I have a Great idea for the KONTROL X1 MK3

[Notanon]

Yeah, reintroducing a toggle for hotcues 5-8 would do wonders. Even a proper pitch fader would be nice, though might be more appropriate for something like a S1 module. That said, I did have a X1 Mk3 concept I mocked up in GIMP where the FX buttons and knobs were brought in a little more closer to the centre, with the buttons rotated 90 degrees to be vertical, then just added in the pitchfaders to the left and right where the vacant space was.

Well you can get the flux button to do that. I don't really use flux, but I think I mapped flux to shift+ if I need it

Wait so this thread is about someone having an "idea" ... but they won't say what the said "idea" is?

I think it's about somebody who is full of shit.

What the hell did he eat and why did he eat so much of it?

[Stewe]

It is a display in the touch strip isn't it

[MaxOne]

is it a jog wheel?

Anyone that thinks they can 'patent and idea for a controller' has surely got to be young and green. We all know (us older heads) that that simply isn't how patents work. So from that we can deduce that we have a young guy here that's popped up on the forum and said something naive so - there's been some fun, let's not get too personal or attack him too much.

To the OP: if you have an idea, talk to your father/brother or an elder in your family and get them to explain a little about how patents work. Then you will realise why people are being so dismissive.

And seriously, NI are not going to buy and idea from you or use your idea and pay you a licence fee - they been there before and they fought hard and tough to get out of it.

Just send the email to Ean Golden - remember DJTechTools makes controllers as well.

Yeah, the X1mk2 already does that. And it has pitch controls that are just fine.

I don't understand why people keep wanting to put pitch faders all over every thing. If you don't want to use sync, that's what turntables are for. And it's a better experience than any controller.

Because everybody wants everything on everything until, they want everything removing from everything.

it's called fashion 'darling'.

'it must have jog wheels' - then - 'please remove the jog wheel and use touch strips'
'touch strips are crap, we want screens' - then - 'we want touch screens and touch strips'
'i miss the jog wheels'
'i don't use 4 decks, please make a 2 deck version' - then - 'when is the 4 deck version out'

Can you imagine being the guy that has to read all these emails from people declaring that NI/Pioneer/A&H will "go out of business unless you implement my ideas"

[the_bastet]

For real..... If NI were to make a modular version of the S8 without the mixer section, I would buy 4 of them instantly. jus sayin. But truth. In the end, companies must do what will make them the most $$
