What do you think the new DJTechTools controller is going to be ??

^^^ yeah true, ean usually develops a bigger controller with other companies. i hope it is a mixer because i would be interested

i agree with MrPopinjay. When creating something complex DJTT usually works as advisers to a larger company who do all of the manufacturing. see Novation Twitch, Kontrol S4 and S2.
History shows that when DJTT design and manufacture something themselves its the simple but effective use of buttons and knobs. ie midi-fighter/pro's etc.

when you look at the progression from the original mf, you can see the product design becoming more and more on level with bigger companies. way i understand it this will be an entirely in house djtt product. no outside influence, or product development.

A midifighter that changes like a transformer when you find the combo

Yes but all the parts are readily available parts, nothing is custom made at all. They don't have the money to get a factory churning out custom bits of plastic, they are doing exactly what you or I could do and then sticking them together by hand.

yeah but when you look at their current level of product development the only thing that has to be specially produced is the circuit boards everything else is off the shelves, all the other stuff will come later in development i said they are nearly there

interesting. i still dont think it will be overly elaborate. DJTT's whole reputation relies on having products that will sell. They cant afford (financially or otherwise) for any of their products not to sell and i think the more technical their products the bigger the gamble.

Having said that a big gamble that pays off could provide the finances they are looking for!!

Maybe a midi-only mixer?

a real mixer or a midi mixer? i wouldn't have thought they'd venture into the audio path side of things.

i'd expect some next iteration midifighter type of controller with a higher ratio of pots+faders to arcade buttons compared to the mfp's.

Are the sanwa clear arcade buttons not custom? The 45 mm bourns faders on the pros might not be custom but can't be got by you or me unless we want hundreds direct from the factory with a 15 week lead time

defiantly a midi mixer don't think the have the cash to run into soundcard's or audio yet

midi mixer, it would be stupid to go into the audio path now because you will close down the market for your average digital dj, unless it had a soundcard built in
