Trying to think of something to add to my setup Posted on: 27.11.2011 by Kesha Pietrak So with Christmas coming up Im hoping to get some gift money and of course I want to spend it on something to add to my setup. I was believeing something like an LPD8 or an X1, but Id like to hear some other recommendations and your opinions. So what do you guys recommend? Im prob looking to spend about $100-$200 maybe a little more
Dorie Scelzo 28.11.2011	Sweet. Honestly, that's the reason I was always confused by midifighters. They seemed really cool as a thing

Kesha Pietrak 28.11.2011	Originally Posted by mostapha Figure out what you want to do first, then see what fits. Going the other way around will probably just lead people to recommend what they like. Already figured it out gonna go with the X1 and then map the midi mode to use sample decks
Kesha Pietrak 28.11.2011	Originally Posted by Bassline Brine Why not go for a MIDIFIGHTER over an LPD8? With your current setup, it seems like a bread and butter match-up. well I could use the midifighter mapping with the LPD8, I would just have to change the midi values to those of the midifighter in the software that comes with it. Also Id be able to do more with the LPD8 so thats why I prefer it, but if I ever find a midifighter used cheap Id probably buy it just to mess aroudn with bc they look way too fun to not have one
Kesha Pietrak 28.11.2011	Originally Posted by zestoi the x1 is def a good choice. personally i can't see how i'd have any controls left unmapped on a k2 tho, in fact i'm sure it won't have quite enough, but should be fine for me along with a launchpad and a single scs.3d or something. i intend to use the k2 quite differently to how u want to add a controller to use with your vci tho. i want to use it to give me full levels+eq+kills over 4 decks, the buttons for play/cue/sync/faderfx(on/off) for each deck and probably use the top encoders+button for dual duty between filters and tempo/pitch bend or something. not much left after that anyway well for my purpose Id have things unmapped for sure, but if I were using it the way you plan on doing so then for sure I might not have enough.
Chasidy Heckenbach 28.11.2011	Originally Posted by losxc451 yea I love how it looks but I feel like it might be too much stuff, with the X1 and LPD8 Id be able to map everything I want and be left with nothing without any problems but with the K2 I know once I get it mapped the way I want it I know ill have alot of things unmapped. Really leaning towards the X1 right now because it already comes with everything I need and then I can map sample decks to midi mode the x1 is def a good choice. personally i can't see how i'd have any controls left unmapped on a k2 tho, in fact i'm sure it won't have quite enough, but should be fine for me along with a launchpad and a single scs.3d or something. i intend to use the k2 quite differently to how u want to add a controller to use with your vci tho. i want to use it to give me full levels+eq+kills over 4 decks, the buttons for play/cue/sync/faderfx(on/off) for each deck and probably use the top encoders+button for dual duty between filters and tempo/pitch bend or something. not much left after that anyway
Chasidy Heckenbach 28.11.2011	Originally Posted by losxc451 yea thats why i like the lpd8, bc its pretty cheap but the X1 pretty much meets all my needs for fx, loops, cue points, and samples so right now Im really leaning towards the X1. And yea I love the K2, do you know when theyre gonna start selling? jan 1st from what i've read - so not long to wait at all.

Im prob looking to spend about $100-$200 maybe a little more depends on what u want to control i guess. sample decks/fx? an x1 would be great for that, tho for a bit more a K2 might be even better. u can't go wrong really with an lpd8, they're also uber cheap ofc. u could get a classic midi fighter - tho an X1/K2 would be more control for the money.

Kesha Pietrak 28.11.2011	I know it just looks like something to mess around with, more of a toy than anything. I cant see my self using one at all when Im mixing, but i guess its all personal preference.

Odis Stirewalt 28.11.2011	you have too much money and don't know what you wan't? spend it to me ^^
Kesha Pietrak 27.11.2011	yea thats another reason I like the lpd8 because Id be able to have the midifighter mapping and then i could still map samples, loops, cue points, etc
Karolis Petrauskas 27.11.2011	I have an x1 and its great, I also have a midifighter and its a blast to trigger effects.
