DIY Midi Mixer

offbeat · Post by **offbeat** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 9:12 pm

guess this is the best place to post this...

Has anyone got any tips, I want some sort of midi fader/connection to my audio mixer, not too hot on using two different contollers 1 for music/1 for video, especially when im scratching/mixing fast.

I know theres the allen + heath midi mixer but its way out of reach of my budget, just need to come up with something/adaptation of the cross fader on my mixer,

anyone have any ideas/solutions?

It should be possible to use a crossfader as an input for the MB Hardware Platform. Try asking in the forum over at ucapps.de , I'm sure they can help you with this.

I'm not really sure about do you want but...

Do you know the MIXMAN DM2???

It's a toy mixer with crossfader, two decks, 16 pads for sampling, a joy to apply efects and any more bottons...

see at:

I maybe use this one like a midi controller to complement Ms.Pinky...

cheers guys!

mudo - you dont happen to post on vjforums.com - noticed pdoom posting about the dm2, looks very nice.

I thinking of picking one up, but its not the prefect solution in terms of using my audio vestax mixer as the video mixer aswell, will look in2 it more and will contact the guys at ucapps

i know maxi patch mixers video and audio - what i mean is that to mix the video from one turntable to the other you have to use a midi mixer = separate mixer for audio and one for video - not best solution - i want to be able to use my audio vestax mixer to mix the video as well the audio, makes scratching video in out and mixing a lot easier...

offbeat...

Finally I understand your problem and I start to investigate... I 'll design a mixer complements for my behringer dx05 and I improve to mutate this... Your question is very interesting but for just moment I work with DM2.

First I'll learnt the Midi in Maxipatch AV and then I design the need components, then I improve to incorporate to my mixer.

There are some webs with DIY midi components and one of my brothers is projectist delineant and in his work has a friend who works with smd solding (?) components. I hope you understand me...

Anybody wants to colaborate in this project???

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...

Hey mudo, did you ask the guys at ucapps, they have a midification subforum and I'm sure they will be able to help.

Hello,

I have some news!!!

I ask to my brother (it's an Electronic Ingenieran) abaut the crossfader and He said me that there are a kind of crossfader DUAL... It can send two signals; one with VA and another without it

When September comes I go to Electronic Stores and look for this item... then if it fits into vestax (or my Behringer dx05) and works, well... hehe
