DIY: Innofader PNP + Traktor Kontrol Z2 Mixer/Controller Installation Video

www.djbooth.net...
www.innofader.com
For the past few years, there's been one DJ crossfader on the market that seems to rise above the competition. The Innofader is a durable and highly customizable fader that can be purchased and installed to upgrade your current crossfader or linefaders found on a DJ Mixer or DJ Controller. The Innofader can work with many different mixers or controllers and can be adjusted in many different ways so the DJ gets a seriously customized feel to suit his/her fader-needs. Users can adjust the tension, the cut-in distance, and the sharpness of the curve on the Innofader. The Innofader comes in many different models such as the Innobender and the Innofader PNP which work with various styles of DJ Mixers and Controllers. Audio Innovative was gracious enough to send me a new Innofader PNP to show the masses just how easy it is to install inside the all new Traktor Kontrol Z2. Check out the DIY video and the link at the top of the description for more information.

    Just heard that someone took the tensioner out the line faders so they are not as stiff

    So it will work with the mixers built in switch? Do you recalibrate it in traktor? Or on the fader it's self. Sorry for all the questions!!

    Kareem, I got the Innobender which is the PNP type. Put it into my Stanton m207 but I did notice that it wasnt working out of the box until I did the calibration they mentioned. Once I did that, the cut in at 1mm all worked but....my curve control on the unit doesnt work anymore. ideas?

    +DJ BENNY electronics works with so little current (besides, surely DC instead of AC). 220V (actually 230 since some years ago because Europe standardization) is transformed inside to another lower current (the same worldwide). No need to worry about that

    Does Z2 comes out with innofaders? Amazon told that ' The Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer provides a heavy metal, standard installation-height chassis, sturdy RGB control buttons, and Innofaders for rock-solid dependability.'

    I believe the mini has no curve adjustment, but you'd need to check the website - innofader.com - they will also be able to advise whether or not you can use as line faders - they need to be modded often to work this way in many mixers I read

Now my next question is: If I replace the stock crossfader with the Innofader PNP, would the curve contour knob on the mixer still work or is the setting on the Innofader PNP fixed? I noticed you said you had to make adjustments before sealing the mixer back after the swap...thanks man!

  • @Ninja_Gaijin

    @Ninja_Gaijin

    5 жыл бұрын

    cut in should be a short lag - you should on a sharp curve setting have very little room from closed to open sound in the fader. So you move your finger a hair and it opens the fader. Tension is personal, but it should be 'buttery smooth'. You can go too tight or too loose with these easily, you need to find your own sweet spot. I aim personally for some tension so if you hit it, it doesn't fly to the other side all the way and rebound back a bit, but not too much so it can still fly half the fader length or so when you flick it.

    hi nice vid bro.. ok.. The Full Size Innofader PNP can be adjusted for tension, curve, and cut in.. tension yes, but cut and curve? as i know when we plug our Z2 to TSP they work internally, so the cut n curve programmed by software is'n it? or not?

  • @RealDJblaze

    It is, but then you can fine-tune it to make the cut in and curve even more custom and more direct to your touch or response. You can really dial in the PNP with the Z2, much more so than the mini innofader.

    ***** I don't need to do research on the Innofader. I bought my Innofader from the very first batch of innofaders 4 years ago and put it into my Audio Innovate AEM 100 replacing the PRO X FADE. Then bought the TTM57 bracket and put into that. Doesn't the innofader mini have tension adjust ? It Just doesn't seem like that great of a cost < benifit addition since the innofader mini is super sharp to begin with and I'm sure it has contour adjustment.

    This comes with three MINI-Innofaders that do not have all of the same features as the Innofader PNP which was installed. You can see the size difference in the faders when I remove them. The PNP fader gives the option to manually adjust the curve, the cut-in, and the Tension (tightness) feel of the fader while the Mini alters curve and cut in in different increments and doesn't have the tightness function at all...
