Circuit bending is just mindless pecking and shorting with a speaker hooked up to the circuit.

The guy knew what he wanted(non-linear fade), understood how it all worked(the VCA fader), and implemented a solution by using actual electronics know-how.

Calling this “circuit bending” is an insult to this guy and his equipment.

I used to DJ and crossfader curve adjustment is something that separated decent mixers from some of the really expensive ones. Different music styles require different characteristics. For example, scratching hip-hop is very different than trying to get that perfect, smooth trance transition. He should sell this as a drop-in solution for DJ’s who know what they want as end-users but aren’t quite ready to hack their expensive equipment. Crossfaders are setup to be user-replaceable, so this would be no problem for most DJ’s who have/will have to make a replacement at some point anyway.

Who are you kidding? Circuit bending is what Reed Ghazala does. Lots of people just mess with circuits and call it bending, really they’re just breaking stuff. This is just modification/repair… = ) cause i guess some crossfaders are just factory broken and need fixed

if you haven’t done this mod or a similar version (say you want complete/on off with no curve) in the past then you’re not a real dj.

its all about that character building
