input needed for set up (bcr, nanopad)

Hey everyone, long time lurker but finally registered

I have a bcr2000 already that i use with ableton but want to make the switch to traktor pro. I would like to use the bcr for all mixing and fx, and then get a korg nanopad for transporting/looping, etc...


It sounds too good to be true so wanted to get some opinions, such as will the midi programming be a bitch? will i have to use bomes?

The bcr has a ton of knobs which would be perfect for internal mixing/fxs
and the korg nanopad can be set up with different midi pages. so page 1 could be basic transport controls, page 2 could be for cue juggling

the bcr is roughly $120 (just say a b-stock model for $70) and is pretty solid
the nanopad is around $60
lot of control for not a lot of money :D

You need to talk to Tekki, he know alot about the BCR

Well, just to give you a short idea, I control two decks in Traktor DJ Studio with the BCR.

I am able to manage transport, beatmatching, crossfading, loco-fading(crazy fast crossfading) and loop control within one preset of the BCR.

May not look like enough at first, but I am building my skills and MIDImapping one step at a time. I still have quite some knobs and buttons left that I can remap to FX.
(However, I am more keen to leave these knobs and keys for a few VSTfxs within Ableton.)

This setup has made me look away from vinyl, which I would have never deemed possible. ;)

My recommendation would be, first try the BCR in Traktor. If you have tried it sufficiently and still think you need extra control, you can always add a Nanopadd to your setup.

ah yea i remember seeing your mappings now
i come from ableton too, and now want to try traktor

cool, looks like its going to be possible

For me it works perfectly. I hope it does for you too!

is the nanopad out yet?

I think so. Not to sure about it though. (I have seen it at some webshops, but have not continued reading, if it was pre-order or not.)
