hi,



another idea...



you can also use a "video switcher", which can be controlled by the "fader start" system. you plug it between your computer video output and the TV/videoprojector you use.

some big mixer (like freevox, power or big eclerc) have it. but it's also on new one ones like pioneer DJM series.

pioneer do a video switcher especially for DJ/VJ use, the VSW-1



a fader start it's only a switch... so i think one can easily do it yourself.



i'm gonna try that ASAP

Hello VS!

the idea is great but it isn't that we need...

the DIY audio/midi mixer like the link before is to do scratch and jugglin's with ONE crossfader...

Imagine doing videojugglins... uooogg... Mr. Green

you didn't understand me i think.



if you put a fader start system (that means to solder a solder the switch or to connect it directly to your Xfader) on your Xfader then you just need 1 Xfader to control both video & audio.



i've seen a demo with DVJ-1X with the djm 909, that mixer got fader start on the X fader, so they just plug the fader start to the video switch and that's on... another solution: buy a pioneer DJM 909 !



the thing i really like to try is making a fader start with an optical switch (like the one you have inside the stanton optical Xfader).



i hope you get me...





P.S: look in the maxi patch application section, i've post a new feature proposition about pitch improvement (for turntablism especially), tell me if you understand me, and what you think about it...

I don't understand you surely... but do you understand me? The maxipatch app need midi message to mix the video and then send it.

The config will be like this:

incoming audio from turntable controls video player.

maxipatch decode the vinyl timecode )and controls audio and video file)

audio interface send audio to mixer and you can cut it.

video mix is still inside the PC and only can go out trought vga...

If you have a vga card with two or more outs you can put the mix window in one

You connects a video projector and the mix going out but...

to cut the mix video do you need a midi cc message send it to maxipatch.

For a moment anybody has developed a audio/midi crossfader.



Maybe the last ecler release?

http://www.topdjgear.com/eclernuo4.html

I'm not surely but I believe that the crossfader isn't midi

Sad

Take a look of this search at the general foruim

Hello again,

some news:

Finally my brother helps me, maybe the DIY audio midi mixer could be possible. We are valorating doepfer kit in first place. If they make a negative aswer for our needies we will try uCaps option.



If anybody helps us maybe we could go faster...

Another question: It will be possible to control ableton live with this mixer and I need some help in design its controls... What we need??



Thanks,

still working...30%

Mudo

3 years later I desist to build my own, Korg realize the most similar with it's Zero Series.

I drop the turntables on the way... I use ableton and grooveboxes, there are more exciting to me today...

In the future?
the full timecode implementation to control master tempo at Ableton Live and clip scratching...
Some new device like numark cdx mixed with c-one capable to send this midi master tempo message altogether with relative midi signal to do Scratching acurately...
A new mixer like Korg Zero8 with vestax faders (there are there) but with a full of programable knobs, buttons and transport big knob...

What do you think?

about dopefer kit:

the pots or knobs to connect must be free contact... My idea was to do a bridge from vestax fader to this and voil·... but it seems not possible...

mudo- what do you mean by free contact?

did you want to "branch-off" a working fader (under voltage) to the midi board?
this indeed does not work

did you mean anything else?

You must use a non voltage fader, a stereo one could do the work and vestax 08 is stereo.

It works.
