Behringer CMD PL-1 hey guys
about one year ago i changed my setup from an s4 to a xone 92 and 2 x1s.
im almost completely happy like this but i miss the jogwheels (just for seeking through tracks to find the right positions for cue-points, not for scrathing or anything like that). so im looking for a small controler (about the size of an x1) with a mappable jogwheel.
has anyone had any experience with the behringer cmd pl-1?
or do you have any other suggestion for a not too expensive controller that fits my needs?
thanks for your help |

That said I feel this controller will be well worth the wait!!
Well, there are some finished units out there (seen some youtube-videos from musikmesse) it cant be too long, can it? anything out about the price range yet? Hope it wont be more than $200... |

In the manual, use the cursor keys (up and down) and load into deck A and B, hold shift press left cursor, right cursor to load into decks respectively.
Bit of a pain when trying to go through loads of tracks in a playlist mind you. That's when I use the rotary on the X1, but that defeats the point eh? |

oh shame i didnt get that it has not been released yet, thanks for the update
i'm not a big fan of reloop (friend of mine who uses a reloop mk2 had it replaced twice because the buttons broke).
the denon looks nice, any experience with it? |

Those are hand made prototypes. They got rubberized buttons and blue LED's now. |
