine it would be same height as an X1. I dont know if that will leave any room for sound card.
having said that, all you need is a 2 channel sound card. (I think)
audio out and headphone out. because of the internal mixing no other channels required.
or am I wrong here?
Transport controls can’t hurt. There’s plenty of space below each channel. It’d add a slight touch of independence to this controller that I feel would help it sell.
then you’d still need a browse knob etc for it to work on it’s own.
maybe just mixer controls and enough transport controls to mix one track into the next.
no fx except the four on/off button for each deck.
would be a minimalistic controller, bedroom party or something. but could also be used as with a bigger midi based setup.
