Kontrol S8 + single jogwheel dj midi controller: which?

[bascurtiz]

I'm waiting for the Kontrol S8 to come out.
Looks like it got all the bells and whistles I wanna have.
Though... I'd miss a solid scratch option.

So, I'm asking u guys, which single jogwheel dj midi controller would u recommend next to the Kontrol S8?

Atm, I think the DJ Tech CDJ-101 is a great alternative, though I don't have any experience with these units.
Feedback welcome!

I woudn't call those 101's "a solid scratch option", mate... They're only 5" in diameter - very small...

Other suggestions of jogwheel units are welcome!

What about:
-S4 Mk2
-X1 Mk2
-F1

Done!

[bascurtiz]

These S4 MK2 jogwheels are actually smaller than 5".
Bigger = better, if u ask me.

And no displays on the unit itself, which is THE reason I want the S8.

Man, yeah, that's a great question.

Is it safe to reckon the S8 should work with DVS?

[Scalage]

I wouldn't assume it.

Technics 12s if it's scratch certified...

No it's not. Responsiveness is better. Bigger is just preferable.
The jogwheels on the S4 are incomparably better than those on the ones posted above.

[bascurtiz]

I think all the Native Instruments products are better responsiveness-wise with Traktor due the usage of HID.
Tell if i'm wrong.

Anyways, for a bargain of €25 with 3 years warranty, I just ordered 2x CDJ-101 here: http://www.thomann.de/nl/dj_tech_cdj...controller.htm

I'll let u guys know, how they work when I did some testing - To be continued.
