A flat or a angled controller?
Posted on: 27.01.2012 by Ruby Jaeb
Hi guys,

I am just starting a rather ambitious project to build an all in one Traktor controller as Im fed up of all the controllers having Jog Wheels.

Ive got the designs down and ordered some parts, but the issue I am stuck with is whether or not to raise the controller. I could either build it at an angled much like the one found here... http://www.smithsonmartin.com/kontrol-surface-ks-1974/

Or would you prefer to have a flat controller like the S4 and most other controllers?

Thanks,

Jack

+1 angled is nice when in the studio (or used to when i *had* a studio ) esp when sitting down, but i'd prefer flat for standing/mixing

Agreed.. I like when a controller has option of both
