the phrase "assignable crossfader" comes to mind.

eh..i lack the hands on experience for these things.

also what is the advantage of being able to use a CDJ at 33rpm or 45rpm VS just using the +- %100 pitch range on regular CDJ's?

I saw the new dennon s3500 had a direct drive jog wheel that you could select to be used at 33 or 45 rpm just like a turntable.

Mostly this is to help people who are used to a certain speed. Personally when I am mixing with real records I prefer 45s, I have heard from people who scratch that they like to do it at 33. This is not to say that 33="scratch mode" and 45="mix mode", just that by offering the choice the DJ can use which ever they are more comfortable with.

Of course but for those of us using things like FS or SSL you can choose the speed.

...but it isn't a CDJ.

Anyway, quit using the crossfader. It's totally unnecessary, unless you're scratching, or playing with effects. You mix with your upfaders, yo.
