This guy traded me his NS7 for my two 1200 mk2 turntables and 100
bucks. My turntables were pretty beat up, haven't used them in a while and have them just sitting there collecting dust . The NS7 has some miles on it, the guy gigs with it every weekend....but man it works great!
My thoughts: its definetly a mix between a controller and turntables. In its case its heavy as fuck! Not something I would want to lug around all the time--- I think other than scratching and having the tactile feel of "real" gear the VCI + Traktor smokes it as far as funtionality and options. The spinning platters are fun though. The play and cue buttons don't have the best response time....the hotcues do. (this could be because I haven't calibrated it??) The FX's are weak in comparison to TP, but the Delay, Echo and the Filters all worked well though.
There's sooooooo much more I can do with the VCI ---- but oddly enough
I like the set up. Itch doesn't have actual "sync" so you have to beatmatch and the simplicity of the program keeps me "in the mix" so to speak. Gonna give this thing a try for a while. Just wish Traktor/NI supported the NS7 it would a bad ass combo.
