As said in another thread, I have been eyeballing the Korg Zero8 for a while now, and everything seemed perfect until I had a real close look at how it is.
Now, to understand why it crushed my dream, let me explain what I want to do with it.
I want to mix both ableton and traktor on the same mixer (8 channels needed), I will be using 2 laptops for this. One will have a soundcards (For Traktor) and the other will use the soundcard in the Zero8, things then get synced via midi. OR when I play both live and dj, I dont have to make any changes directly in outputs etc etc.
Now, I though that this piece of hardware would make me able to use the buttons etc per channel as midi controls as well, but thats where my dream got crushed with having LESS equipment with me. If you are using an external soundcard (Not the internal one) "Line in" you can NOT use the channels knobs etc etc as midi controllers! ARRRRRRRRGH!
I am still going to buy one I think, cause I figured out that I could use the Korg Nano Control for Traktor Pro.
Now my question, would you think I could use 2 times Nano's together with the Mixer? I mean, the Firewire connector will be connected to the OTHER laptop (The Ableton Laptop). That should be possible, right? Since the nano's are so small, I meassured that I will actually not have problems stashing it in my bags which I had thought about bringing along.
Comments, suggestion etc etc are REALLY welcome, as I am thinking of getting the beast within the next few months
