I want a jog wheel like Pioneer CDJ100,200 etc. and pitch slider and also 6 buttons for Play, Cue,Track Search and Search .Please help me what kind of stuff I have to use for jog wheel encoder or other stuff?

welcome to the forum!  :slight_smile:

first of all: midibox is DIY. DIY is do it yourself

You have to read a lot. you have to read ucapps.de and you have to use the search-function of the forum.

I think MTE has already build a Traktor-midi-controller.

Everythings there you just have to read.

I want to motorize the pitch slider.I want one knob when I push it the pitch slider come to original 0 % like a Technics sl1210 Mk5.So help me what I have to use for pitch slider encoder or POT?

and did you someone know program that emulates the CUE function in all CDJ players?I like this http://filexoom.com/files/2006/10/30/41274/Pioneer%20CDJ%20series%20CUE.mp3.Traktor dosen’t emulate this CUE function :(.

This Function is available at Traktor ( CD-Mode ) but it works only with the mouse :frowning: … if you scratch the mouse over the Track and hold it.

I forced long time to implement this to my controller but i havent found any solution till yet :frowning:

That is really cool feature, but using Alps motorfaders just to zero pitch is maybe too fancy, if you ask me. They are not cheap, and you wouldnt really use more than 5% of its potential.  :-\ If only Panasonic motorfaders are still available, it would be good idea.  :wink:

is pitching with an encoder to weird for DJ’s?

with the led’s you can easily jump, with a motorfader it’s a bit tricky’er right?
