UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?

Yes, just plug it using the USB cable and install the drivers on both PC and MAC.


The manual is clear and sufficient?

The manual is comprehensive and explains the features of the entity table.


The usual functions are they easily accessible?

The table is very intuitive and all hands on in spite of the many features.

SOUNDS

The equalizer is effective?

Yes even though I have not a lot of reference material.


Introduces it's breath?

At present, nothing.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

For 3 weeks.

I use it in Traktor Pro 2 with two Xone 1D, a Kontrol X1 that is synchronized with Ableton 8, Apc-40, PK-25 and in Maschine plugin.


Have you tried many other models before buying it?

BCD 2000, Xponent, XONE 4D

Not or not only the "mixers" but these are the only references I have.


What is so special that you love the most, least?

Compared to my other systems all in one, there is no picture, there is a range greater level functionality, compactness (vis-à-vis the 4D) and sound.
The looper, effects, filters can change the sound to infinity (do not abuse it either!)

The table also has many internal settings and a matrix, which is very significant.

The only fault I can find is that it can not be aggregated with another sound card (my Audio6 dj in my case) on Mac OS X (to my knowledge).


How would you rate the quality / price?

Good value for money, quality, functionality and innovation justify the price.


With experience, you do again this choice?

Yes of course. This is sheer pleasure of owning this piece of technology.
