Itch 2.0
MAJOR PROS
- Stacked Long Waves
- Awesome Flexible BeatGrids that are VERY easy to grid AND numbered per bar
- Great Library Management
- Sampler SP6 is syncable and Keylocked
Other PROS
- New Sync system much better than previous version
- GUI day and night are very streamlined
- Smart Crates
- Post Fader Effects
- Quality Controllers to choose from
CONS
- Limited FX
- No Midi Mapping currently available (only keyboard shortcuts)
- Can only use authorized controllers. These are great controllers, but not in the category of Xone 4D, and no controller available similar to an X1 where you could use the mixer of your choice
Things to look Forward To
- Possibly midi mapping for the SP6
- Video has been mentioned
- The Bridge, can’t wait to make a demo using the mixtape function
The autogrid detection is good as traktor for the modern songs without tempo variation ? i mean… with traktor most of the modern songs no need to adjust the grid…
yes. just as good or better…and very easy to adjust on the fly if needed. In fact some of the controllers have buttons on them for this. I prefer the Itch grids over Traktors.
i must agree with you on this
i downloaded the itch 2.0 software the other day to mess around and found out how EASY it is to set beatgrids in itch!
Alt+ SPace, hold alt, drag the grid with the mouse, adjust as needed, done, alt space again to exit grid mode, makes the traktor 2 grid system complicated in comparison!
I am really considering getting the twitch just to test drive itch, and perhaps convert back to SSL + vinyl + the bridge if i really like it
