| It' all about the layout and build quality and Vestex got them both right. To be honest when I first saw this I thought the $900 price tag was just too good to be true, I'd happily buy this even if it was $1500. For Ableton users this will be the only controller needed for years to come. |

| For that kind of money, you might as well just buy a real mixer :crazy: |

| If it's as solid as their other products, I will buy one the day it's out. |

It has the same quality as their other controllers. Apparently Vestex is the only manufacture who realizes that midi controllers too need to have a high quality construction. Just because you want to move to digital shouldn't mean that you have to deal with crappy knobs and faders. |

| Unless its metal and really incredibly well made, I think that its obscenely expensive. Probably even then would only be worth $400 IMO. But I do appreciate that finally someone has made the effort to make a decent ableton controller. |

It is metal and very well made. Vestax has always put out products with good build quality. |

I demoed this last week in Madison. I will be purchasing one, and actually debated trying to pre-order it.
Rock solid build quality, everything, EVERYTHING is fully assignable.
Hello digital is what I say.  |

Well, thats to their credit, still seems overpriced though, especially given that you still need a soundcard. Now if they built a 4 channel soundcard in, that would justify the price. |

I would agree with that, but honestly - they put so much effort into creating a decent feeling flexible control surface, the lack of a sound card really felt less painful after playing around with it.
I don't know if it's worth a grand, but I'd probably pay close to that. |

| I'd love to demo it in person before really determining its worth tbh. My gut instict is that it's not worth the price without built-in soundcard, but then again, I'd probably be pretty seduced by the thought of a usable MIDI controller that didn't feel like a toy. |
