Yeah thats all true but i guess if your assigning the FX Channels to Traktor FX it doesnt really matter that you cant access the Korg FX.
You still have the master FX.

What ive been wondering is that if you are only using 2 decks (lets say channels 1 & 4 on the korg for Decks A & B on Traktor) whether you can assign the knobs on channels 3 & 4 to Midi controls for Decks A & B ? They are on Midi Channels 2 & 3 but that doesnt matter as long as the correct Midi CC Type and Number are set.

That would mean that you could have endless control over 2 Decks which would be great for my DVS setup as i only use 2 decks with timecode.

I use a Faderfox DX for loop functions when im using Timecode but it would be cool to be inventive with the Korg so i didnt have to use the DX2.

Gonna have to hit the Traktor Bible hard to sort this.

I think you meant korg channels 2 & 3 to A & B, cause you did say midi channel 2 & 3 which would be the korgs channel 2 & 3. Absolutely. 2 deck systems would be more than enough controls to use 1 and 4 as audio/midi and 2 & 3 as midi only to control almost everything else that would be needed. On a side note, the FX type knob also spits out midi, but it's a SYSEX message that isn't used by most programs, but could be translated into usefulness with Bomes.

Hmm, yeah i was thinking using Korg channels 1 and 4 for Decks A & B in Audio Mode cus im using timecode DVS (thats what im doing now) and then use Korg Channels 2 & 3 in full Midi mode for so that Korg channel 2 is the Midi controller for assignments related to Deck A and Korg channel 3 is the Midi controller for Deck B.

Doing that means i still have the Korg FX on each of the 2 Audio channels 1&4 and that 2&3 are full Midi channels.

I like to work inwards , would usually have Turntables on 1 & 4 and CDJs on 2 & 3.

Its all pie in the sky at the moment. Im so busy i havent got time to scratch my ass never mind get into all this.

Bomes, now thats something i have no experience with but im up for it... eventually!!!!

Hey, thanks for your answers. I take the opportunity to ask you:

Wich would you choose?

Setup 1 - Traktor Pro + M-Audio Firewire 410 + A&H Xone:1D + 4Channel mixer between 500 and 600 euros.
Setup 2 - Traktor Pro + Korg Zero4 + Akai LPD8

Note that the m-audio and xone 1d in the first setup would be bought on second hand to keep the budget.
