I am really starting to enjoy VJing. I just bought a little 30 usd guitar pedal case which perfectly fits all my stuff. I still want to do a few things
- Replace the power pack with a 2nd N8 (smaller, more reliable with AV famicoms) and have the powerpack as a backup.
- Get 2 of these so I can see the previewscreen more clearly and have a permanant "output" monitor
- make a little stand for the monitors to mount them at the back of the V4
- get a fader style controller for the V4, i know im going to snap the handle my accident some day.
- organize the power cable birds nest a bit more neatly.

Tempted to say you should use an Advantage controller so all you have to do is flip a switch to change controller ports (controller port 1 on Advantage out to Toploader #1, controller port 2 on Advantage out to Toploader #2). Not sure what graphics software you are using, but the variable-pot turbo on the Advantage may be cool to... take advantage of. How are you choosing to drive video out from the Toploaders? It's rare seeing them use something other than coax.
Very cool rig, btw

the crossfader is well worth it, surprised so few people seem to buy it

It seems dead cheap too! I am still thinking about the best way to mount the screens.

Thanks! I wouldn't use the Advantage for a few reasons, its big and heavy and the box for my rig is small and hopefully light, also the advantage takes up a fair chunk of table space and you cant control 2 units at the same time which is handy for VJing. Also the advantage is tricky to use one handed without a table!
The toploaders are AV famicoms which all output composite from the Nintendo proprietary cable.

Maybe You can hookup one pad controller to two nes'es?

Maybe just have a toggle switch that drops the data pin from one input to the other?

That's really cool, didn't think much about how much space that would actually take up. Good to see you are valuing ease-of-use over "coolness" factor (while still being cool). Perhaps an Advantage would be fun to have at home

The current live setup for lsdj.I might do another one with ableton/nanoloop sync.

Hey thought I'd add my (partial) gear pic. Though can't really photograph all the SNES sample libraries I use. Tascam 4-track and VSS-30 are missing in the photo. Guess I'm kinda traditional in that I track using MIDI and multitrack audio.
Second post yay.
