hey gren can you take a photo of the main pcb,,a close up..and i'll see if theres a way to wire a pitch control.

I'm pretty sure it's possible because of the 33 and 45 screw things that alter the speed, I just don't know how

Tis is the dopest shit I ever seen. Imma buy a MPC 1k tomorrow, you think the same trick for ball-less faders would work on a MPC?

gren,,if i had access to your deck and a fader i think i could get it to work...you would have to wire it in between the vr1 and vr2 but without testing it,,i cant tell you wich is wich..can u test them tabs with a multi meter?

edit..the four undernieth.

hey, I noticed your audio cable PCB was mounted inside of your tonearm. Mine isn't, do I go a different way about grounding it? if I was to internally ground that is.

actually forget it, I'm not going to do it if a pitch control cost more than $5 cause thats all I'm willing to spend on that thing. but thanks anyway

wow, thank you for sharing your knowledge. i would love to be able to do this, and to customise mpc's etc.

i've just started studying electronic engineering at university, so hopefully will get somewhere near the skill level your at -in a few years time.

thanks again for this brilliant tutorial Sonseelye

my main goal was to fix the rca cable but while this thing is open i feel like i should do the ground wire. but i have a question about your ground wire mod. i didnt really understand where you soldered the short wire too. alot of people online say to solder it to the right ground of the rca. is there a reason you dindt do it this way? or am i missing something.

yep you missed something
