Hi! My name is Andrea and I'm a digital-jockeying addicted, so addicted that I joined the DigitalJockey.it team since it was born! Someone might have already seen my name due to some VirtualDJ plugins, even if I like digging into the whole Net, so someone could have seen my nickname somewhere outside this community... I like any kind of electronic music, expecially Techno, Trance, Dance, Hardstyle and all their sub-styles. House styles aren't bad. Among them I prefer Funk, Deep and Tribal house more than other low-quality styles which are so (in)famous these days... I got into the DIY world, and I'm trying to build my own equipment in my (short) free time. As for now, I've built my GPMC (General Purpose MIDI Controller, that toy-like device you can see on the left) which uses a MIDI 1.0 output connection, but I'm redesigning it to support USB connection and a few LEDs (with also I2C and USART ports for add-on boards). I'm an University student trying to become an Embedded Systems Engineer... and I hope to get so far...

Carini questi CD-R in stile vinile venduti da Verbatim. Li ho trovati in fiera dell'elettronica a Cremona. Sarebbe fighissimo usarli come Timecoded-CD, stampando il logo di VDJ :D

Scusate la qualità delle prossime foto ma ho usato l'N70...





Ed ecco un'accoppiata stile Numark Cue:

This is my own MIDI controller!
It's 23.20 and I've just finished to build it!

It works like a charm! About 3 milliseconds between a refresh and another! Far better than my DJC Mk2 (~16ms refresh delay)!

This is the teaser screen from the current alpha. Disabled controls aren't implemented yet.

Hello everyone!
I'm making my own MIDI console to br plugged trough the Joystick/MIDI Port (on soundcards, the yellow one).

It will handle up to 128 buttons and 32 potentiometers.


You can see some photos of the test circuit:

Il mio computer mi è costato 8 anni di attesa. Fino a novembre 2005 ho usato il mio fedelissimo PII 400MHz, con cui ci facevo di tutto. Poi i programmi hanno iniziato a non essere più compatibili, le 3Dfx non andavano più bene, M$ Winzoz 98 SE non era più supportato (ma rimane il migliore). Allora ho deciso i miei di comprare un piccì all'avanguardia...
