Zomo MC-1000 Video Review

As promised, here’s my video review (and mapping talkthrough) for the Zomo MC-1000 :slight_smile:

nice review & vid mate. extra points for the djtt cable :slight_smile:

Haha cheers :smiley: Felt like overkill when I bought 3 of them, but they really are quite nice :stuck_out_tongue:

The little Velcro tie thing is very handy, plus the double ferrite core == win :wink:

Your mapping is nice but a little to much for me, lol! Nice review though I agree the unit is solid.

:smiley: It’s not as complicated as it looks tbh, once you spend about 5-10 minutes using it it becomes second nature :slight_smile: Gonna modify it to use depression of the center rotary encoder as a “hold shift” for basic transport functions (cue, play/pause, jog turn, track posititon, delete cuepoints, etc) :slight_smile:

Great review. You have made me want one…

MDC any chance of the mapping for the Zomo please? Just picked one up and the map you are using looks great.

I am not to upto speed with mapping in traktor and wondered if it would be possible to alter the map to use shift + hotcues to access additional hotcues (4 to 6) whilst using another button (sync maybe) +hotcues as a delete?

I’ve just modified the mapping (Deck A only, for now - mapping the others is time-consuming haha) to offer all 8 cuepoints in both Normal Mode and Shift Mode, as well as a few other little goodies. :slight_smile:

And where can I get my grubby mits on it?

Haha :smiley: Gimme a couple of hours, I’ll finish the mapping up and upload it :slight_smile:

cool new toy arrives today with some other goodies:drooling_face:

Here we go!

A basic rundown:

There are two shift keys on the mapping now; the toggle shift at the bottom, which I’ll refer to as “Shift Mode”, and then a hold-shift on the center encoder. This one gives quick and easy access to the most commonly used controls from each mode in the other.

For example, in normal mode, the Play/Pause button acts as CUP; holding the center encoder and pressing it will Cue instead, allowing you to start/reset the track easily. The opposite applies in Shift Mode.

Center encoder + Loop encoder depress will Play/Stop the track also, at the current track position.

In shift mode, hotcues 1-3 are as expected. Hotcue 4 is Sync, hotcues 5-8 are FX buttons 1-4. Holding the center encoder and pressing them while in shift mode will delete the hotcues.

In NORMAL mode, hotcues 1-3 are activated with the bottom 3 buttons. 4-8 are the same as in shift mode, but while holding the center encoder.

The grid adjustment modifier has been moved from Sync to Load A (for A/C) and Load B (for B/D); this only works in Shift Mode, and was changed to free up Sync for hotcue usage.

The rest of it is pretty much the same, if I remember rightly… oh; the FX select modifier is now a depress of the center encoder as well, rather than FX button 1; this was changed for the same reason as above.

If you notice ANY problems, please let me know and I’ll fix 'em :slight_smile:

You might want to up it to the Mapping section as well? :wink:

Added here :slight_smile: Zomo MC-1000 Advanced Mapping

Excellent, I just hope it will show up at this section automatically as well. :smiley:

But thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

Lmao! Didn’t even know that existed, I’ll upload it there once I’m back on my main PC :slight_smile:

Aaaaaand done :smiley:

It’s taking ALL of my will power not to buy one of these… :rage:

Doooooo it :smiley:

I just ordered the PMK-3 mount kit to place it behind the mixer:

Oh I’ll be getting the PMK-3 if I get the MC-1000…
