Reply to Xone DX - I would recommend!

DX turned up the other day. Thought id post my views on it.

First impressions: Very well built, sturdy and looks like the suavest bit of kit on the market. It isnt much bigger than most other "internal" controllers and isnt too heavy. I wouldnt find it too difficult to carry around especially as Mono and Magma do bags that fit.

Setting up: I use this with Traktor Pro (not Itch that comes with). It was set up and working within 5 minutes. Simply a case of installing the driver from the cd, grabbing one of the TSI files from the Allen and Heath site (I would recommend mapping #3 on there) and just importing that to traktor. Everything worked fine first time.

In use: I find everything well layed out, easy to use and navigate. Its got everything I could possibly need all in one unit. Whether it be effects, looping or just basic controls its great for the lot. Also, 4 deck action is really easy at the press of just one button. The jog wheels feel nice as a pitch bend and make it easy to cue up/search through a track to find the point your after.

I would recommend this to anyone. Saves the hassle of having to set up 2 Kontrol X1's and an Audio 8 then wire them all to a mixer - everything is just there at your fingertips!
