Hey there guys ,
Just wondering i've been considering buying a pair of novation dicers to use for cue points/hot cues..I'm currently using a Kontrol x1 with J - kuts mapping for it which is dope but i was just wondering what else would you suggest the dicers may be usefull for that the X -1 isnt already handling ?
I wish the dicers could mimic the same loop roll function as in serato with the dicers instead of using the knob ..
Any suggestions would be appreciated ..Cheers guys

I personally have a pair of Novation Dicer and i love them. i also use a Urei 1601S battle mixer with a 2 channel sampler built in. It lets me do a lot of cool things.
I have not personally used the kontrol X1 but i bet it does a lot of nice things on the fly.
The Novation Dicer was made for mostly doing small things like looping things, using 5 different positions at your disposal per side, and it lets you use 5 different fxs at any time per side.
All of the buttons are able to be re-configured as many times as you want.
You can customize these dicer's to what ever you want 15 different things on each Dicer. I hope this little info has helped you in any way.

Thanks for the reply

quote - and it lets you use 5 different fxs at any time per side. ?

Does that mean you can save pre set FX'x to buttons to trigger without having to scroll through the FX menu ?

Sorry could you explain how this works ? Sounds like there's a FX feature similar to traktor and serato im missing :lol:
