Ouch, my brain.
i hate when this happens to me:
It starts off with telling myself, “I want some cue points and loop controls, something like a midifighter”. Then I think, “want faders too, ooh and 8 knobs, and an endless encoder”.
cuz now, everything from a dual diy midifighter scheme, to mpd32, to nanoKontrol + nanoPad.
So. lol
any suggestions for a controller that has:
4-6 faders
8 encoders
and 16 pads???
ive thought of:
midifighter
mpd24/32
bcf2000
Pad+Kontrol
less than $400
APC 40 is going for $299 and I think you can find them for $250.
What he said. APC 40. What program is this for? Will your style of play benefit from having extra hardware? Are you on top of your game with your current hardware? If not, I’d say work on new techniques and tricks with the stuff you already have…
this is for Traktor.
I have my ddm4000 w 2 channels and midi, and wasnt able to comfortably configure cue points, which i have yet to actually learn to use for that reason.
initially, what planted the “thought seed” was thinking about having to take my ddm into a crowded club booth.. so I wanted a good additional AND stand alone controller.
I’m wondering how easy it is the modify a midifighter into using those expansion ports for 4 faders and 4 encoders.. Hmmm.???
I want a pitch, fine pitch, key, and fx fader(s) for each deck, and 1 of the 4 encoders could double up as a song select encoder if its a Push-button encoder.
would be cheaper too…
Fuuuuck.
The APC40 is so cheap in the US…
Its like…850 dollars here…
WTF?
I don’t think it’s that hard if your moderately capable with electronic kits.
What’s the exchange rate?
photojojo, U sure you’re not confused with the price of an APC-20?
No he isn’t:
Amazon.com:
300 USD

I have no idea if I am. never tried lol. but Im GONNA!
Nope 
And I believe I posted when they went on sale a couple of months ago. It is kind of strange that it seems to be a US only deal.
That’s the spirt!!
Its about 7 - 8 South African Rands to the US Dollar.
And on the APC40’s box…the price tag says R8000. So that’s about $1000.
I got it for R3800 which is less that half of what the geeza paid for it!
And I considered it a bargain!
LOLOL
Things here get $100 mark up instantly if not more.
Its Custom Tax firstly i think…and then …their profit!
Damn, prices are dropping hard on that one! :eek:
