However, you wouldn't have a speciel dealer here in Europe? It's kinda nasty, not mentioning expensive, getting things out from the US to say Denmark :-) Good job!

First off, ean's tutorial on youtube is "golden". Very easy to follow while doing the necessary steps. Ean has a step where you temporarily disconnect a cord to allow room for the djtechtools connector kit. I had much trouble on disconnecting this, and in the end, I just pushed the wires to the side to allow the kit to click in. Everything works accordingly. Jog wheels are completely fixed, and the new filtration and loop features are wonderful. One thing I should point out is that the serial to usb cable was an odd connection (a little archaic) but instead of buying a 40$ connection cable, I found that sparkfun has cheap serial adapters: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8580 Ean, thank you once again. Great work. If you need me to give anymore insight/detail on the process I'd be happy to supply. FIRMWARE SUCCESS!!!

The vestax didnt have the jogwheel issue in mixVibes as in traktor, what it has is an issue in assigning the monitor knob. That issue is solved with 1.2 of the firmware, I am not sure what 1.3 does to the midi commands issued by the controller so I am interesting in upgrading the 1.2 firmware instead. Is the 1.3 firmware issued by vestax and since i am interested in buying the upgrade kit anyways can I upgrade to 1.2 instead ? I am quite happy with the mapping I currently have with mixVibes i just miss a few things that the firmware 1.1 doesnt allow. Anyway please let me know and thanks for the great work. P.S You should definitely try mixvibes, the producer edition with the sampler, miilearning and all the fx integration makes it a great tool, i found it way better than traktor (less customizable in my opinion).

That's not what I meant at all. At least for me, I practice everything so much at home that when I go play out I know exactly what every knob and button is without having to look at a label. I don't suggest ever tweeking knobs during a live set unless you know exactly what that knob will do. That goes for both the label and effect that knob will have on the sound. No, no!

Thats me though. Without labeling I would go crazy- its not a good idea to figure things out on the fly in the middle of a set. Thats me though.
