couldn't find any threads about this, not sure how long its been around.

Looks like a black version of the omni control with no built in soundcard.
Could be a nice cheap basic midi controller.
Assuming it's not crap. I've heard the total control had nasty construction and the omni control has a bunch of midi issues in traktor.

One of my best mates has the Omni control, it works fine in his bedroom setup using Traktor 3.2. The sound is surprisingly good (to my untrained ears). The Omni was purchased by himself purely because of the cost factor, buying a decent midi control with a separate audio interface soon adds up, especially for something what is purely used for abit of bedroom mixing. The Omni has everything you need (bar headphones and a laptop).

Its nothing like the build quality of my black VCi-100 though... so I'm pretty happy with my choice.

looks nice but a bit squashed up for my liking.

if your truely a bedroom dj like I am then there is no need to buy a external sound card at all...you can buy a cheapo usb sound card to use for cueing and the laptops soundcard can be pluggd to an more powerful speaker system in my case a 4.1 surround sound...works great for me so far

Anyone have any recent feedback on these controllers? I saw one at my local store and thought the size, look, and feel was great.
Thanks

Well,
I`ve got the Total Control, which has the same layout and presumably uses the same hardware, ie. rotaries, faders, buttons etc.

The layout is kind of useful - especially the eight endless rotaries.
The downside is that the built quality really is not too astonishing. After just over a year of use my volume faders start to disintegrate and just don't go smooth anymore. tried some WD40 hoping that it was corrosion but didn't have any success. It was in mild use for about a year and has only seen 2 parties out of the house.

Once I had a firmware issue (which probably is a specific TC issue) but the customerservice was really not able to help me in any way or rather sent me two cryptic emails, after a while could be persuaded to send me a firmware update but then again that didn't help with the problem and sometimes Traktor just does not recognize the control unit. (which never happened with my Nanopad and Nanokontrol)

If you don't need jogwheels but want a soundcard you might consider the Vestax VCM whatever and add a Nanokontrol for extrafx. Shouldn't be that much more expensive.
