Really cool! I wonder where can those backlit potentiometers be found? Any electronics stores on-line who sell them?

Hoo-ray! Can you people now please stop dropping $2500++ on similar bits of kit .. thanks.

Glad to see the Open side of things is now going to force the Closed side to .. actually .. you know .. start *innovating* instead of recycling cheap hardware over and over and over with every ‘new’ iteration ..

This is an awesome design… I want to make this now although I have no need for it; I’m not a DJ.

What was the 2nd song you played there?

For anyone interested in looking at the Gerber files directly, I uploaded them to CircuitPeople. You can see the images here:

I’m wondering, how much would this cost to build?
I have been interested for a while in getting a usb mixer for a while, building one might be much cheaper and better quality than a maudio or similar usb mixer.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while, then gave up and my M-Audio X-Session Pro arrived today. Damn it!

Nice! I was thinking about building something like that, but I’m working on something more for composition than mixing… Maybe I’ll need something like that after :)

I really enjoy seeing open hardware (and their software) projects.
