Reply to Livid Instruments CNTRL:R and Xone K2

I've been trying to upgrade my set up from a VCI 100 SE and LPD 8 for almost a year now...contemplated the S4, then the Twitch, then the S2 + K2 combination, then the S2 + F1 combination and most recently the VCI-400 EGE. I feel like i'm constantly waiting for the "perfect" controller, and only now am i realizing that that's nearly impossible. I've set my cost limit around 1 grand, and I plan on buying the CNTRL:R and pre ordering the K2 tomorrow.

I'm not asking for advice or anything on my next set up, but just wanted to open the discussion on how versatile of a set up this could become. I'm really excited to get my hands on these new toys and start mapping like a mo'fucka'.

I plan on using the K2 as my soundcard, and starting with the provided Traktor mapping for the CNTRL:R, and using the K2 to map any immediate issues I encounter with Livid mapping. Hopefully as time goes on I can develop a comprehensive mapping that utilizes more of what the K2 has to offer.

Thoughts?

mods: this might be better in the controller discussion community , could you move it?
