I started a post asking if anyone uses time code in their 4 decks set up. Now I was just wondering what people use to control 4 decks and how they have it set up on a pure midi set up. I want to maybe get a new controller but struggling to see how I'm going to control 4 decks. Obviously people are doing it so if someone could shed some light on the situation that'd be awesome.
I am currently using an external QWERTY keyboard due to the amount of buttons and a nanokontrol for the rotary faders to trigger FX.
What I have mapped to the buttons is; Load deck, play/pause, 5 hot cues, loop in, loop out, loop active, loop size inc and loop size dec.
So thats 12 buttons in total for each deck. The only thing on the market with that amount of buttons is the launchpad. But I have seen people using all sorts of controllers. How are people doing it with such few buttons? All the pad controllers out there have 16 pads. I've seen people using things like the trigger finger to control 4 decks.
Can anyone share some secrets?
Thanks
