Jaz Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Was wondering, does this already exist or would it be possible to make an External Hot Cue Pad to plug into the USB port on either the top or back of a CDJ to work exactly like 1000's and 2000's hot cue's?So many whales would buy this i reconpretty much this, wicked paint skills i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 maybe it will work...by usb into the p.c input by HID miditake a lot of $$$ and time to make it worka better way would be to use a laptop into the CDJ pc input by HID midi ( no time code needed ) and get a set off novation dicers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 yer i think pioneer missed a trick when they replaced hot cues with auto loops.novation dicer FTW in this scenario.-would be good to have a standalone unit without the need for a laptop tho, good thinking djaz.

Jaz Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 yeh that was my main concern, needing a laptop and software...i want it to be completely reliant on the CDJ though...o well i doubt i could built 1 hahaand Dim, its all marketing man, it makes people buy the cdj2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 novation dicer is all over thisbut it requires the use of traktor or serato, i am talking about 1 for use via the CDJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 dont even know how it works but im just having a random stab. maybe you can mod the firmware update it. have some kind of "shift" button and then press it for hot cues, or the other way around but then again you would need to do heaps of shit to doso. but worth a look at if you can view the code and have a mate that can do it.

lloydc Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 the time and money vested in making one of these could buy many cdj2000s.good idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 How about this, install cdj2000 firmware on a cdj 850 and it will think it has hot cue's, then either program the external pad in or maybe it will just think the auto loops on the left are hot cue buttons...Thoughts?

dim Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 fuk knows.good idea is good idea tho. Write it up and send to pioneer as a suggestion but also send a copy to yourself. DO NOT OPEN YOUR COPY, keep it somewhere safe and the postmark on it will act as proof of when you offered the idea out... that way if they ever do release it without admitting you came up with it you'll have a point to make in court if you want to take it that far. It may not mean shit and it may not be worth shit but as far as i know that's the most you can do without getting investment and trying to DIY it.Of course, this doesnt guarantee they havent already thought of it but not put it into production yet.

dim Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 ^thinking about this wasnt it fabdj who said he had done a bit f name copyrighting? not sure if he was joking but one thing 4 sure: there be other people who know a lot more than me.

Jaz Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 cheers dim, but i doubt pioneer would want to build 1 as it would make there marketing pointless, if people can just buy a hot cue pad everyone would just get 900's instead of the much more expensive 2000 hahao well, maybe in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
