Hi guys, I have now completed my project Below is a link to the project http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Build-A-Dj-MIDI-Controller/ so feel free to have a look and let me know what you think. Enjoy =) \:D/ =D>

Hi Guys, Just thoiught i should let everyone know that i have almost finished my project. I am just waiting on the top peice for the box, then i should be finished. I am unsure on how to post pictures ( i will try any way), but i will be writing a blog for instructions if anyone wants to have a look at it. The hardware that i used in the end was the livid brain, and have spent more than $500 on this specific project. I have made a board with a 4x4 button pad, another board with a set of 2x4 buttons with 4 knobs and 4 encoder knobs and a board with 4 sliders and 8 knobs. if the photo below works, it is everything without the case

I was just wondering, in my design i want a put a logo that lights up when i turn it on. Do you know if there is anyway to do this on the livid brain? I would be awesome if i can do it. My designs are starting to look good now, and hopefully i will be ordering parts soon as well. when i desing the face plate on the computer i will post it up. this might be a while cheers for all the feed back so far.

Cheers wazza, i really like the idea of this im not sure if i can do this as a school project, but i will certainly ask just one question, does is configure to Traktor? this would be awesome

I was just wondering, from SourceRaver's idea of the ps3 controller, do you think that two joy stick would work as a mini jog wheel? i already have jog wheels on my mixtrack, but i thought it might be cool to put something into my design that is simple to use and just there incase. My idea so far is to make a beat grid or synth pad or what ever you want to call them ( like the Midi fighter), some pitch benders, a couple of fx knobs, etc cheers

The tilt triggers sound like an awesome idea. The point of my project is to design it from scratch. Although a ps3 contoller sounds cool I don't think I can do that. I actually have to write a manual as part of the process so that others could use it and make there own. I think that from what i have heard, Arduino is the best option for me to program it with. The massive stomp pads sound good, but I think if I put them into the design they might have to be small stomp pads. Cheers for all the ideas. Keep them coming

from what i have heard, jog wheels are quite had to put into a project I have a controller already (numark Mixtrak pro), which has two decks so i kind of want to make something that has different functions to what i already have

Hi, I am doing a school project where i have to design and build a Dj MIDI controller. Can i have some ideas on what i should Include in the design, and some ideas on how to possibly build one. i have had a browse around and have found a couple of good website on how to design and build certain types, but i want mine to be different and my own, if you know what i mean. Cheers Deej
