actually you may want to check it out in real life before you buy it. I found progaming the same effects time after time very hard w/ the kaoss pad. For example: you did this really cool low pass filter sweep, and later on you want to do it the same way, but it's hard b/c you have to remember EXACTLY how you moved your finger across the touchpad. I personally perfer knobs and wheels over touchpads and air.

Those are all great suggestions. I will definatly check them out today. I just need to know if I get an effects processor, do I need a mixer that is more than 2 channels? Thanks. I'm also going to check out that Alesis Ineko since you seem to like it. Would that be a good buy?

not really, if you just want the effects on the master signal you can hook it up to anything that makes sound. if you want it on each individual channel you can buy a mixer with effect send/return jacks on the back.

if you are still set on an effect mixer, get the djm600 or djm3000 (19" version, and much nicer to use), no other effect mixer comes close and they have more effects than the 500, and a sampler. if i were you, i would opt for these, or a mixer with more than just 2 channels so you can allow for much more expansion of your setup at a later date.

the pioneer efx500 is basically the same fx unit but miles better and more controllable, but without the sampler. on the other hand though, with it you can do 25 different effects in 5x5 configuration, as you can use 2 effects at once due to the seperate controls for beat effects and jog wheel effects.

Thank you. I will definatly keep that in mind as I go out tomorrow and look at these mixers and effects processors. I'm definatly going to get a mixer with more channels eventually. For now my two channel will do just fine. Any more suggestions are welcomed.

get a Xone 92 and a Kaoss Pad 2. Then, you get some eq kills, some awesome filters, and you can use the Midi controls to control the effects on the KP2! Course, it'll set you back about $2000, but the result would be awesome.
