Reply to First Timecode Experience

So a mate of mine just bought himself Scratch A6, and asked for my help setting up his timecode as he was experiencing some weird issues. So I went down during the day to our kinda "home" venue (we both work there) where was having a play in the booth during closed hours; here's the setup...

- 2x CDJ1000mk2s
- 1x DJM-600
- 1x Audio 6
- MK2 Timecode CDs
- MacBook Pro
- Traktor 2.6.1

Everything was set up fine, timecode properly calibrated, etc etc. And now, here come the "bugs":

- Pitch control is... well... wank, tbh. Pitchfader doesn't move smoothly, and actually controlling the pitch to any reasonable standard is impossible.
- Jogwheels are just as bad, scratch mode is "okayish" but pitchbending is terrible
- Cueing is practically insane. You grab the first beat, hit cue, and it jumps forward and THEN starts playing. You can skip forward through the track using the jogwheel, but then pressing PLAY restarts the track completely.

I turned down the latency on the A6 to 4.9ms, which improved pitchbending slightly but not the tempo fader or the cueing issues. Am I missing something, or is timecode basically a joke compared to MIDI/HID control?
