- The Vestax Samurai was a range of weird and wonderful DJ mixers from Vestax. Join me as I tear one down, reverse engineer it, and modify it to be a lot more useful!

10:52 “actually that gives me an idea” 😂 bro you’re f’ing hilarious. Keep making videos I can easily see you making a living off these videos. You’re quite good at then and inspiring me to do more narration
Brother you deserve to make a living doing this. Thorough, entertaining and useful beyond words to us nerds and important to preserve the culture. Big respect.
Thank You Ras For All You Do For Us!!!!!!!
I actually like the reverse engineering part the best.
The example of mods you made is how this mixer should've arrived in the first place.
what an awesome video. learned so much about vestax!!
Amazing work! Waiting for Ecler's Eternal fader review ;)
This is outstanding. Will Ronin firmware works with 05 Samurai?
Thank You for sharing
Dude, you are a madman. I was super surprised by the fader. I have a mint 07 Samurai I bought for basically nothing because pawn shops love to think every device ever made is powered by DC. Thanks for this man, seriously! Very funny too. Oh, shoutout to Backtrack, I was one of the first people to buy his original PDX Midi Mod.
Finding this channel rather late in the game.... love these analytical tear downs
10:53 now you are speaking my language 😎👍🤣
Hahah same
very nice video, got to have balls to do that soldering. you make it look pretty easy.
Oh man i got other vestax mixer i never knew that this mixer had that button to cheat 😂😂😂😂 OMG i use my finger to do all those tricks you did while you just move the cross fader only n it do. those tricks 😂😂😂😂 it took me years of practice to fo those tricks 😂but is a beautiful DJ mixer i never noticed this i never did my review on this mixer cuz I changed to other mixer through out the years i got all my vestax gold plate as part of my collection thank you for the review
This blew my mind several times over, thanks for breaking all this down and sharing. The fader patterns visualized as data in the hex editor were beautiful in a way, especially that weird one they threw in there. The whole thing was really inventive and inspiring
The "Pattern Poster" its GREAT!!! :D and the S0S signal too!!! I really enjoyed this video. Any chance to get the firmware from the pdx2000mk2?? :) . Cheeeeers.
@@GroundBeatDe yeah I got firmware from most PDX revisions, email me
I extremely enjoyed your video!!! big love from japan!
Bro can u trick out my vestax pmc 06 with the mods explained.. but mostly need a denon ds1 installed or sl2.... please let me know thanks
Is there anything you've done with the vmc 004 xlu? I recently got one and would like to update it a little as the xfade is dead (as per the usual)
Another very entertaining video, thanks!
Impressive knowledge and mods , I never knew about that quad cut feature what in the fuck, nightmare thats scary what you could not learn haha, its just too easy
That's fgn incredible! Brilliant Job!
can you please do a video or show us some informations for replace cross faders and put "rotary" ,input rotary knob vestax mixer pmc 170a
BIG THANKS
why does the TTM 56 fader open the first low sound so that it reaches 100%? I would like it to be turned off to turned on
RASTERI, THE DJ MAD SCIENTIST! This is the first time I watched ONE video from a Tuber and SUBSCRIBED instantly.
Wow. In depth and very accurate description of every step. Thank you for this
I wanted this mixer so bad as kid 😅
love your videos, keep it up
Build me a mixer. Ill send you what I want
dope!
Awesome Video!
Great writin and pacing, well researched and delivered! SUBSCRIBED!
So how do I purchase one of these mods for an 05
I have a pair of Numark tt500 turntables ,both faders have gone daft on them , is there anyway of replacing the slide faders with rotary faders (think rotary faders would look very cool on a turntable_
For my 06 replacing the caps with 47nF was fine. Using smaller left a small pop. So I think that will work for both 05 and 06
Wow amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤟
Have you ever gigged ?
Stellar work!
there was a good reason Vestax disappeared. RANE TTM52 was issued.
dude this is AWESOME
Great video! It's fantastic that you are still talking about faders, and even reverse engineering them! Thanks also for all the historic information, that sadly i'm too young to know by experience, that was gold for me! But.. Is there a place to discuss and share info about techincal stuff about mixers and DJ gear? Like an IRC, Telegram or something?
Bought the pitch mod of backtrack, super cool, shoutout to him!
Man i thought I knew a lot about these mixers. Ive been modding them since i was a teen. Your taking me to school today. love it great information!!
Just stumbled upon your channel.
Big fan of retro DJ gear.
Brilliant video 👍
very informative vid! thanks for sharing that knowledge...god I love vestax!!
Hi there, I've just started learning some scratching and also have also started to get interested in electronics and hardware hacking. So really enjoying your videos!
Do you know if there is a way to mod a vestax PDX D3S to do ultra pitch (+-50%)?
no idea - never messed with the d3s
@@TheRasteri coolcool. thanks for the great videos!
So with the upgrades and mods does it mean it's now a Vestax Shogun? 😆
This is a cool video. Never been into scratching but it's cool to see how it works.
Absolutely first class video! I’m interested in trying some of these mods on my 05 but I’m a little nervous as I’d rather not pooch up a 15 year old antique and I’ve never even done anything like this.
FRESH!!!
Great video! I'm not into DJ scratching and whatnot but super interesting either way.
WOW you are like a Shaolin master but then with mixers.
Great stuff !
Bought me a NM 07 pro in clean box recently and put an innopro2 in it. A beast
haha, cutting with the adjustable spanner gave me a good chuckle. cheers.
this is insane. mad props
WOW!!!!!
I have a vestax pmc 06 pro looking to install denon ds1 can you help?
You truly are a G. Thanks for your implication.
Brilliant. And the Morse Code. Haha!
Firmware? wtf
Witch craft !
Amazing channel!
Very interesting!
Very entertaining and detailed!
heat
Can you please do a focus fader review
I'm actually planning to!
@@TheRasteri I have a question about your final scratch video. I would love to know. If the current traktor scratch pro 3 is still running old final scratch code? Nobody seems to know.
@@CarlosMunoz1980 nah it's a totally new code. even the earlier traktor scratch
mk1 timecode was different from finalscratch (2000hz instead of 1200)
@@TheRasteri ahhh I see. What about traktor pro 2 and traktor pro 3. To me it seems like just a new paint job and some minor tweaks and features. Sorry to bother. I love and still use traktor. But am a little disappointed how NI have neglected it’s user base. Serato rekordbox and even Djay pro have surpassed them in many ways.
@@CarlosMunoz1980 yeah NI don't seem to care about traktor anymore... I'm looking at serato options
Ras is that my old 07 there?
Yes it is!! Still going strong mate :)
@@TheRasteri Excellent! :)
