The only way to know if you need more buttons is when you need more buttons

I think i might go with the Behringer CMD MM-1, 2 Kontrol X1's (Or Kontrol F1s?) and maybe a Maschine? (Maschine Mikro?)

I think MM1 + 2 * X1's is a very good (and portable!) setup. If you just want extra buttons to MIDI map, I'd rather look at a Novation Launchpad instead of a Maschine. Maschine is an awesome piece of kit, but just using it for the buttons is throwing away a lot of money really.

Edit: keep in mind, the MM-1 is probably only coming out in a month. But in the meanwhile, you can easily map some of the encoders on the X1 for mixer functionality. Actually, I've recently done a gig with nothing more but one X1, as the mixer in the venue was broken. Kept it basic, but it worked. So having just 2 X1's will keep you going for a while.

Thats true Stephan, i would be wasting 600 bucks on just buttons...

The thing is i dont wanna downgrade, since im selling my technics 1200's and getting new equipment.

I was thinking to maybe have the MM1 + 2 X1's and even maybe 2 F1's?

Does anyone know if the F1's are midi mappable?

**StephanV** · 05-25-2012, 09:38 AM

Yes, the F1 does have midi functionality. The advantage of having a modular setup is that you don't need to buy everything at once. You could just start out with, say, an X1 and an F1, and add another X1 and F1 later on if you feel you need it.
