Looks like a good alternatve to the UC-33e and the Behringers...
I think it's nice looks good, this is the kind of midi controllers that need to come out I think for djing and live performances with ableton live.
What do you think?

im so afraid of the price tag...Moody wrote:It definetly looks like a good controller for Live but, I wonder what the price tag will be like.
i admit not having an LCD in there is a bit of a shame.. but otherwise, what a frekkin nice controller.
theres definately Maven-esque elements/appeal to this device in my eyes.
re: controller
Ummm slight design flaw. The crossfader is not in the middle of the mixer. Maybe OK for some but that would be a def no no for me.
What about this baby...36 clip launching buttons, faders, knobs, and the crossfader is in the right position!!

Re: re: controller
I wouldn't call that a design-flaw at all - it uses quite a standard house-mixer layout, besides the crossfader traditionally was to fade between an audio source on the left and right of the mixer - here it's for controlling a computer, so that paradigm wouldnt really apply.jamez666 wrote:Ummm slight design flaw.

I prefer the vestax to the livid, even though I like buttons.

i havent seen any club without the space for this kinda setup in quite a while and sydney clubs are pretty conservative..ground_control wrote:Oh I'll probably still bring it to gigs for sure; otherwise what's the point?
I may just have to develop some system of setting it on a turntable that's better than the roll of masking tape I use to get my bcr up over the spindle.
