Wow, that's an awesome price!

i know it has knobs and clip banks and all...but why oh why not just make a few more extra knobs for those out there that wanna use eq3...this one definitely more bang for the bang buck than the Vestax Vcm600...hmmm now more thinking to do

[luigislaperig]

I really love the clip buttons like the monome is really awesome this is perfect for ableton I really think is better than the vcm 600 well idk I have to try it 1 ......what would be the price in USD

[DvlsAdvct]

Just imagine combining this with a Zero8

[BentoSan]

My only problem is that the buttons might be too small to really get into cue juggling and other stuff.

Also all the knobs are rotaries which as discussed here about a million times over lacks the haptic feedback needed for controllerism - ie being able to feel the start and end of the fader. It can allways be paired up with a mixer like the korg zero8 like dvls said though.

@luigi

well... 1 pound = 1 euro = 1.30 US dollars

So 399 pounds = 399 euros = 518 US Dollars.

Thank you tekki dammn the price is not bad at all is better than the vestax vcm 600........................................
And to dvsladvct this with the zero 8 would be amazing...but I don't have theu money to buy both so I think I would go for the zero8
