Any word on the prices of the units yet?

"we ship world wide now"

The rubber band is around my arm, and I am reaching into my wallet.

By the way, I love you.

Good news except it seems that your website has melted under the demand for info

edit: hang on just refreshed my cache....my bad.

Hmmm not quite what I expected of the LV2. I'd miss the crossfader and I'd like led markers on the four encoders really.

They have also reduced the number of faders to six. Only six buttons per row on the LX2 too.

Besides, the old black ones looked sooo much cooler.

Looks great! I personally really use LEDs on encoders, and the real-estate benefit of removing them is enormous. Also, for stuff like scene and track selection an LED-ring really doesn't make much sense, imo.

I'm digging the DX2, and also loving the new colour-scheme - very buchla/EMS

hmmmm a little disappointed to see 6 faders instead of 8, don't know if i can reduce my tracks to 6 and i really hate switching in between setups in live settings, i always get lost somewhere along the way....will have to read up more on it and see if it's do able.......

Yeah, while I have never used these, it seems strange to remove two faders, and the crossfader for that one. It actually looks like a step backward?

Not sure if you know about the FaderGroup toggle button...you actually get 6 more when you press it...for a total of 12 faders. I have the LV1 & my fingers sorta bump up against the 8 faders there, so 6 will be right nice.

yeah, that's what I was thinking as well - the 6 faders would be a lot more ergonomic

do you not find that when you are in the moment, mixing clips, that it it's hard to differentiate what channel is doing what? i have this problem all the time, which is why l like to have 'dedicated' knobs for tasks...i have never used the faderfoxes and for all i know, their system works great, but i hate having 1 knob do 2 jobs, and shy away from control boxes that offer this option to me
