Gemini CNTRL2/CNTRL7 VS S2 - ON A BUDGET
Gemini CNTRL2/CNTRL7 VS S2 - ON A BUDGET Posted on: 15.09.2011 by Jefferey Delli Hi everyone!Gemini DJ is coming out with 2 BRAND NEW redesigned Digital DJ Controllers around the same time the S2 gets released. I ask that you please review the links below to see what the Gemini unit really offers. Don't just assume it sucks cause its not Native Instruments. The difference between the CNTRL 2 VS CNTRL 7 being a soundcard built in. http://geminidj.com/cntrl-7 http://geminidj.com/cntrl-2 But each unit offers 3 cue points per deck, separate loop sections per deck like the S2 with own volume control, and an FX section. Also all your basic bells & whistles. So what do you believe? For a price of $250.00 it seems like a great deal VS the S2 $600.00 price tag. It offers a similar layout plus more midi buttons then the S2 to program and it has 2 touch sensitive platters much like the pioneer digital dj mixers that just came out. And its also more compact. The big question ... can this unit be mapped midi wise like the S2 in Ean's video? Or is the S2 special and only that device can do what Ean did? Thanks guys! -R3dstar | |
