This is a quick guide to connecting a fader to the nanofader circuit.
Contents
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 "G" pin of the nanofader "FADER" connector, and connect "CH1 WIPER" to the "W" pin.
Pro-X-Fade
(TODO : write this section)
Innofader
All Innofader varieties work reasonably well, but they require power so three wires will be required.
OEM Mini Innofader
The cheapest Innofader is the model sold directly to equipment manufacturers, and can be obtainable as a spare part or upgrade for various mixers (e.g. various reloop mixers, DJTech DIF-1S, Native Instruments Z2). The pinout of the OEM Mini Innofader is :
The wiring is as follows :
GND - Wire to "G" (ground) pin on nanofader "FADER" connector
VCA2 - Do not connect
VCA1 - Wire to "W" (wiper) pin on nanofader "FADER" connector
V+ - Wire to "+" (supply) pin on nanofader "FADER" connector
Mini Innofader PNP P
Probably the best way to wire up the Mini Innofader PNP P is to extend the supplied "3-pin large cable", which has the same pinout as the nanofader "FADER" connector. Just remember to do a polarity check first, as described in the Mini Innofader manual.
Innofader PNP
Probably the best way to wire up the Innofader PNP is to extend the supplied "3-pin small cable", which has the same pinout as the nanofader "FADER" connector. Just remember to do a polarity check first, as described in the Innofader PNP manual.
