Would prefer one of these. I think it's the future of interfaces. Now I just have to find 2000 euros to buy it

yeah that xone kicks ass, but i think i would still want to use a midicontroller with simple big buttons in combo

btw, the audiopas is coolest

and how is the effector called where you need to hold your hand above to control it, bt uses it

I don't know about those pad thingies... they just aren't tactile enough. I had a Philips Pronto universal remote (touchpad), and I didn't like it because you can't "feel" the buttons. I would imagine this would be similar.

The CTRL-92 is interesting, but you really end up having some of the same problems when using it with Ableton (and Decks) as you would with a DJM-800.

I think A+H should release the Xone 3D without the "Xone 92-like" mixer in the middle.

Think about it, the only interaction between the midi portion of the 3D and the mixer portion is:
1. MIDI clock
2. Direct connection to the soundcard

If you've already got a mixer with MIDI, the clock is taken care of, and you really only need one output from Ableton into your mixer (if you have a nice controller).

So what I want is the MIDI portion and the soundcard portion of the 3D, and I can connect that up to my 92 and I'd be very happy.

True, but I've played on one of these and they RAWK! It's multitouch (near unlimited amounts of contact points), and it's VERY VERY good at tracking your fingers. Also, it has it's own processing unit so it doesn't take up any of the cpu's power to process it's graphics. Also, it's OSC, not MIDI... which is the future.

What do you mean by multi-touch? Is dragging your finger on a slider really the same as using a physical slider? I like my knobs

OSC definately is the future.

Multitouch means there can be like a whole lot of fingers on it at the same time. We had 30 on at one point and it tracked all 30.

Most old school touch screen technology was limited to 1 touch point.

I really thing this is the future as it is ANY interface you want and is infinetely customizeable. you can also link a whole lot of them together.

Posted by Ryan0751 on Nov-01-2006 16:28:

That is true, and you can label things on the screen and such. Everyone gets a truly custom controller...

Perhaps a combination of something like that along with some physical controls, and an integrated soundcard. THAT would be amazingly cool.
