My S2 performance routine & review

[Zaniac]

You have got the midas touch

So when you say you were switching between native and midi you mean that you wouldn't have had to on an s4 haha....maybe Im wrong or I didn't catch what I thought you were doing.

Oh no. Sorry. What I meant to say was that in midi mode I have a whole custom rack of transition effects.

1. Delay to echo out
2. Sweep & Drama effect
3. Beatmasher with Reverb combo
4. Faux Timestretch as seen on the end of the routine (beatmaster in advanced with some specific settings).

So even if I had used the S4 I would still need to hotswitch out to get to those custom effects or create a really complex native mode mapping.

Wow. Thanks.

nice pics. whats cameras did you use?

I use a canon t2i with a tamron 17-55 2.8 lens. I also used a 50mm prime 1.8 for some of the beauty shots.

The images you see on the board are screengrabs from the video file.

I hope NI pays you because you almost convinced me to buy an s2, and I sold my s4 for a mixer and turntables, haha.

Right after I said that I went back and watched the video more closely and saw those effects being used....I thought you were mapping the sample decks to something but realized thats built in the mapping....I'll watch it again but basically your transitions are based on one knob controlling 3 parameters?

Yeah. It also controls and activates the echo out. It's a combo that I designed a while back. Look it up on my YouTube, under create swee drama effects. I show you how to map it out in detail in that video.

Nice review, i think at this point if you want 2 deck controller best thing to get would be s2. I want to upgrade to 4 deck tho, as I have a 2 deck controller. Vci-400 or S4, will decide soon lol.
