I suppose "bank" control would have been nice, but that's the only thing I can think of off hand... If you've already gone that far into ableton, then sure it looks like you know what you want Are you going to still mix on the DJM-800, or try to mix using the Lemur? The Lemur looks so powerful for everything else... I just can't imagine mixing with a touch screen Have you setup your Novation with automap (or abletons instant mapping)? That's another pretty powerful tool.

i have played with automap a little bit but am not so impressed because im pretty anal about my configuration and custom templates...which sort of ties into why dedicated CC configuration is a problem since I like to have a very organized/anal setup. I only ever really use about 5 MIDI channels but it's still important for me to explicitly design my templates.

I've been following up on the Lemur for about a year now and am convinced that it's powerful enough for everything I will be doing, despite it's lack of tactile feedback (which apparently is not even a problem considering how strong the multi-touch and sensitivity is).

Not sure how I'll be using the DJM800 once I integrate the Lemur especially since it won't be a traditional DJ set but rather more of a fusion of traditional + live production sort of deal (a la Stephan Bodzin). By the way, just touching on what you mentioned before about trying this out on the DJM800 itself, I have experimented a little with setting up a live-performance situation between my DJM800 and ableton but of-course there are obvious hardware limitations which would be easily overcomed by the Lemur...I feel like as I'm typing I'm convincing myself even more for the jazzmutant! lol.

Thanks for your input.

Lemur hands down. I own both the 3D and the Lemur. I bought one when Cycling 74 stil had the 60 day trial promotion on the Lemur, which was absolutely hastle free and let you try it out without worrying if you spent your money well or not.

I love the fact that I can simply go ahead into Jazzeditor, create my own interface, go back into Ableton, load up a plugin and route it to that interface. Especially how I can take a eq plugin like waves, route that to Lemur and use it as the main eq for mixing tracks. Its fantastic and incredibly fun.

It is not as big as the 3d too so it saves you room when you're playing out. I suggest you get a good external audio interface with lots of outs aswell. Atleast 4 to emulate the traditional mixer.

p.s : Welcome to the Mutant forums.

thanks! everything I've ever heard about the Lemur has been unanimous in opinion so I guess it's the way for me.
