Has anyone successfully made this work?
I just bought a Numark pt01 scratch and modified it with a dope ass crossfader by jesse dean designs. I am scratching like a fiend and have a little more knowledge on how a cross fader works.
So there is a resister or potentiometer inline that could in theory be adjustable… if we can’t put our minds together and make a video that can successfully demonstrate devons theory than I may open my octatrack up and modify it 
IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!!
yeah, this works well enough. You have to spend all your LFOs on it though.
Sometimes you find a sweet spot, inbetween a & b.
Would be nice to set that position as end or start.
I was under impression OT fader was optical so wouldn’t be a resistor/pot type…
Infinium Optical Crossfader
Interesting idea, but why not just set that sweet spot’s values to a or b on a different scene?
How ?
It’s a manual process, but you could do it by interpolating between the scene A/B values and using those as your scene. Of course, it’d be much easier if it allowed for locking the values at a certain fader position to a scene…
I see what you mean. It would be a little more complicated trying to modify that…
Anyone who thinks this process would be easy. Could you make a video and demonstrate how to Set this up and execute it?
Basically I want to input a turntable to the octatrack and use the octatracks fader to cut and scratch records. With a quick cutoff curve.
Cheers!
That would be fine too!
But…will there be any updates/bugfixes coming for this machine ?
set an LFO (custom) to control input track’s volume (from the env/amp page for post-fader fx) or xlev. Then set all other lfos to modulate the depth the first LFO (again, custom shape).
design the custom LFO to be a very narrow pulse/ramp, shape something like:
use the same shape for all lfo’s
then use a resampling flex machine on another track for capturing/looping your cuts
Simple and clever, thanks
How sharp a cut-in will this method give you? I’d love to use my LFOs for other duties and go with this method instead, but I need a really sharp cut-in (like a few millimeters or so)
With a 9dB curve i hear a faint trace of the infading channel at the first mark of the xfader and have equal loudness in the center. Matter of taste, try different values.
That’s not like a Dj mixer yo! I set up your same set up before. I want from min to max by if not before the first line on the fader. That first dash mark from the off position. Then you can make fast cuts.
So, back to spamming LFOs then…
did you try higher ‘amp vol’ values, as i suggested?
I haven’t done to much testing lately because of work. But I did try higher amp volumes. I did find something that sort of worked?
Could someone else that’s trying to scratch records test this maybe??
I set an lfo to amp volume full on one scene and on the other scene I set xlev to off.
The cut off seems to happen right at the first line on the crossfader??
Maybe there is a better way to do this but this kind of works?!
