Nice. Like the apc deal.

How are you liking the tweaker/what are you using it for?

Think it would ever work as a midi mixer?

I'll try to step up the game this week-end - still waiting for one unit to arrive... and then I may have to stitch together a panorama shot of it all. it's gonna be a pain, but a feature on DJTT is certainly worth the trouble. not to mention your 10$!

to unleash the bassacre, of course:

I think it can work as a MIDI mixer. in fact, the default traktor mapping it ships with is essentially a "daily bread" 2 channel mixer layout that works well considering its purpose (but of course I've made my own, like most of us would), and the ableton remote script consists of two parts - one of which is a dynamic 2 channel mixer that you can move around a liveset. for a big set structure with dozens of tracks, the tweaker is clearly too small, but if you use it as a simple trigger box for a bunch of oneshots and loops to enrich your DJ set it's pretty close to perfection (I say "pretty close" because there's no such thing as a "perfect" controller).

I've played quite a few gigs using just the tweaker since getting the prototype and it was definitely cool on its own, but in the setup I'm building now both tweakers will end up as add-on units. I really like the fact that it has physical MIDI I/O besides USB, there are a number of applications for that (and it's not as constrained as maschine where you have to choose between USB OR MIDI in controller mode, you can actually use both in one template). syncing different programs is obvious, but then there's the PDX3000 which can essentially be turned into a Controller One this way...
