... so... Can Ean beat it? lol. What an amazing looking piece of gear. Excellent layout, creativity and sensibility i say! Is this the next step to the "Ultimate Controller"? Although it's missing just 2 things... Jog wheels

In Moldovers world and for most of the controllerist...jog wheels are its not required.

That would be a waste of room that could be used to fit more midi controls !

I don't think it's a case of can Ean beat it or not...

If you ask me, Ean and Moldover are two completely different controllerists. Bottombasis is, Moldovers use of Ableton and Ean using Traktor.
Moldover truly making live productions/remixes as that Ean is more using techniques that to me are closer to turntablists.

My two cents really.

Dont forget the roller mouse type ball in the middle .. is that what it is ?

Yups, it's a trackball!

I can see why he used a trackball. After a previous post I looked into several different trackpads, trying to figure their pinouts. Unless you harvested the entire control board it was not going to work. Then on top of that you'd have to code software to use the pad. The trackball removes all that work, as it's just basically a upside down ball mouse, that mechanically moves the sensors.

I am only worried, that the large trackball will not have very good sensitivity. Also, when using things like a trackpad or analog joystick, when the control is released, the device snaps back to center. I would really like to see him use the ball in a video.

and I thought the track ball was to play centipede in between sets.
