Large Touch-Sensitive Platter Controllers?

[DJ Van Draken]

I'd like a large, high-resolution platter, similar to the EKS OTUS.. but Stanton SCS.1D and Numark NS7 are fine too. I don't care if it's motorized or not, but I do care that it is reasonably priced. In other words, I don't want to spend over $1000 for two MIDI I/O decks!

That's ridiculous! We're not paying for the technology of MIDI I/O. We pay for the ergonomics, physical design, and the low-demand of the products. Electrically, it's not all that complicated in comparison to what you can buy for the same price at Best Buy... i.e. a computer, HDTV, analog stereo system, etc.

Does anyone know where I can get a large, touch-sensitive MIDI I/O platter to add onto my current setup? I don't personally care for time-coded vinyl's setup processes.

how large is large? is the platter on the eks xp-10 too small?

[DJ Van Draken]

Sorry for my poor specification. I'd like a jog wheel with a size between 7" and 12" in diameter. The XP-10 is too small, and I'd also like it to be touch-sensitive.

[charo]

xp-10 is touch sensitive fyi but unfortunately at this point you really don't have many options for a jogwheel in that size...

[DJ Van Draken]

Yeah, it's pretty disappointing. My best bet is probably finding one used or on clearance... until the market starts getting better.

I thought the otus raw was due to come out and around 500$, correct me if I am wrong

I've been talking to EKS about the Raw, that thing is a goddamn mythological creature. One minute they showcase it, the next they say its a prototype. Then they say it will be released in January, now they're saying Spring.

Price point I was told will be $799.

I'm not responding like you said any different but i agree & that's why i wrote at this point...who knows when it will be out.

it would be cool if novation came out with one the same size as the launchpad, teamed up with traktor and offered it at a decent pricepoint

[DJ Van Draken]

The EKS Raw is ideal to me, but at $800.. I might as well get a Numark V7 or NS7 (since I want two platters) and map them to Traktor. $500 is much closer to what I'm thinking.

The NS7 wont work on Traktor I believe, high res MIDI signal on those platters wouldnt be much different than a VCI-300 on Traktor.

The V7 on the otherhand is very comparable to the Otus Raw, dual deck support on one unit, integrated soundcard, etc. Only different between the two is the motorized platter on the V7, the price point is the same though. Im actually tossed up between these two controllers.
