I am very much inclined to agree with you there.

Yeah its really ment to go with a midi mixer, theres still alot you could do with one though if you get creative with midi re-mappings, lets see how much it costs before we go comparing it to other products on the market. If its cheap enough this one could be a winner.

Haha right on, i hope they learned from the mistake they made with the VCI thats cost them. Damn v1.1 firmware *shakes fist* more like 0.1 firmware, the v1.2 firmware fixes some issues but still has some minor bugs in it too if you are into customizing your rig like i I hope vestax is listening those damn 4th effect keys and middle effects keys are annoying the hell out of me !

I wonder what happened to this, Its been nearly 18 months now and theres been literally no information anywhere to be found about this.

I'll bet a six pack of New Castle that the vestax midi TT will cost more than a Tech 1200's.


(the bet is on, if I lose you have to come to l.a. to collect the six pack)

Bento I agree. I believe very few people are investing in the current options of platter spinning midi TT. That is.... it is very very expensive.

If Vestax gets this on the market cheap enough it will slam the competition in my opinion, too high and it will be a big ol flop. So Vestax please be reasonable about the price and you will have nothing but recommendations from me!

Yeah stanton and numark both have something like this... the problem is you are defently spend $1500 US or more.

Ha, I suppose when one has customers as demanding as us, though, you just try and get the damn piece of hardware out so we'll shut up!

Nice rotating platter complete with warped vinyl, seriously though this is way sexier.

No knobs is a definite no no for me.

Me three !
It could use more buttons though
its also got no knobs, that really wouldn't have been much to ask for.
A couple of these next to my VCI-100 would be a nice addition though.
