The facebook laptop will be a mac so it can handle both.

No, I like the design. I just mean I've never felt a more flimsy piece of junk. Those knobs feel AWFUL. I really really do not feel they are worth the money at all. I can't want until someone makes a better mixer style controller.

On a more serious note, do you know exactly how you want to map these? I wouldn't buy anything before you are sure how you are going to use it.

Ahh, I'm actually working on that right now... It's going to be a loooong process, So far I've broken it down... One Nocturn for each Launchpad, FX presets/combos, each button goes to a different FX, one for EQ/Gain control. That or maybe two Livid Codes....

Oh man I'd totally forgotten about the livid code. I want one now. D:

That'll be a mapping hell... First you have about 32 knobs to map and then multiply that by 14... And then you also have to map all the pushed knobs. You only really need to map it once though.

Multiplied by 14? How come?

**Coldfuzion** · 03-27-2011, 10:19 PM

What the fuck is this?

You've tried a nanoKontrol? those are shitty knobs/faders

**MrPopinjay** · 03-27-2011, 10:21 PM

The difference is that the nanokontrol is much cheaper and isn't pretending to be a piece of kit which will be taking a lot of punishment. Mixers should be tough!

+ I honestly think the nanokontrol has nicer feeling knobs than the xsession.
