- I use this board for over a year.
- I love the plastic look anything deserves to be a little better, stripes appear over time. The screen quite readable.
The buttons are well placed, the 4 banks are great cue.
The accolades stop there, the accuracy of pitch is poor, in 0.1 is insufficient to DJ a house / electro.
Not rely scratch with the sound that it is bogus. Stalled for a bit difficult to use the wheel it speeds up or slows down too much the song, for against the pitch bend is perfect. The key lock out sound very bad, to banish!
It's simple on this board I never use the wheel it is useless.
As for effects, they are rather bad, the flanger is just saturated. I use the echo.
The bpm counter is a disaster, I mix to the ear so it does not matter, but for a good bpm effects is needed. Bpm tap feature is there to let off steam, but sometimes it does not work.
The fast forward is not practical.
The sampler, simply unnecessary and useless, too complicated.
Finally the soles of both platinum without reason, it turns off / on again briefly. The only remedy left to rest 10 minutes disconnect. Fortunately it never happened to me live!
In summary this model I use the play / pause button, cue the banks, pitch, pitch bend, and the echo effect. The rest is either unusable or bug! A C.303 under what I would have made this skate well enough.
- From this model, I used to complement a C314 with significant improvements (see my review above).
And if I had the opportunity to test a Pioneer CDJ-200 and CDJ-800MK2.
- The price / quality ratio is rather poor medium or the same price you have a CDJ-200, super reliable, super accurate with no useless function.
- This board allowed me to get started, if you know stalling on this machine you know stalling on any CD player flat!
I just ordered the CDJ-800MK2 can finally stop worrying about the plate but that of my mixes.
I do not advise anyone to go for this level of budget for the CDJ-200!
