My PT01 Scratch Episode 1 - Introduction and review 

You gonna be so hooked! I got my PT01 a little over a year ago and I’ve been slowly modding it since. 1: Put in the Jessie Dean tonarm 2: installed a Start/stop button 3: changed out to lithium battery with battery housing. 4: Changed the platter to the more stable aluminum version 5: Did the belt tighten mod using the band I am more than happy with these mods. I choose to do an ortofon housing because I still had about 4 needles left over from my Tech 12’s. I also opted not to change out the factory “fader” because I like the “switch” feel. And besides, I could always add an external portable fader or portable mixer with a real fader. Or just a mixer with a fader. I was going to put a strobe light on just for the look of it but I noticed that it would interfere with me playing 10” and 12” records.(I’ve discovered that playing 12” is difficult with my start/stop button being slightly raised and in the way). Then I thought to myself, am I really going to play anything other than 7” on this unit? No not really. But the strobe light is rather unnecessary. I think the last mod that I would consider is the Bluetooth board. I would even do the ultra pitch before that. Anyway, I’m looking forward to integrating my PT01 with the new Phase that’s coming out so that we can all go to that next level shit!!!! Peace

Its going on a year since i bought mine. love the fact that i can take it on the go and bust it out when ever i have a itch to scratch. I have kept mine stock up until now thinking of changing a few things. Can't wait to see what mods you do.

Nice review! Very enjoyable to watch! 👍🏽

Welcome to the portableism crew! I was kind of lucky to be able to get an affordable vestax! - but im too scared to mod that one, so am looking forward to getting a pt-01 too, hopefully i can follow along with you on the mods, and have full on portable mix sessions!

Water clear comments ...great done

Dope stuff man, keep it up bro..

Great video as always! I bought this last year. Watched loads of videos on it and decided to take the plunge into modifications. I installed the Jesse Dean Fader which is amazing!!! The cuts feel much sharper. This is perfect for me to practice on and learn various scratches. I love the fact that it's portable to! Looking forward to seeing your modifications as well for inspiration. Be blessed and keep scratching. 🎶

TLM? 😮 Wow! Broeder! Lang niet gezien.. Je zal mij vast niet meer kennen, ik ben Marino uit Zeeland. Heb jou leren kennen via Gert Jan Braintje in (volgens mij Wassenaar of op een talenten jacht ergens anders, maar in mijn herinnering was het Wassenaar) Wij hebben nog samen staan scratchen net de laatste 10min van mijn set net voordat jullie begonnen. Was echt DIK! Jij deed de beat en ik de cuts enzo. Jij zal het vast niet meer weten aar voor mij is het een mooie memory. ❤

Great video thanks 🙏🏽 I think ima go with the modifications plug and play method🙂 safe for me.

Well my upgrade was new crossfader jesse dean, start stop button bihari, jesse dean tonearm and preamp for phono, shure m44/7 needle, stalibiser ring under the platter, rubber band under the platter for better torque plus external battery with output 5v 2A & usb inverter 5v to 12v for the power input. Lots of practice from DJ TLM TV and Big up!!

Best review I've watched g. Big yo DJ TLM

Nice review ,DJ TLM ,as we have watched your videos before wondering if you would ever crossover to portablism.We are very happy to see u jump on board .Welcome to the mod world of portablist as we wait on part 2 of the review peace.Paya.

Had this for myself too! Cant wait for the Stokyo Kutter (portable fader),as for now im trying to get use to the switch fader

U’re the master of scratching bro 👍👍

Had one for a while now. Drop in fader was the only modification i have done. Turntable training wax is the place to go for mods /vinyl.enjoy.

Have one of these. I did the following mods to it: 1. Jesse Dean magnetic fader, the second version, that let's you adjust the cut-in with just a little screwdriver without taking the unit apart. Cuts are clean and sharp. 2. Jesse Dean carbon fiber tonearm and mounted a Shure M 44-7. Works great. Really stable and reliable. 3. Jesse Dean digital start/stop button. 4. Solidcutz aluminium platter. Stable and definitely (a lot) better than the stock platter. For batteries, there are a few options. I decided to go with a USB cable to be able to connect it to a powerbank. Works perfect! Of course, there's a lot more options to mod out on the PT01, but I think the four I did are essential to elevate the portable scratch experience to a much higher level. Great video by the way! I'm curious, what you decide to go with. Peace!

We are waiting for Episode 2!!!)

Is this a good starter for learning how to scratch? Been wanting to get into it and i love the fact you can take it anywhere you go.

Always with great reviews. Ive been looken for a portable been away from my tables for a few years due to work but i needa get a small portable set up i can travel with, just to get back at it!! Ty for the review boss keep up the good work. Is there anyone other one you would recommend?

1.2.4c is hands the the best fader I used on my pt01

saturday session with pt01

Dope

Welcome to the portablist world, you will like all there is for this little turntable.

Nice review!! Have one and just tried to connect with USB to the computer and figured out that the sound of the vinyl is out but I cant use the feder, neither the tone and volume. Would be grate if you can help me with that! thanks!!!

Maybe a Saturday Session using your portable in the near future?

i've had mine for 2 years now .. i need to finally mod it .. aiming to switch the fader .. maybe that innofader stem connect .. would love the tone arm that rotates all the way to other side.. think it would help since i scratch record hand on record and fader on left hand..

Hey! Interesting to know about that "phono/line"-style cuts of oldschool turntablist. Would be interesting to find some videos back from those days. One more thing to mention: PT-01 can work as a DVS right out of the box! You just need to hook it up to your iPad (never tested with iPhone, but I guess it should work too) and run Mixfader-app. Then you can connect portable Mixfader via bluetooth, put timecode-vinyl and voila - here`s a portable DVS-setup. At least how I use it.

Any recommendations for a right handed DJ? As far as the placement of the innofader? I typically work the fader with my left hand?

It looks like a cool bit of kit! I'm getting one for my nephew, he's new to scratching and I thought it would be a great 'starter' table for him, I've heard it doesn't come with a vinyl? 🤷🏻‍♂️ can anyone reccomend any scratch vinyl other than the one in the video? 😎👌 thanks!

If you could turn this unit into a dvs system, that would be HELLA dope. please make this modification

Yo TLM! Have you tried the Reloop Spin, and if so, upgraded fader for it? How do you think it compares? Thanks!

you should do an update on your PT01 on the upgrades you have done and start "episodes" on how to scratch for beginners on the PT01 🙏🏽

I got a heavy I guess Tried to modify but it still skips

The stock needle is a Numark Groove Tool

I really like this but is there something similar with a little bit bigger platter? I have huge hands

Watching this in 2021. Decided to buy this . want to learn. HOw To scratch.

any chance you could post links to the 2 wires you need for phone and speaker please,or even give me names thnaks

I'm curious did you do the modifications in the meantime ?

great video, what mods are you planning to do?

Great review but can't understand why Numark just don't release a new version with all the necessary mods as stock???

It look like a fisher price toy DJ TLM ....🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m saving up 💰 to buy this to go with my Maschine MK3

scratch disc isn't included ?

I think u forgot to review about 2main features .. one its battery & one we also use normal 12"viny in this truntable 😂

Is there any vinyl record included in the set or need to be purchased separately?

Can this be used with Serato? Is anything needed besides the Serato record and Serato software?

how is the name from beats App? thank you !

Could you please link up those 7in serato scratch records? I've been trying to find serator control vinyl that size and couldn't find any or it wasnt in stock. Would really appreciate it, much love

can it be used as a normal 45s player?

I dropped mine now it running only on batteries🤕

I need help
