Try not to flame me when you see how I made a poor man's t-bar controller in my recent YouTube video:


But, it was fun!

Thanks for the videos Tom!
I find though that it doesn't matter the position you use, as the fader toggles in each direction, even when you use 0 position, or 127 position.

ordered a korg mini controller after reading this post to play with, works like a charm (although the mini of course means it's fiddly with big hands)

Another option is the Behringer X-Touch Mini. I really like the size, options, and price.

Here is a quick demo.

i ordered a hercules dj controller as well, it was on sale.
is a slightly bigger unit, sliders are a bit bigger too , but don't feel very solid

it does have a lot of buttons etc, so i might be using it

(jog dial for searching in previewed videofile would be great, but not a feature yet if i read correctly)

hi Tom,

what an inspirational video! so i bought a cheap midi controller and it works as you discribe.

but how do I do what I really want to use it for: pan the x of an input in a multi view, so I can virtually pan and follow a person.

this is what i did: copied the input to a virtual input. put that input in an overlay.

added a midi controller key like in your video, but set the set pan x to controll the virtual input.

but when i move the midi slider i get a black screen because the input disapears only to reapear at the far end left or right.

i want it to work like i control the pan x slider in the overlay control.

any ideas?

stefan

ps bought a simple dj tech djm 101 for about 18 euros include tax and shipping. just for the pan x control...

Stefan,
I think that might be a bug, tried something similar - see my other post on this.

In the documentation I found this:

SetPanX
Change current PanX value of Input.

0=centered, -2=100% to left, 2=100% to right

so I guess no error, but maybe the midi slider output should be translated to these input values.

how can we get a midi slider to work like the transition, Marttin?

I think I do the same with my midi controller and am successful (zoom and pan with sliders without issue, other than the overlay doesn't behave as I expected)
