I’ll be honest, I went to NAMM hoping to have an epiphany and meet the perfect controller, alas, I found myself in a sea of mediocrity and finally the only controller that really stood out from the pack was something that was in my hotel room in a box having just arrived from the developer in Europe. The 4midiloop device is probably not for everyone as
it doesn’t have the huge jog wheels (which I hate) which seem to waste so much real estate on everyone else’s controllers, but offers a clear and calculated Traktor inspired layout of knobs, switches, and faders… for not only 2, but 4 decks! The only drawback of the 4midiloop controller could be that it is so Traktor specific that it may have pigeon holed itself, but that aside, for Traktor and other digital DJ’s, this unit offers a (configurable) knob for nearly everything and is prepared for any 4 deck warrior! Warning, this is only a controller, the 4midiloop’er does not have any intergrated audio device so you’ll still need your other pieces of gear, but for intuitively getting inside the beat, this one stands out from the pack!
