Nice. That is a really, REALLY nice set-up.

[elohyspoissonpilote]

Thanks, i’m a little bit proud of it
I see that you have a Zomo MC 1000. Tat’s what i had just before buying the TK X1 and change my soundcard by NI audio 8.
I was really satisfied of it. I began digital control mixing with it and it was a very good coltroller with such a good price (99€ ) for a 4 channels controller and soundcard. I keep it in case of.

The link for the mix is released with the Zomo (not use hte X1) and with APC40 MK2 (before Push came)

Thats real pretty. Diggin it.

I LOVE my MC-1000. Absolutely PERFECT companion for a 4-channel mixer.

I’ve thought a lot about what I’ll replace it with if/when it breaks. I was seriously thinking about the X1 MK2 or the Pio DDJ-SB1, but, honestly, I think I’d get another MC-1000.

With the cost of them at the moment, I’m even considering buying one to keep as a spare!!!

That’s why a keep it. in case of.. . I think this controller have been a lot underestimated (wich maybe lower the price).
Youcan find a maaping for using the 4 effect in single mode on the Dj techtools mapping under my name (Poisson Pilote) but maybe you saw it already.

[Patch]

It is definitely the most under-rated controller out there. The designers deserve a medal. It is the perfect controller for Traktor - just add a 4-channel mixer and you’ve got the best of both worlds (hardware + software).

I’ll check out your mapping, but to be honest, my own combined Dicer + MC-1000 mapping is tailored perfectly for my own use (I use Dicers for cue points - so that’s freed up the buttons on the MC-1000 for my own use…)

[elohyspoissonpilote]

Far from me to idea to think that my mapping is better than everything. It just answer to people who want to control the four effect units with the MC1000 and I was a newbie in mapping creation when i did this. If you’re Ok with your settings, don’t change anything (we use to say that "better " is sometime enemy from “good”).

[DJHiTS]

That is what a true dream setup looks like… wow I’m jealous haha

[A_Man_From_Siberia]

nice setup! xone62 looks like a tank

[elohyspoissonpilote]

@A_Man_From_Siberia

nice setup! xone62 looks like a tank

Its not look like a tank…It’s a tank at different levels:
As big as a 92
Sounds incredibly terrible (english building version)
very solid
Well, a very good mixer

[elohyspoissonpilote]

Small évolution on the set up. I replaced my old b&W speaker and my Samson Amplfier by a pair or KRK Rokit 5 for the very small prices of…51€. (50€ for the speakers wich were sold with a big electric buzz when powering on, and 1€ for the 2 capacitors that I replaced for everything come back to normal running.)

Nice setup did the same with my lsr2305… got them for 100$ because of a hum… after a new trs jack and a capacitor everything works like new.

Btw i also have and love my mc-1000… might try your mapping for effects since I already use dn-s3700’s for controlling the decks.

[elohyspoissonpilote]

Some small updates in my set up.
Would you find it?

zomo mc-1000

its all anyone would ever need

[elohyspoissonpilote]

I still get it, keep it as a spare unit.

[elohyspoissonpilote]

Today, I had bif opportunity to make a “30” upgrade, moving from XONE62 to XONE92, and I took it.
So now I think muy set up is complete.
Just finish a session of mapping updates to get all the controls I want right under my fingers.

[Patch]

Is that hub powered or non-powered?

[elohyspoissonpilote]

It’s powered.

Looks good, man.
