DJ and performance controllers

Build a hands-on control surface. MIDI controls still need compatible host software and mappings.

Traktorino

A MIDI control surface for compatible DJ software, not an audio interface or standalone DJ player.

Documented controller with legacy setup

A documented custom DJ-control route with PCB and enclosure files, but the legacy USB firmware and current host mappings need proving before a complete build.

No purchasable complete kit or verified regional BOM total. Cost must include PCB/enclosure fabrication and any paid host software.

Fliper-2 arcade MIDI controller

Twelve arcade buttons and four potentiometers send control information to host software. It is not a complete DJ deck or audio interface.

Documented MIDI performance controller

A concrete arcade-button controller with source code and fabrication files. Confirm the Pro Micro variant and host mapping before turning it into a finished performance device.

The source shopping links do not establish a current UK/US complete basket. Confirm exact board and button variants, fabrication, delivery and software costs.
