Hey DJTT community,

Does anyone know when the Behringer CMD series units are going to be available? I'm looking forward to trying these out.

I just looked these up for the first time and they look sweet, but after reading a few pages here it seems that they wear out quickly...

So that's the deal with production models too? ...
That shouldn't be happening with the production models. I'll look into it.

Are you a Windows user? You'll need the ASIO driver.

I am trying to find the exact dimensions of the MM-1 module but can't seem to locate them online - anyone here know them?
Thanks, P

So guys, more opinions on the stuff you bought please!!!
I just bought some hardware (machinedrum, analog4) so i have to wait for CMD's to enter my home.
The Studio 4A would probably give the best dj experience (remember this is my (almost) first attempt at dj'ing). But a combo of MM, PL and DC would give a very nice addition to my DAW.

The DC could use the 16 pads to select tracks (trying to use a minimum of them!) and then the 1-8 could select busses. So many options!!! Is it possible to use the CMD program to figure out what possibilities are on how to program the units? Even if not having a unit yet i mean.

Grabbed. Will give it a whirl. Good work mate.

I'll also be updating my CNTRL:R mapping for the remix deck functionality so all this could take me a two months or so to wrap it up.

We'll keep it touch mate!

Cheers!
Yeah totally. Let's see where we are in a little while.

Excellent. Although I may change my mind now you have done a mapping but seriously, If I am not getting much use from it, I may as well spread the love.

Listen dude I m trying to work my way around the CMD line but in all honesty I probably wont have much need for the DC-1 although I will map it and give some feedback to Craig, I have numerous similar controllers.
Maybe I can just send you this one if you will get some use from it. Im sure nem0nic will be cool with that.

Im considering getting another PL-1 to make a full S4 type controller and I am using the Micro on a weekly basis (that thing has been a God Send).

Let me see how I get on with things but It's better to have the DC-1 being used than sat on a shelf and theres no-one gonna get more use from it than you.

There's some potential indeed. Now I wish I asked nem0nic for the DC-1 instead for MM-1...

But: Printing on the aluminium comes off really easy with a bit of handgrease. I've completely rubbed off the xfader-lines with only a few hours use.

It needs a final coating after printing to be perfect imho.

The printing on the plastic holds up a lot better.

Another 5 cents from a really impressed noob

I got my Studio 4a and i am extremely pleased with it. It's my first console and it was well worth the wait. Deckadance is a little buggy at times though so i believe ill stick to traktor.

Well in Canada they are saying end of July now - every single time I've asked them it gets postponed - this is such a joke! You can't even get the LC-1 from unique squared.

Yeah we has this whole massive thread on power/audio for the iPad on the NI community . People tried every conceivable hub, connector that was available.
Fact is only the Z1, Apogee Duet (Mac), Vestax Spin and a few other devices could do both (power/audio) with a proprietary cable and of course some voodoo inside the unit.

The debate was large enough that I believe this was partly responsible for NI producing the Z1 (plus other factors).

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up.

All of a sudden the Z1 just got a lot more attractive...
