Originally posted by Zild That's what I'm using now. I've been looking for something small to control the effects and loop functions. I really like this Vestax, but it is way too big.

I don't know - with up to 4 channels running to Traktor and the rest open for effects, samples, etc. I could really see taking the time to set up a very fun set with this thing.

I think it will take a long time to figure out - but just the amount of options available, ease of use, and build quality really set me off on this.

I will probably also use it for some production aspects too - but for the most part in the next year I want to pick this up, a new laptop dedicated to music/production, and Traktor and see what happens.

How would you trigger samples if you're already using all four decks? Or are you talking about triggering programs external to Traktor?

Indeed. Using VST's/Appleton.

Yeah, the thought's definitely intriguing. I have a feeling I'm going to spend a lot of time trying to talk myself out of getting it.

I was just talking about for my own use. I already have a midi controller, but I want a smaller one. At this point I'd rather use the mouse for the few functions I like than break out a controller. The four decks in Traktor and the filters on the Xone are enough for me.

Like I said though it would be great for those wanting to use Ableton etc...
