Does anyone know if the MM-1 knobs have center indents? ---

Just had a quick question about using a mixer with, say, an X1 or that CMD MM-1. How do you pitch bend with no jog wheel? Do you just sync the whole time? ---

An X1 and mixer setup would rely on sync yes. I’d guess the MM-1 would have center indents as it’s being pushed specifically as a mixer, rather than a generic midi device. ---

X1 encoders can be re-mapped for pitchbanding too. ---

How about the BCR2000? I used that before going with an APC40…wouldn’t that work for a mixer? ---

The intent of this mixer isn’t actually mixing. It’s for full control over the effects parameters (Channel faders for D/W and the 3 EQ knobs for the 3 different effect parameters per effects deck. People will probably say that the MM-1 is overkill to only use for effects but I think it will be a fun hands-on way for 2 people to DJ together (With my buddy handling mixing and me the effects, then us swapping places every few songs). ---
