Faderfox LX1 vs LX2

I think you can set some of the buttons to step forward each press by a fixed amount (+12 maybe?) when they're set to send CC's. So that would mean a little tweaking & mode-switching is possible. Anyone know for sure?

In my manual it says that it can send CC messages but only CC-max or CC-min. As far as I understand it, it is meant as an equivalent to note on/off for other programs than Live.

Got my LX2 for a few hours now and it rocks... so does the LX1.

The leds are ... so useful (and sexy, glowing faintly when not fully lit). 64 buttons on the other hand on the LX1, is there any other device with that much buttons?

Get them both.

i wish i could get them both..

i also with for world peace.... but i know both of those things arent' going to happen.

unfortunately, for now, i can only afford to get either or...lx1 or lx2.

is it true that on the lx1 you can't save any banks of presets?

Yes, I think it is true. You have to save all in Live, but what´s the prob with that?

oh...nothing...your right...
my only point of reference is my lil uc33. sometimes for larger sets, i'll spread out my 8 tracks over a couple of midi channels...1-8 (midi ch.1...) 9-16 (ch 2..) etc

so far....that knob looks really appealing to me too....want to be able to use that strictly for navigation, setting it on my powerbook.

anyone have any strong feelings about that knob? ?

is it an endless pot?

That knob on LX1 you mean? Yes, it´s endless.
Stong feelings - No. I don´t use it much ´cause my sets are not that big.
I find it hard to scroll exact, especially when doing lots of other thing at the same time but with a little practise it could be the thing you are looking for.

.

I have to correct myself:
it is possible to send CCs in steps of 12.
