Best value:
Excellent
I have received there's 15 days. I was previously a pair of Numark Axis 9 on the back. Lack of budjet, I left the benefit of the doubt Gemini. I've had to use the occas evening.
Aspect: it is to actually face a pale copy of Pioneer with a more "plastic". Good ergonomics, we are faced with a platinum intuitive.
The finish seems honest. The plateau seems heavy but there's a hardness setting ... which is already on the flexible position ... too bad ...
The buttons have a touchdown franc (nicer than the soft touch of Numark).
Power:
We are not in the snapshot, after some strange noises (10 seconds), the unit is operational, with, pleasant surprise with a small screen visibility bluffing, much information in visually.
Another pleasant surprise: no breath in pregnant (it changes the Numark turntables and controllers!).
CD mode:
The charging time is 8 seconds is quite long, but beyond that time navigation of a beach to another is close to the snapshot (the same for the graphical display).
USB / SD:
With a key of 16 gigabytes, speed of recognition is phenomenal!
Navigation is very intuitive: if the pieces are sorted and correctly identify, it is incredibly easy. For the title change, the inclusion is instant (which is not the case with some controllers).
The sound quality is good. However, the output level is low and the sound is very cold comparisons with axis 9 (test with the same CD).
For effects, it is far from the quality of the Alesis Axis 9 or on the side ends of Denon.
The flanger is not great, the high pass filter and low pass are not honest, the echo is just a draft. The bubble is not bad. Note that you can adjust the intensity of effects but not the frequency.
The scratch (mode vinyl) defended well.
Features:
- Possibility of a single loop with possible corrected by jogging.
- 3 Hot cue (no memory)
- Vinyl Mode, which allows scratching,
- Adjustable pitch bend from 8 to 100% with mode "master tempo" (lock tone).
- Auto cue mode
- Ability to loop, scratch and reverse without disrupted song playback
- Setting the start and stop the song
- Possibility to use the platinum card in your PC and use the midi mode
The Good:
- Display can be read,
- The touch screen (not necessary either),
- Good overall ergonomics,
- Very versatile (cd, DDR, USB and SD card) and multiformat
- Correct sound card with support for audio from a PC,
- Output spdif and midi (USB)
- Updates available online,
- Possibility of continuous playback of song during the loop, scratch and reverse,
- 3 hot cue,
- Finishing correct (for the price),
- Touch screen
- Effects scratch correct
- Quick reading of flash media,
- Display the "waveform" snapshot.
The Bad:
- Effects not top,
- The master tempo quickly gives voice to the robot slows down or accelerated loss of percussion. A priori, no possibility to choose the key "locked".
- The pitch control is notched,
- Bug after update
- Load Time CD
- Ignition time,
- Supported by sound card unstable.
I would have appreciated:
- The ability to link between the decks for file exchange, or a repeater,
- A slightly larger screen,
- A smaller footprint,
- More originality, we feel too that the designers have stolen from right to left,
- A sound more "musical"
- A jog more flexible,
The value for money is not bad, hoping that a new update is available soon as version 4.1 does not seem yet accomplished.
I still leaves the benefit of the doubt until the new update, but I confess that power outages and crashes me a bit cold (no less than four crashes in the evening loading CD Audio or MP3 file ( USB or SD).
Otherwise they are very functional turntable, no difficulty of use to declare.
