I just read this 4midiloop review and they appear to agree with your assessment calling it "the most comprehensive, best-built, 4-channel MIDI controller on the market today."davepermen wrote:he actually produced it for himself, and got lots of requests. so now he builds according to those requests as needed. bad timing, yes, but he has already a customer base. and personally, i would prefer this one over the s4 by much. the 4 decks all accessible, no stupid spinwheel taking up much space (as i only use the two buttons to speed up and slow down since years, wheels never replaced vinyl for me). it's essentially nearly twice the s4 in around half the space. i just can't afford it. i understand the price, as it's handmade, and would love to get it. but right now? no. hope he still builds them when i have more money.djgroovy wrote:Bad timing much? Why would anyone buy this for over 1300€ instead of the S4 for 900€?
I like this summation:
Code: Select all
The bottom line is that if you're a professional DJ who deploys a modular setup: separate audio interface, DJ MIDI controller, additional MIDI controllers, etc. and is looking for a best-in-class DJ interface with top-quality components that allows for full access to all four decks in Traktor, plus comprehensive EQ and effects control, the 4midiLoop is the answer to the question you keep posting on the forums, despite its premium price.
Also, if you read the Off The Record action on the left hand column, one of the reviewers uses the 4midiloop with Ableton! (Which could give the Vestax VCM-600 some much-needed competition)
