So what’s the verdict?
I have an APC on order but came across the ohm and want to know.

What about the vci by vestax?

energizer bunny – still waiting…for a real assessment of this controller – btw – cell64 does NOT export QT movies, something any VJ software worth its salt MUST do in my opinion..

Just to keep things updated, here’s a response from the Ohm forum:

“If there was a mechanical failure, it would likely happen within the first few days. Anything beyond that would be from wear and tear. If something goes wrong not from use we will happily replace it, but if it is after a year there is not much that can go wrong that is not from wear and tear. If something goes wrong that is caused by a user we will fix/replace it at cost. If we find it is a mechanical failure we will not charge you for it. I personally despise “Livid Care” type warranties that many companies offer, we wont charge for that kind of thing. So if you look at other companies that offer lifetime warranties, this is essentially what we offer.”

Cool.

I think if the build quality is a selling point, you should consider making it several years – not just one. And please know – I say that with all due respect. I think the Ohm64 is quite sexy indeed.

It is actually one year, that warranty was from our old controller and I didn’t upload the most current manual. It’s up there now. Thanks.

After reading the manual for the Ohm64, it seems that the warranty is only for 6 months. Given the emphasis on build quality, I am a bit surprised by this!

hoping, panting for Livid info soon. As prob one of the billions waiting, but not pre-ordering an APC40, I started looking at the Novation reMote SL mark I and II. It has a keyboard for those of us that like to play riffs on the fly. Not as many rectangles, but knobs that are LABELLED. Livid has got CellDNA, but Modul8 is the ’standard’ and Livid told me CellDNA has improved performance over Union, whatever that means. Plus the Novation runs on 4 C batteries, something you’re not likely to ever see again…
