The links at the bottom point only to pages of the antique 5-pins DIN connector (for 32kbit/sec), and the datasheet says “Standard MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports”, which I take to mean those same DIN connectors. USB is not even mentioned.

If you use the correct type of joystick, that is: one which uses potentiometers for control, instead of the more customary gaming joysticks based on microswitches, then it should be rather trivial to replace a plain crossfader potentiometer with one.

There’s one possible snag: a joystick usually uses only a small range from the potentiometer, and not the full range. That might be solved by proper configuration of the midi interface, but I’m not sure.

I have been thinking about a possible use of the 2-d nature of a joystick. With the vertical movement you could control global gain, thereby interactively changing the crossfade “curve”, by moving the joystick in an arc, instead of in a straight line.

So these DIY topics are extremely interesting. The only aspect I don’t know a lot about is PCB boards. Is there any chance of making a post about those? I currently have absolutely no idea which PCB I should choose.
Or are there already some forum topics about that? Because I haven’t checked for those ones yet…

The APC80!

The APC40 can be used in Traktor for instance and the APC20 in Ableton.

Or both in Ableton…or both in Traktor.

Clear buttons…multi colored LEDs…lots of faders…lots of knobs…

😉
