Akai AFX is NOT a substitute for SL/DS1 because it won't "unlock" Serato DJ but it will control cue points, loops, fxs, etc. so it will be a good pair with CDJ's in HID mode and SL/DS box.
You get Serato DJ licence with all of the above hardware (AMX, SL2, DS1) but with SL/DS you get DVS straight away (if you wanna mix with TT's & timecode vinyl) while for AMX you can purchase the DVS add-on for 99$ later.
