AdrienM33 « Best Controller »
Published on 06/19/13 at 08:17Yes, indeed it is a controller. Certainly if the computer fails, there is no fallback ... though ... it is a real mixer so an ipod with a small PL plugged into the "just in case" we can at least guard against accidental activation.
Admittedly, this is not the same as governed DJM 900 / CDJ2000 Nexus ...
But what up!
Everything is the first time, the mere fact of having a powerful sampler is already a huge change.
The jog, although modest in size are very nice, all buttons / faders are good, the pads are just magic: cue drumming facility, roll more convenient and accurate than a WELL "wheel" slicer friendly (never use it for vocals ... and the slip mode is perfect ...
I sold my NS6 (already HDG yet) to go to the controller and I have absolutely no regrets!
It may well make one or two complaints but more related to software (Serato DJ) and machine: the disappearance of the "Tremolo" effect Itch (equivalent to a trans / spoil), no effect pitch / key are key.
If you ever want more shortcuts: a small LPD 8 next will delight you for 40 €.
The only Evolution I could reversible at this level would be just a control 900/2000 with use of recordbox through HDD ... Or simply controller fashion ... as 90% of clubs ...
I do not think XDJ R1 (independent / 100% pioneer) is as effective and well constructed that the couple DDJ SX / Serato, even if the opportunities with the iPad app seem very interesting ...
To summarize: DARK.
