Allen & Heath DX ...?

[Karlos Santos]

Itch 2 should be coming out, and supposedly with effects. I wouldn't rule that out with DX either.

Yeah this is not coincidence .
Itch 2 and A&H DX at the same time.

Totally aimed at the Traktor Pro/Vestax VCI 100 market.
If it does have a soundcard then it will be a serious combo.
That is of course if Itch 2 is actually any good as its got a lot to live up to against Traktor pro.


I still think those 4 buttons at the bottom are to select which deck is controlled not like the 4 buttons on the VCI.

So you could toggle any deck to either side of the controller.

Looks interesting guys. I was on the site comparing mixers and saw this. I'm getting a new controller in 6 weeks so if this turns out to be a good 'un i might get one. wait and see eh.

Sorry to dig this up from a couple of pages down but I'm really excited about this controller and just realised I won't be able to make BPM on the Saturday now.

Could someone who's going give us a bit of an update in the evening maybe with some more details??

I guess A&H will most likely put some more info online on Saturday too but I don't want to leave anything to chance as I'm DESPERATE to know more

Cheers guys

No worries about digging this up jon.

We're excited too!

this controller looks very promising... the only thing holding it back is the crappy jog dials (compared to the vci-100)

i see this as a midi controller and mixer hybrid, with an integrated sound card - made for traktor pro, and the new 4 fx banks.

my attempt at a mock-up of what i'd like to see:

forgot to add the pitch faders, and the big blue cue pause, and cue play buttons as pretty obvious from the teaser image provided from A&H.

Nice picture but I think you got it wrong...

According to decks it is an itch controller so it will be 2 decks, and therefore 2 channel soundcard as well.

Looks like something very similar to a vci300 to me, although it should still make a good tPro controller.

take another look at the teaser pic, to me i see 4 upfaders...



the xone 4d is traktor scratch certified, i dont see why this wouldn't be either. Allen & Heath currently support traktor & ableton. Itch could be added to this list as well, but i see this as a dedicated traktor pro controller.

These are just my speculations, definitely interested in seeing the real unveling...

i'd like one of these but increasingly i'm enjoying playing with itch more than with traktor, the stability and responsiveness are key for me.....i tend to make mixes at home using traktor and play out using itch so i think it's unlikely that i'll be trading in my VCI300 for this - the only thing that could make me change my mind would be if it has a very punchy soundcard in it, which is the one thing that's lacking in the VCI.

Lets hope that its not a propriatory unit that requires a third party software to translate midi, that only Serato understands.

I would have bought the Rane TTM 57 SL months ago if it werent for the ridiculous propriotory nature of this unit.

And dont even get me started on the Stanton SCS....
