    Hey everybody! its appears that great minds think alike! i was thinking the very same thing! i am planning to have have the APC40 function as two F1 controllers. I am thinking about designing it to require at least a standard 2 deck mixer to go with it.(this will make the tsi smaller and less strenuous on the cpu) I already know this is gonna get IN-TENSE!!! i haven't decided what to call it yet though.... how about........ the Sidecar mapping? ...idk

    If you don't believe it can be done, check out my previous mapping. It might shed some light on the situation...

    Thanks for spreading the word. YOU"RE THE MAN!!!

    I thought it was too good to be true. I read that post a couple of days ago and realized myself that why would NI make all the functions mappable to the general public while trying to sell a new hardware option. Its like anything really, a smart business owner does not release all his/her secrets to the public so they can modify any hardware they want for use with the new software.

    In any event, it was a nice thought while it lasted and although the upgrade to 2.5 is free, to get the real operational use out of a hardware solution you are going to have to fork out for an F1. Boo-urns!

    To tell you the truth, I am starting to shy away from Traktor more and more. They seem to be a little too money hungry for my liking and the proprietary hardware makes me sad panda.

    Use what you got and don't get sucked into the hype of new equipment every 3 months.

    I am thinking of spending extra now, picking up some Denon DN-S3700's and a good mixer with effects. Maybe a DN-X1600 and going old school. This controller business is killing me.

    Love it! Reminds me of drum lessons when the teacher takes away all you "toys", leaving you a snare, kick, tom, hats and a ride. Then he says, "get funky on the that, that's all you need." Stripped down to the basics

    I wonder if the upgrade without the F1 will be any good?

    Sure they will fix some things etc....Hope it is better....

    i don't suppose 2.5 will be much of a biggie if you don't have an F1... that has to be it's main/new feature. i wish vdj8 or "the one" was already out so i could take apply pissedoffness to trying out some other software
