That is fucking ugly. Looks like something you would see in a Hospital ward.

I like it - looks like it should be attached to Darth Vader's breastplate

Or sitting next to a black VCI with the green knobs and faders.

Wow. Maybe starwars fans will go crazy after these controllers come out and there will be none left for us!?!?

Is NI at this show? After seeing the Numark V7 they need to jump on the 14 bit Midi train. I don't think i'll buy another set of turntables if Traktor supported this bad boy. I really like the idea behind the new Rane mixer. 2 USB cables, it's a great idea. It'd be nice if this was an option for individual 2 channel mixers. Like if 2 DJs could hook up 2 TTM57SL's to the same laptop.

I'm not gonna lie that looks F'ing amazing! It's exactly what im looking for in a midi controller. I'd like to hear more about it. Especially how the jog wheels feel and the quality of sound. Also, I know the mapping will never be as intuitive as the VCI 100 SE and I'm not smart enought to make a great mapping like Ean haha. But man I know that Vestax sponsers Ean so if they ever made a 4 deck midi controller I know DJ Techtools would be all over a great mapping for it. I give it one more year and I'd say Vestax will have one and they will sell like hot cakes...

Only problem I can see with this controller is that it might be a bit wide to fit in some DJ Booths and all the controls may be a bit crammed. A shift button would deffinitly give some room for even more control. Overall tho I like the look and from what I can see it seems pretty well built.

this controller is great!

have to wait and see what the pricing is like, but i'm gonna get one if the price is right.
