    Default Additional Controller to add to S4 and Midifighter

    Hi

    Im looking for some advice, I already have an S4 and a midi fighter classic set to instant grat mode, but Im contemplating adding to my set up to control effects 3/4 and the sample decks.

    Im contemplating an X1 but was wondering if anyone could suggest alternatives...

    Ipad with TouchOsc templates and X1.
    With the midi fighter, those are probably the best add-ons.

    There’s also an almost hermetic community that exists in many areas of dance music, where serious hobbyists feed off each other’s expertise but barely connect to the industry – despite many of those involved actually working in it.

    I just tried a new mapping which rendered my midi fighter redundant due to the use of 2 effects, must say I enjoyed mixing with it... the x1 would be useful for filters on the sample decks in this case

    S4, MF and X1 are a fantastic combo!!! I used my X1 mainly for sample deck control and it worked out great.

    Does that free up the sample decks on the S4 to use as cue points... tbh Im more interested in controlling more fx units :/

    It can if that's how you choose to map the X1.

    Have you thought about using a Korg Kaoss Pad?http://www.korg.com/products.aspx?ct=95
    I don't have one, but am really interested in them. Anyone have any input about that?

    Using a Kaoss Pad ain't the best idea with the S4 since you are plugging it on the master out (unless you get an external soundcard).


    Get an X1 or a LPD8

    I've looked at the X1, but already have an S4, and feel I have enough kontrol (if you'll excuse the pun..). And I do have an external DJ|io, so maybe that'd work, I'll look into it. I just thought the Kaoss Pad's looked neat and seemed to give more fx options.
    I also just discovered the MIDI Fighter, being a new member to DJTT. Might research that a bit.
