Yeah, its pretty cool. The british guy demonstrating it enjoyed talking down to DJs that were interested in it, that was kind of a put-off to all that I talked to. Its a nice, tight little unit from what little I saw. I was just breifly touching base with the most interesting booths today so I plan on exploring it further tomorrow. The built-in monochrome LCD display leaves a bit to be desired but thats to be expected from a small built-in display. You can still optionally use your monitor which is a muchbetter choice. The controller itself is VERY responsive. I'm eager to explore the softwares capabilities. What was demo'd were just the basic cue, pause, play , search type of functions. He spoke of but didnt really demonstrate the advanced capabilities such as looping (grabbing he called it). The auto-pilot was very good with automated mixing and tempo matching.
Theres a microphone input which was touted to make an external mixer an option but the controller has no crossfader which kind of makes it not an option. He told one interested DJ that "I talked to hundreds of DJs during development and you're the only person that thought a crossfader would be useful"
