DJ Tech Tools "Chroma Caps" on the TTM57

Kadilac 6:13 AM - 25 January, 2012
Here is a pretty crappy video I did on the caps not fitting as advertised.

Lame. Maybe it's a 57 generational issue as you'd hope they would have actually tested them...
Kadilac 6:42 AM - 25 January, 2012
Yea...I sent this vid to Ean...I know he's cool people and the quality is good...but they just didn't fit. Somebody asked how were they on a different thread, so I thought I would post this just FYI.

That site is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooWAKTOR heavy, it makes me sick.

DJTT is a good site. but yeah, most of their djs use Traktor.. so what.. still lots of good info.

I got some of the fader caps, which are supposed to fit on the Twitch. They do fit but they're kind of loose, which means sometimes they drag along the surface of the controller.

I admire DJTT for trying to improve on what's out there, but I just think knobs and faders are so non-standard on DJ gear that they're on a pointless mission with these.

Have you tried the toilet paper trick Bob? Put some on the stem and wedge the fader cap on afterwards? Usually helps get them snug
phatbob 11:37 AM - 26 January, 2012
Yeah thought about it, but being fader caps, I promptly lost them after taking them off.

Might give that a go when I come across them in the house again...

@ :10, you said... "They feel reaLLy good, reaLLy sticky, reaLLy rubbery." LoL! (nm)

I bought a few of those fader caps in the Black color for my TTM57 and they seem to fit pretty decently. I only replaced certain knobs that I use most often on my mixer.

Yeah I asked on a different tread, been thinking about fitting a few on my 68.
Did you also try P1/P2 ? Same result there?
Thanks Warp.
monkeyfunk 12:52 PM - 14 February, 2012
Hi did anyone else have this problem, or did it get fixed ? Big fan of Ean, would love to replace the knobs on the TTM57.

Kadilac, checked out your other vids, that Stephen Marley wasn't on my radar, sure is now !
str8nger 8:41 PM - 14 February, 2012
I am interested as well, I would love the bright green ones
dead serious 11:23 PM - 14 February, 2012

Kadilac 11:29 PM - 19 February, 2012
I'm gonna do a follow up soon...
monkeyfunk 11:32 AM - 20 February, 2012
Kadilac please do, ready to order but won't until I've heard they fit...
str8nger 5:06 PM - 20 February, 2012
Yea I would like to see too
monkeyfunk 8:38 AM - 29 February, 2012
OK, well I'm going to go ahead and order them.
WarpNote 8:51 AM - 29 February, 2012
monkeyfunk,
if you get a chance to try the small chroma cap knobs on the 68 library scroll pots,
please let me know.
Thanks, Warp

I have a bag of white knobs I never used.
str8nger 2:49 PM - 29 February, 2012
i guess no one has really answered the question lol ? do the knobs fit on the ttm57 ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
lvmez 3:26 PM - 29 February, 2012
NOOOOOO. that's why I have a bag of white knobs. they are too tight.
str8nger 3:28 PM - 29 February, 2012
That sucks butt! I was hella juiced when I saw the purple ones and pink ones. :(
HYDRO MATIC 3:51 PM - 29 February, 2012
one word fellas...

NAIL POLISH!

I Did this to mine and it worked perfect after the clear coat. (actualy had the chick do it but whatever)

Adding glow n the dark paint this week to one to try it out.
str8nger 4:31 PM - 29 February, 2012
We want to see!!! Put pics or video!!! Please. I was actually thinking about painting mine lol
sacrilicious 5:16 PM - 29 February, 2012
Interesting idea...if I stay with the 57 the nail polish knobs and custom faceplate will give it some new visual life.
Musically Minded 5:18 PM - 29 February, 2012
any one know if the fit the Rane 62 mixer?

Kadilac 3:24 AM - 25 May, 2012

sorry Kadilac. but those things looks ridiculos ugly. im sorry man, waste of time.
Kadilac 3:55 AM - 26 May, 2012
I agree!!
LMAO...
The tradeoff is they FEEL so much better than my worn 57 knobs.
Dj AR1 4:16 AM - 26 May, 2012
I Rather get the original ones. Nothing cant. B better then dat.
str8nger 3:07 PM - 26 May, 2012
They look nice on other controllers but dam they don't look good on the ttm57. It's like having a Honda and slapping 22" Rims on it

U r just right bout dat.
Kadilac 7:54 PM - 29 May, 2012
Yes, i mentioned that I was not a fan of the color,
however, after 3 years, the residue from fingers
caused the grippy texture to decrease on my original knobs.
These feel 200% better and are also 200% more visible.
I may exchange these for black, which should not look bad imo.
Joshua Carl 10:02 PM - 29 May, 2012
