Some decent prices. I was interested in getting the Akai LDP8 which is only £17 now. I've been looking for a while to get a MIDI controller that will enable me to adjust fx, set loops etc

Any other similar equipment to the above that I should consider? My budget is anything less than £100 really. I don't want anything too complicated seeing as half the time my transitions still sound like a mess!! :rolleyes: :lol:

Wow, when I looked yesterday most hardware prices were reduced and now they are back to normal and not showing as part of the sale. Looks like they corrected their mistake! Sorry about that.

Either way, my question still stands.

Have a look at the Korg nano controllers (nano Pad and nano Kontrol), maybe you are satisfied with them.

Cheers,

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I notice this is on sale too:

This would still work well with the latest version of Cross, right?

I'd love to, but that's still a little bit too pricey at the moment.

Just to help me understand a little, I have a U46MKII v3.0 - could I use the old U-Mix Control alongside that to control other functions in Cross? Or is that a) impossible or b) just generally not a good idea?!

Instead of the DJ Tech Hardware have another look at the U-Mix Control 2 - which is the same as the U-Mix Control Pro but without an audio interface, that you already own. It is additionally cheaper (189€ as far as I have read).

That looks exactly what I want. Best get saving! How much better is this model than the original?

If you mean the DJ Tech U-Mix Control when you say original then it is not comparable because the UMC2 and the U-Mix Control Pro are awesome!

Ok Steve, I'll take your word for it and wait until I can get one of those two.
