Large Touch-Sensitive Platter Controllers?
Posted on: 04.02.2010 by Luna Coupal
I'd like a large, high-resolution platter, similar to the EKS OTUS.. but Stanton SCS.1D and Numark NS7 are fine too. I don't care if it's motorized or not, but I do care that it is reasonably priced. In other words, I don't want to spend over $1000 for two MIDI I/O decks!

That's ridiculous! We're not paying for the technology of MIDI I/O. We pay for the ergonomics, physical design, and the low-demand of the products. Electrically, it's not all that complicated in comparison to what you can buy for the same price at Best Buy... i.e. a computer, HDTV, analog stereo system, etc.

Does anyone know where I can get a large, touch-sensitive MIDI I/O platter to add onto my current setup? I don't personally care for time-coded vinyl's setup processes.

IIRC the XP10 can be modded to be a bigger jogwheel. When i pulled apart my vci300 on the weekend expanding the jogs didn't seem to hard. You just need a circle of metal and a circle of plastic

The NS7 wont work on Traktor I believe, high res MIDI signal on those platters wouldnt be much different than a VCI-300 on Traktor.

The V7 on the otherhand is very comparable to the Otus Raw, dual deck support on one unit, integrated soundcard, etc. Only different between the two is the motorized platter on the V7, the price point is the same though. Im actually tossed up between these two controllers.

Price point I was told will be $799.
I'm not responding like you said any different but i agree & that's why i wrote at this point...who knows when it will be out.

it would be cool if novation came out with one the same size as the launchpad, teamed up with traktor and offered it at a decent pricepoint

Or center the counter balance weight on the back of the tonearm to 0g to float the arm, and apply 2.5g of tracking force. Also make sure that if head shell mounted cartridges are being used, that a proper amount of slant is applied to the mounting angle so the stylus catches the groove at an adequate approach.

Honestly, if you want a jogwheel that large, you should just use vinyl and traktor scratch pro. There isnt much reason for one that large unless you are planning on scratching, anyways.

I thought the otus raw was due to come out and around 500$, correct me if I am wrong

Yeah, it's pretty disappointing. My best bet is probably finding one used or on clearance... until the market starts getting better.

Sorry for my poor specification. I'd like a jog wheel with a size between 7" and 12" in diameter. The XP-10 is too small, and I'd also like it to be touch-sensitive.

how large is large? is the platter on the eks xp-10 too small?
