Penny & Giles PGFM 3000 Faders For MF Module

MIDIbox HUIs

I noticed these don’t mention having a Coreless Motor like the 3200 Series and was wondering if this may be qualified for the MF Module???

I am currently COnstructing a 32 Channel MBLC with a MB64 To map additional FUnctions in Logic 8.

I have owned a MCU and a SAC 2K. They were nice, but I didnt like the space they took up, nor the overall design of either unit. I decided to build my own to my specs for my style of Mixing.

This site is a God-Send

Thanks for any replies

… you have to try. There is also a higher quality coreless Alps Model, TK was testing and he was getting bad results.

(watch out: TK mixed up the pics and names for the “CP” and “W” K-Type faders)

I just received 3 samples of P&G’s newest lower cost fader (commercially not available yet).

It feels nice and solid (same construction like Alps i.e. rubber belt not nylon string).

I didn’t find time to test it with the MF board yet. I will post the exact type/name later here in this mail.

Figured as much. LOL. I am checking to get my hands on one to test. I am also confirming that it DOESNT not have a coreless motor…

Let me know on the the new PG you are tesing with series #. Perhaps I’ll wait a month???

Learning more here…

Addendum.. If I can get my hands on a PGFM 8000 with iron core motor, I’ll test it as well.

These Motors are rated at 7.4v iron-core, Which seems in line with the 7.5v ALPS that are qualified.

Wowsers, I just got word that the better P & G motor faders are $100 each unless I want to buy 100+ of them and then it will be $85.  Ouch.  Guess I’ll stick with Alps then unless somebody here has a better source…

Anybody else currently working with motor faders?
