the Deckadance 2 speculation thread

Why does the video make you worried about stability?

You can't tell anything from an alpha release.

I think it's more the guy that's describing it. He comes across a bit.. Conman-ish in how he presents the product. Also VST compatibility is a train wreck waiting to happen! I'm still psyched to try it though, I just have bad memories of deckadance.

Looks interesting...

Yep. And even if you were just evaluating the current alpha version I still didn't spot anything. I'm curious as to what they saw that I didn't.

Well he did say that they only just received the alpha release a couple days before NAMM, so obviously he wasn't completely comfortable talking about the software.

But then... if the software is still in alpha phase, but the CMDs are due to ship soon... does this mean more delay? Or an extremely rushed alpha and beta phase? My feeling is that this software is what's been holding the CMDs up, and why Behringer still can't give a solid release date. The units are ready to go, but the software isn't?

Yeah I was thinking that. But if you get a controller, and comes with a program, even if it is just the LE version, you expect it to work flawlessly, otherwise it reflects bad on the whole package, even if the controller is fantastic.

I've got a chub for those isolated effects though. Oh man I've wanted that in Traktor for so long. (Without the crazy deck duplication thing)

what about the information that only difference between the the deckadance LE & full version will be that the LE's are locked to the hardware?

Gross Beat was a pretty cool app/effect/utilty. Great idea incorporating it into Deckadance.

That's actually not a bad a idea. Serato call that the full version!
