So I turned rebuilt my MIDI controller into my old Super Nintendo.

Took a bit of time to do, but I think it looks pretty cool!

Anyone else tried making interesting looking controllers?

It's great as a novelty, but in my opinion, not that great as a proper controller. I can see some of the controls being quite difficult to use quickly

[BOWNSIR]

I can always appreciate a good DIY midi project. What dev board did you use? I like the use of the remote controller as part of the setup.

[Tektonix]

That was pretty fucking awesome man, I really enjoyed the routine as well.

[98 Percent Chimp]

Is that a midi fighter or did you build it from scratch?

Novelty? That is just like a MIDI Fighter, that is pro gear man. What is a proper controller? With controllers you options can spread as far as your imagination. Difficult to use quickly? Well then spend a week learning your way around the controls and how they integrate with the software.

OP enjoy some rep man that is killer, I love it!

Pretty awesome man!

The actual bit on the console is pretty sweet and i can see being pretty easy to use, but a couple times in the mix he uses the controller. Although it's a pretty neat feature, I can't see it being easy to carry on picking up and putting down that little controller.

[fat8ack]

I can't see it being easy

Who ever said this was going to be easy? If you think DJing is based off of how easy things are to do......then you are doing it wrong bro. It is called practice man. :facepalm::shrug:

[jz416]

Super sick man, have you considered selling these?
Contact DJ Tech Tools, if i were them i would agree to sell them through the website.

[Zafire]

:lol: that is sick dude. Decent mix on it too :tup:

Stop twisting my words! :mad:

I meant it can't be easy to carry on picking up and putting down that little controller! I understand you never judge DJing on how easy things are to pick up, but i'm sure you'd rather have something which is easy to use rather than something which is extremely difficult to use.

Not to rain on OPs parade, but the controller looks like a MIDI fighter thrown into a Super Nintendo body. I doubt DJTT would sell it because it doesn't look like it would be very easy to carry around and because it's really just a MIDI fighter.

Aside from that, I think it's a cool concept.

Very individual and very nicely done!! :tup:

[DTR]

I have no idea what I'm looking at (and that music... http://dnbforum.com/images/smilies/new_burn.gif but whatever it is, it looks like you've done a tidy job. Repped :tup:

[TheRabbitMonk]

Impressive. Did it take much work to do something like that?

I find it annoying and very typical that you try and show something on the net in good will and there's always some nob who wants to give you shit. In reference to one of the comments on your vid.

[DjLiquitATL]

yup, looks like a midi fighter built in, dope little setup with the Z2...

[contra]

So what is the controller being used for? Triggering effects?

triggering fx, cues, loops, etc...there are multiple mappings avail on djtt

[DJNR]

Not to mention you could map it yourself.

[Mark_Spit]

Well done and very clean!

I would have liked to see the work done step by step just to see how you wired everything.

Repped!

[mr_ragz]

:lol: that is sick dude. Decent mix on it too :tup:

I second this!

[fatcatdj]

Really cool. Who sez good ol' American ingenuity is gone......wait a minute you're from the f'kin UK. Never mind.
I forgot after they built Wal-Marts here, everyone & everything has gone to sh*t. Nice piece of using low-tech to achieve good results. as for anyone else build a controller? F*** controllers LOL

[Sid Dystic]

looks sick, get into business lol

[Skasja]
