[zestoi]

Sorry guys thought it was a repost. Here it is.

cool - good to know i'm not going mad (well not because of that anyway )

haven't seen it posted anywhere else - and only found it on the blog after u posted it here before.

wow... just watched the video that chrismac just posted here (and then deleted?) which is on the blog... this controller is pure midi porn. first controller that would make me consider shelling out that sort of cash. looks like is has soooo much more potential than the S4. still looks like a massive beast tho wonder how it'll fair with space issues in clubs... same as the S4 i guess?

if djtechtools come up with awesome mappings for this by next which i know ean and his crew would do. i'm definitely selling off my s4. the only downside is that i would lose my timecode controls for traktor but if the jog wheels does the job well then goodbye s4. p.s the vci400 makes the s4 and s2 look like a fischer price toy.

chrismac reposted the vid in the previous page - and it's also on the djtt blog.

and ean does say there may well be an "ean golden" edition

i was afraid with all the NI centric-ness recently that he wouldn't be behind it so much - but it looks promising

so with the little info we have atm i'd say the X1 loses out to the new K2 and the S4 might have a hard time against the VCI400...

also will the unit need an external power supply?

its good to see something like this coming out

this will force other manufacturers to improve on their product's functionality/build quality/price rather than just dashing out new stuff

there is a power input on the back - which he had a cable plugged into in the video

edit: from the blog...

Communication: MIDI over USB (Requires Power Supply)

At last some thing I can properly drool over.

It's like vestax been watching and waiting...

Next up Technics are gonna drop a cl1200 and cl1210 controller

The only minor problem I see with the VCI is it's price compared to what software it comes with. Now this isn't a issue for those who already have full versions of traktor and/or serato itch from previous purchases, but for those that don't, spending over $1k for a controller that comes with a "light" edition software seems hard to swallow.

Again, a minor issue considering most of those posting here already own full versions of DJ software.
