Open the PT-01
Remove all of the screws from the bottom of the PT-01, and lift the top section off. Unplug the black ribbon cable linking the top and bottom sections.
Board placement
Probably the best place for the nanofader board is next to the power supply board : (TODO : GET IMAGE)
Don't secure the board to the pt-01 case until you have connected and tested everything.
Unscrew the main board
The main board is located in the top section, and looks like this :
Unscrew the four screws holding it to the case, and flip it over so you can access the underside. You'll probably have to remove a lot of hot glue to get enough slack on the cables.
Remove C8 and C18
Locate capacitors C8 and C18, which are towards the top left of the board (in the above picture). Desolder and remove them, like so :
Replace C8 and C18 with wires
The capacitors need to be replaced with wires that connect to the nanofader board. The connections should be made as follows :
Use one short cable for the AUDIO IN L/R connections, and another short cable for the AUDIO OUT L/R connections, like so :
The ground should only be connected at the nanofader end.
You can now screw the main board back in.
Power Connection
The power PCB is found in the lower section of the pt-01. We are going to disable the (pointless) USB board and use its power connection :
Cut the USB power cable down to about 10cm or so and strip the ends.
AUX IN connection
We can also hijack the USB board's AUX IN connector. The pinout of the connector is as follows : (TODO : GET IMAGE)
Solder a longer length of audio cable to the underside of the USB board like so : (TODO : GET IMAGE)
Fader connections
If you got a fader from me, you can ignore this section.
Carbon-track faders
If you have a carbon-track based fader (Vestax PCV, Penny & Giles, Pro-X-Fade), you only need two wires - one for the terminal(s), one for the wiper. If you want dual-sided cut, connect BOTH terminals together.
The terminal(s) connect to the ground or "G" pin of the nanofader "FADER" connector, and the wiper connects to the "W" pin.
Vestax PCV
The pinout of the vestax PCV is as follows :
You can use either CH1 or CH2. So for example, connect "CH1 TERMINAL1" and "CH1 TERMINAL2" to the ground or "G" pin of the nanofader "FADER" connector, and connect "CH1 WIPER" to the "W" pin.
Innofader
All innofader varieties work
