Changing out the faders to better ones also has been done. |

I also like the current mapping functionality and how you can really make a controller your own through custom mappings and modding. I also like the current partnerships between hardware and software developers. 4. Things I dislike... Ummm. I feel like the community isn't being listened to in regard to new controller development. For instance, Native Instruments came out with the S2 when a large part of the DJ community was asking for something similar to 2 X1s and a mixer. I dislike the lack of community involvement in the majority of controllers. There are exceptions of course, Midi Fighter, K2. I also dislike the toyish look of a lot of all in one units. I want my controller to look professional and sturdy, not like it came out of a cereal box or was made my Fisher Price. 5. I consider whether the controller will be supported with up to date drivers and support from software. I also look at build quality and read all the reviews I can find. 6. I would remove jogwheels. |

The price. And that there are no reasonably priced midi controllers that control the mixer within traktor. for example the a+h k2 is promising but it has no gross fader is a little small to mix without looking and has no row of leds that have no purpose besides indicating volume levels.. 5. Durability, reliance, mappin software such as the controller editor for maschine and answer to number 4. 6. number 4 |
| Petrina Copelan 03.10.2011 | Hello everyone, I'm working on a midi-controller for a senior project as an electrical engineer. I just need help completing a required survey and would really appreciate the help. So please answer the following questions:
-Thank you |
| Deeann Cheron 04.10.2011 | When and why do you use a midi-controller? - everyday for use with traktor. Walk us through a typical session using the product. - walk in front door, kick both shoes of in different directions, head to my setup, turn on laptop, power up midi, fart, open traktor, realize I need a drink, pour a double, fart, squeeze in a quick ciggie, pour another double, realise I better say hi to the wife, burp & fart at the same time, convince the wife I wont spend all evening playing music, pour a tripple, finaly make it to my setup, scratch my gonads, pick 1st track, pick 2nd track, need another drink, quick ciggie, back to setup, punch out a quick bong or two, forgot what I was doing, another drink I believe, remember what I was up to but the wife says my time is up, have a ciggie and convince her I was only setting up, sneak back to room when she is not looking, fart, 1 last bong, turn on cruise, sync, push play, then jesus pose for the next hour. What do you like about existing midi-controllers?- They make me a good dj What do you dislike about existing midi-controllers? - they make everyone a good dj What issues do you consider when purchasing a midi-controller? - the swag factor & Instant gratification reviews What improvements would you make a midi-controller? - I would like it to do my day job for me too. |
| Petrina Copelan 04.10.2011 | Thank you so much to the three of you for answering my survey. I just need one more person to answer the survey. So anyone please take the few minutes to do so. Thank you. |

| Petrina Copelan 04.10.2011 | Thank you so much DJ Gringo. I just need four more people to answer this survey please. To clarify the one question it just means describe a typical time when you are using a midi-controller; what motions you go through as you use the device. |
