Behringer CMD Series

The changes we're making to to CMD are all about look and feel. So the hard buttons are replaced with rubber.

nice sounds like a good update. can't wait for these controllers

No new knobs are going to be added to any of the units. The MM-1 already has 4 knobs in each channel strip, so it will support a 3 band EQ and filter or gain knob if you'd like. But the Studio 4a layout says as-is.

See your point on MM-1 and understand why A2 layout didn't change. That one knob isn't big deal because filter can be used at effect section when needed.

Mixer is wanted too it's only the matter that I need more controls and nice jogs first. BCD3000 user.

The changes we're making to to CMD are all about look and feel. So the hard buttons are replaced with rubber. The industrial design has been changed slightly. The firmware for a couple of the units are changing to add functionality (like 14bit pitch faders for the Studio 4a).

And that bit about changing to blue LEDs is also correct. The LED indicator colors have changed (especially on the LC-1).

Soft buttons are nice!

Personally, a big draw for me for the MM-1 was the 4 knobs so I can do 3 EQs + 1 Filter for each channel. Any changes for the PL-1?

Any changes for the PL-1?

Not besides the same ID re-work that ALL of the CMD controllers are getting.

[DjPawwa]

the play/cue button on the pl-1 are rubber button or hard plastic button? (sorry for my english, hope you will understand it)

[nem0nic]

All buttons on the CMD controllers will change from the hard plastic we had at NAMM and PLS to rubber buttons.

Oh man....Who on earth is responsible for the "change to Rubber" button decision...

Rubber buttons are like automatic latency.....

Not to mention that it emulates old skool technology from the mid 90s.

Its literally impossible to get any rapid button presses with any accuracy when using rubber buttons, PERIOD.

Nice Berhinger....you went from being Flagship cool....to Fisher Price old school.....

*cough bullshit cough* That TOTALLY depends on the Rubber Buttons that are being used...

Sure granted the old denon CD decks for example had horrible rubber buttons, but the Akai APC's have very responsive ones that you can slam on, and depend on all night as do many other controllers, Twitch/S4/S2/F1/Reloop/A&H K2 ...among others.

There are some horribly bad hard buttons as well - would you prefer they used ones like the Hercules RMX?? I cant complain on the reliability level, but for juggling absolutely useless and pretty much SUCKED for anything apart from straight up mixing.

You seem to be of the idea that rubber automatically means those nasty squishy buttons you had to press twice to get the right number on the screen like that Casio calculator you had in high school

Open your mind a bit - plenty of the biggest DJ's in the world don't have a response problem with rubber buttons including our very own Mr. Golden.
