Hey all

There is a new controller due out on the 1st Nov 2009 by novation primarly it is a ableton controller
However this will be able to be mapped to mixvibes using MIDI learn
will be great for launching samples, hot cues, looping etc
and at $200 US cant really go wrong

Looks mad, and for that price!
(+ the Aus $ & Can $ is great against US $ ATM)
Awesome 4 ableton + never seen so many assignable controls on a MIDI interface yet! nice find

I'm excited about this controller i really love the novation gear

yeah , ive been waiting for a controller with more flexibility, and more mappable buttons - and looks like this could be the key.

Brilliant piece of hardware for production and playing your own tracks live. But if you want to DJ with live I recommend the UC-33e controller. This one gives your more opportunities imho.

P.S.: Nevertheless a top controller!!!

This i good for a real live set... doesn't look like a Great DJ controller; Unkless you want to play a sert made entirely of small clips, which i alredy tried but gets very wearing after 30mins for the DJ and the audience.

I'm not convinced about the price either 200 for a few MIDI pads. this iqs neither a professional gear pricing, nor a cheap MIDI pricing. I suspect this product to not be ultra sturdy and maybe loose some pads after a few months... just an impression

I guess at the end of the day it comes down to what you as a DJ want to control and how it will allow you to make your sets individual no one like a DJ just playing track to track
well i dont any way find it boring.
i have both a uc33 and remote zero sl and i love both controllers but both really lack mappable buttons and being an ableton user in conjuction with mixvibes this will really assist me! but thats just me everyone has different needs when it comes to MIDI
