The best faders and pots

Uhm...am I missing something here?

I guess for what you do Bento, then this makes sense. But in reality you have more 'analog' style features with this than you do with a vci-100 or a korg zero4.

Have you ever actually used a Pioneer mixer before?

Since the 500.

I own 2 800's now.

You can't beat the grooved, rubber pots. They're similar to what Ean is selling for the upgrade to the VCI-100. Seriously.

Oh, I'm not really a fan tbh, I've always found them to feel really cheap and nasty. I've got an 100SE and I wouldn't really say the knobs were that similar past being black and besides which it's the pots that are the important bit. Out of all the major manufacturers at that price point I'd say they had the worst faders/pots.

Still; YMMV, horses for courses, etc.

i like horses for courses.
