Akai AMX is a great backup mixer or for people (like myself) who can't afford beauties like djm-s9 (please, please Santa). AMX lacks few features though: cue point triggering, autoloop controls and control over serato's fx. So I decided to add them.
I needed also a riser stand so I packed it all into one unit.
I followed this tutorial http://djtechtools.com/2015/08/25/how-to-make-your-own-diy-midi-controller/ and http://tomashg.com/?p=1069 (lad is a genius, he was very happy to help and had plenty of patience to answer all of my programming related questions).

Components used:

and some Chroma Caps


The wooden case was made from 8mm thick MDF. The top panel is thinner (4mm).


In the middle of the case I glued three pieces of wood together to lift the AMX.
