Just a thought.. I’ve been using the standard X-Session controller for a while now.. and the two things I wish it had were: Sliders for pitch/volume (Thanks for releasing the Pro!) and the other thing (I don’t know the technical name) is to have the knob controllers with no specific midi level, just Increase/Decrease the levels without a physical limitation (ie: move to the right = keep increasing the level untill the soft-limmit has been reached). This is helpful when the controls on the PC aren’t matched to what’s on the MIDI controller. As soon as you touch the knob, it jumps to the position of the midi controller and the audio is also affected. I’m constantly having to move the controlls prior to making it the active audio source.

It’s a controller, only, not an audio interface. USB 1.1 will be just fine. (Think mice, keyboards, etc.) You’re not sending enough data to need the additional bandwidth of USB 2.0.

I read somewhere that it uses USB 1.1, why didn’t they make it USB 2.0.? Wouldn’t that affect the speed?

sorry for the ignorance, but how do you beat mix with this thing? Does the software do it for you?
I just woke up from the seventies and cleaned the dust from my 1200’s…

@Alfred
It may be made for pitching, but the good thing of midi is that you can assign anything for everything you like.
So it can be 2 additional channels as well.

I think this controller looks quite pretty and in combination with a trigger pad and a decent soundcard you will get good results for mixing

Two of the four faders are pitchbends. Here is a photo from above:

Offcourse you could route the faders to whatever you want.

The three extra knobs in addition to the EQ is really perfect for traktors filter!
