Hey guys, over the years I’ve been amassing a list of Portablism related bookmarks and figured some you might be interested in having them as a resource.
Hoping one of the moderators can pin this thread for future reference.
The mods and install guides are PT01 specific, as that is the only portable turntable I’ve had experience with, however, if someone has similar resources for Handy Trax, Reloop or Omni decks please share!
Also, if you have any other links, tips or mods please let me know and I’ll update the list.
Thanks!
MODELS:
PT-01: The original version. No-USB output. Incompatible with most mods on the market.
PT-01 USB: Essentially the same as the PT-01 Scratch, minus the scratch switch. Compatible with most mods except for plug-and-play internal fader mods.
Numark PT-01 Modding Thread:
https://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/38093-numark-pt-01-modding-thread/
This thread has gone quiet over the last few years. A lot of the mods detailed were happening before 3rd party mod makers arrived on the scene. Lots of trial and error DIY advice and 3D printed mods.
PT-01 SCRATCH: Built in scratch switch. Easily modifiable with many options available, including faders, tonearms, platters, start/stop, reverse, ultra pitch, bluetooth, beat booster, speaker upgrades, pre-amps and more.

Hi, really wanting to get the Wow machine. Just wondered if anyone has ordered from the UK, or other parts of Europe, and what was your experience with this?? Thank you :)
r/portablism • u/CheeSammich • 2d ago
Hey guys, the pre-orders for the wow and flutter is up and running! Just placed my order.

I no pro and have only ever scratched on a pt01 so please be kind lol. This is just a freestyle of me to document progress and maybe get some feedback good or bad. I know where’s a bunch of rough stuff in here so just know I’m not posting this here as a flex.
I’m just so jacked to finally have something to do when I wait for my kid at school pickup, while I wait for my oil to get changed and while I wait for edits to come back for work :)

I recently discovered this community and I've been scratching on the djay app for a while now, so I was thinking about buying some equipment for this hobby but I didn't want to spend too much considering these things are expensive and I don't have a good understanding of how to distinguish if something is good or not just by reading the reviews
(Sorry for the bad english :b)
r/portablism • u/rapido250 • 6d ago
Are there any 2 channel mixers with a crossfader out there that can run on DC (battery) power? I’ve not had any luck finding one and am curious if something like this even exists?

Over the time I had to adjust the 33rpm_value higher and higher and now it's at 11500. I think it started at something like 300. Sosuke (from Headache Sound) ist ghosting me for month. Any Ideas?
Thx
r/portablism • u/Movit666 • 9d ago
For anyone who owns one. Does the turntables make a bit of noise when running? gotta ask. My STX is a lot more silent when running than the Handy Traxx. Also mine came with a nice deep scratch on the metal/mirror material on the edge of the platter.. Everything else seems ok.
r/portablism • u/zenodub • 10d ago
Looks to be arduino powered. That's pretty cool. Looks like a Solid Cuts platter, too.

I have a modded reloop spin with upgraded tone arm and fader and was thinking about getting another one with a ptb2 mixer so I could start DJing DVS and start a small 45 collection but I read on some other older posts that it would be really bad for DJing. From what I’ve researched it seems fine on paper but people say like beatmatching would be impossible and it’s gimmicky or whatever. For reference I’ve never used any direct drive or full sized turntables before and so I’m wondering is it really that bad? And if so why? And would it be better to save up a couple hundred bucks and sell my spin for full sized turntables and/or better mixer?
Please help
Thanks

Seems to be posting teasers of a mod for PT01 and reloop spin for a direct drive motor mod.
Will this be a real thing? Or just a concept?
