New Setup For Me: Advice Wanted Please

[BentoSan]

As far as I know, the DJM-800 only does MIDIclock signals?

You might be right there, i only did a quick googling

I believe the DJM-700 is the one with full midi capability....

IDD, taken of the Pioneer product page for the DJM-700:

Fully Assignable MIDI Control
With 49 MIDI assignable knobs, faders & switches, the DJM-700 can be used to control external DJ software, soft synths and au/vst plugins running on a Mac or PC. Together with the new on/off MIDI send control, MIDI data can be turned on & off giving amazing control for the most demanding digital DJ.

By the way, I double checked the DJM-800, and it is supposed to have 61 assignable MIDI controls?
This means that it does not have a MIDI clock only. :eek:
WOW, this mixer certainly has gone up in my book.

Good to know, thanks. I've been messing around with 2 setups that my friends own. One being a Hercules rmx with Scratch Pro & the other being Live 7 with a generic controller with knobs, sliders and triigger buttons.

I must say the sync features make tweaking the tracks more fun and complex. All the sliders and rotary flexibility is great too. But I'm still not used to it. I keep reaching for the jog wheels no matter what haha. I almost feel like I'm cheating though the control over fx and blends seems so much more flexible and complex.
