Jazzmutant Lemur & Traktor Video.

No additional setup is required- so you can simply get back into the mix and go on as nothing happend.
As a TouchOSC-User and a Lemur-owner I have to say the switch was rather drastic. The TouchOSC is just a controller-surface, the Lemur allows you to build scripts (more like programs) including elements like "multi-balls", which are multiple XY-Pads combined with a physics engine. Faders are working in physics mode as well, so that you can flick the and they keep running based on adjustable friction-levels. And thats just scratching the surface and needing a few minutes like configuring the traktor.

The price is steep, but you my as well get lucky on craigslist/ebay.
I would go so far as to say the only thing I wouldn't recommend the lemur for is beatjuggeling, as I grew attached to the rubbery feel of pads. Tapping on the lemur is possible, but I just need the click there.

Completely agree. They are really pricey, but considering the amount of different configurations, nearly unlimited, it can be purchased knowing that it could replace most of your gear if you wanted it to.

and as Tigris said, beatjuggling on it doesn't have the same feel as on pads. It's not like it's not built strong, but there is something about mashing on something that seems like it would be more delicate than drum pads that gets to you.

i really don't understand why people use knobs on a lemur. you can just use faders, which you can control easily with one finger and which are easier to adjust than the virtual knobs.
