Novation Dicer, a new MIDI controller for DJs

http://www.novationmusic.com/us/pro...igital_dj/dicer

What do you think? I dunno if I'd have any real use for one, but it sure solves one problem quite nicely and that's the space problem. No more wondering where you're gonna put your MIDI controller as it sits right on the deck.

I think it's awsome I use tts and this will be used for my looping and cues in serato. The less I need to touch my comp the better. How could u say this is garbage? It's brilliant...

if you want to use loops, cues whatever without touching the laptop then grab a midi controller, there are mixers with midi support too, but this is completely useless...

It is a MIDI controller, it's not a mixer and it's not supposed to replace a mixer. That's like saying a CDJ sucks because it doesn't play vinyl. It's a different type of a product.

I think I'd prefer a Xone:1D to this as I've got the space and would love to get more functionality, but I still think it's a good idea, but not for everyone like nothing is.

That's funny. I played with one of these at a local Guitar Center on Sunday. Dunno, I don't really see the point of it unless you use Serato. An actual midi controller would be your best bet. The 1D would be a better buy IMO.

It is aimed at vinyl-based DVS users that need easy control over their cue points and/or loops, so of course it's going to be useless for most of you.

Read me.
