Am I crazy or does...
Am I crazy or does... Posted on: 22.05.2010 by Madlyn Trocino Does anyone else wish someone would make a midi controller that has 4 Jog wheels?All these controllers with 4 channel Faders and no one has thought of actually making a Midi controller that has 4 physical Jogs...1 for each channel (4 Jogs in all) I dunno, I sit at home making these brilliant and seemingly easy to use multi layer layouts (TSI's) for TP, and its all great until I get to the club and realize its just too much damn believeing for all thats going on while im working in front of hundreds of people. I have been sitting here for weeks trying to come up with a solution and all I can come up with is piecing it together with mutable controllers which doesnt work because of size limitations in the booths I work... Maybe im old school....or slightly retarded...or maybe I just get tired of having to believe of the extra step I have to take when implementing "on the fly" idea's.....particularly with Deck's C&D Hot Cues, loops and acapella trickery. Anything with layers bleeds into my ability to implement ideas natrually and interfere's with my creative flow....Am I the only one who experiences this? | |

The more layers I create (taking up space in my brain & on my cotroller)....the more I seem to feel trapped creatively. I would find it refreshing to have 4 physical Jogs (and controls) for a 4 deck setup. Call me crazy (most do anyways)..... |

| Leon Camphouse 23.05.2010 | I agree with that idea, The jog wheels don`t need to be big like on the vci,take a look at the jogs on the numark omni,if you can put 2 smaller jogs side by side or even put 4 rotary pot or something. Granted it will be a tight fit ,you might have to move the line faders closer and so on and even make the jogs removable for transport but at least you have 4 jogs to use Don`t know how to do it but i`am sure there`s a way. |
| Adolf Hit 22.05.2010 | What would you be using the extra jogs for except for scrubbing through the track? |
| Ola Fornwalt 22.05.2010 | I have Xone 1ds and the way I have it is that the bottom and top buttons of the jogwheels (the phsycial push) are hold modifiers. Then all the jog wheels functions and the 8 bottons above htem becaome releveant to deck A or Deck B, Jog button UP push, jog button down push. and same for CD this makes it super easy to use as if you had four. A cheap solution would be a pair of EKS XP5s problem solved |
