Published on 02/06/12 at 14:27kind of USB MIDI controller and traktor oriented live mainly
USB powered
the 48 pads in all colors, it's nice! (And it attracts the customer!)
I bought it for use with ProTools and Reason 10 6 on laptop, especially for dynamic pads.
The manual is zero, even if it has the advantage of being available in French.
There is an editing software, style M-Audio's Enigma, which is called IMap, Version 2 is compatible with any of my PC apparently, and a version crashes my laptop (recent, 8G of RAM, i5 equivalent). This software is used to change the controls of notes and other CC effects and if you do not have the midi learn in software (which has become quite rare I think), but given the quality of the pad sensitivity, as forget the "instrument".
There are four modes at the origin:
-DJ: to control playback live (4 buttons play, stop 12), I have not managed to use this mode of Reason and Protools
-Effector: I attribute the controls with midi learn on protools or Reason noon on assignment, it is flashy and so there are 48 possible controls! here it works well. The value of the control is displayed in red letters on blue, it's funny.
-DAW: to change mute, solo, pan and volume or pitch of eight tracks, and play / record, not bad
Drummer-mode: use the pads conventionally as controllers of note, and there is very poor, press as a nag at the center of the pad, otherwise no note, so mediocre gameplay, and When it does not work for ten seconds and you do not know why. To live, to exclude, possibly for recording mobile if you have time ...
Kong on laptop with Reason, it crashes every time. There must be a compatibility with the software publisher IMap as soon as I uninstall it no longer crashes, but suddenly I can not define the notes of the pads ...
Suddenly I Controller uses effects and playback / recording on desktop PC, and then no worries. But it's duplicate with controls from my Axiom Pro 49 and my little novation nocturn.
Level of manufacturing quality, it seems it would pass under the tractor to move the body of the istage (apparently metal), but it's really silly to have put a potentiometer and a fader as fragile when they are made to be manipulated all the time ...
Similarly, for the sake of portability, I think they put a mini USB port that will last a few months when there was ample room on the wafer to a USB stupid.
So for the price I got it (flash sale at 44 euros), the value for money is average.
I would have returned if it had cost me 95 euros the original, for sure ...
You just say you buy a controller to effect and to start playback or recording, but not a controller of notes or style trigger finger PADKONTROL ...
As there is no on / off button, I'll be converting it back into USB light
