I'm at the moment working on a couple of really compact mixer solutions to be used with the DJC.
But, i also want to be able to use it with my standard 10" mixer. The DJC actually have most of the player functionality that i need, i just want to be able to operate it in a more professional way.
Sure, i would love to have a couple of XP10s but i already have the DJC and if i spend that kind of money i want to be able to use it with other software also.
So this is what i'm planning to build:
DJConsole Remote Controller:
---------------------------
- Replace the crossfader with some resistors or a small trim potentiometer hidden in the DJC.
- In smallest possible box add a numeric keypad.
- Remove the Pitch faders from the DJC and put one on each side of the keypad.
- Arrange so that i can fix the box in front of my 10" mixer and controll the players from it.

And as a bonus there will be a lot of free buttons to controll other features of VDJ from it. Loops, effects or whatever you want.

Sounds great Pern,
I've found something on the internet while i was browsing on images of virtual dj.

Can't wait 2 c what u r building and maybe you can write a tutorial (how-to).
I think it would help lots of hercules console owners.

I'm working a lot to test how far i can take the DJ Console regarding usability without building a new MIDI controller.
This since i really like the DJC concept. Only wish there have been 2 models, the current and a PRO version. I would be happy to pay another $100 to get a better version of DJC. It would still be cheap.
After that i will start on looking at building a MIDI controller (Like your link). MIDIbox is really popular to use as a base for this in the Traktor DJ Studio DIY community.
Here is an great example of what you can do with that:

Not sure yet if i will base it on MIDIbox or write my own software.
And yes, everything i do will be published in full on the net someware. With schematic etc.
