I have an RMX1000 and love it. I also set about doing my own Inspired-by-Stewe Isolator FX mappings and I actually think that the Traktor solution could actually be better than the RMX1000 if done well. My own basic isolator FX mapping, though not as sophisticated as Setwe's, actually works very nicely and creates very nice subtle to not-so-subtle sounds.

My only issue is that I have yet to come up with good "Release FX" that work by just pressing a button.

I actually it have a few fx mapped to my dicer that give you instant gratification comparable to the Rmx 1000. I was inspired by their release fx and I managed to map a great turntable stop that kills the music and resets any effect you were using before. I plan to release the mapping once I've ironed out some kinks

Off course, I can't know for sure if they will put a lock in there or not but I said that because I wouldn't find myself surprised if they come up with a controller integrated to an isolator FX.

Cool! I'd love to see some short demo vid of your mapping if you don't mind doing that for me.

I made a mode in my CNTRL:R ultimate tool which has build/brake/release effect feature mapped in there. TTFX, Laser Slicer and Transpose are effects I've been using as kill-release function. I'm in the route on doing such mapping for the MIDIfighter Spectra BTW.

i might know what ni will come up with next. but i also might not.it´ll be something similar to the dj mouse from djtech

^^^^100% agree with this. I already have more cheap controllers than I need; even if NI opened up remix decks I'd still have enough buttons and knobs left over to fight the next fucking war on terrorism. I love Traktor but between the library and the controller manager it feels like I'm editing spreadsheets rather than playing music. I realize Controller Manager is a taller order to fix but some basic controls could make things a lot easier. But the library is inexcusable for software as mature as Traktor -- Serato has shown us that this can actually be done right.
