Advice on Vestax for Cross 2.0.1

[gamierge]

Hello Cross users & gurus,
I need your advice on choosing a controller to rig with Cross 2.0.1.
I am hesitating between the Vestax VCI-400 & the Vestax VCI 380.
I am aware that "Slicer" etc are Serato driven...
What are your opinions on these devices and their ability to adapt to Cross environment ?
Thanks for your help.

if you look at Cross 2.0.1 and look at the VCI 400 I think there is no need to write more

one statment made pior to its release was that the vci400 was used to showcase Cross v2 at the music show it was previewed.,,check info on the MIDI mappings avaible for both controllers to help with your choice ,,,,
open your MIDI preferences will give you some of that info

My voice for the 380!
Just look at those pads! You can bash the Word censored (guess you find it I love walking on it) out of it, plus I'm the guy who gets confused by more than 3 faders.

Not shure bout the DVS thru though.

Agreed. My advice... try to go into a DJ shop and try them out, I mean try the feel

Not sure you could light the needles jogs on the VCI380.

Cant really go wrong with either of these choices IMO

What do you mean ?
Do you mean the light on the jogs which indicates where the "needle"/cursor is ?

Thank you all for your replies!

If the cursor/ needle has MIDI output, it can work.

I also thought the beat cycles, if they have a MIDI output that can control that.
