What i like to see is the possibility to store loops in the sample section which can handle more than 4 beats....
So i can program acapella's for instance with beatlock

Loops aren't limited to 4 beats - if you have a track currently looped when you record the sample it uses that loop length.

Because no body reads the manual ...
pg 44 ...
"To record a circular (looping) sample, use the deck’s loop control to set the loop then click the “Loop” button on the bottom of the sample cell. The loop is automatically recorded to that sample cell and ready for immediate use.
If the “Loop” button is clicked without defining a loop using the deck controls, a 4 beat loop is automatically recorded."

In built EQ/Kills on the sampler section would be very useful..or can I do that already? I ponder.....play from deck with EQ already adjusted with VDJ internal mixer and get a recorded EQ' version of that sample? hmmmm...will have to try that! :-)

Rubbish!...yer EQ on sampler please.

Use a triple output sound card and run the sampler to it's own channel on a mixer. Far more flexibility :)

Doing that with Timecode but I often use 2 or more sample to spice up dull transitions. Effects are cool but making good use of the auto matched samples is a good way to hype a crowed....+ it makes me sound like a god!! haha I was accused of just playing a DMC mix's saturday night cos mixing / remixing like that cant be done live...a great compliment I thought!! Ok..it was rehearsed..but still. :-)
Anywho, with EQ's on each sample output I feel I could push it further before its sound messy.

ok then.... let me put one more in:
IS it necessary to take a sample at each bpm (and save it) to use the sample in its original pitch, because the pitch is shifting along with the bpm change....
or am i overlooking some page again?

Yup, but controlling multiple EQs on multiple samples would become messy. The best solution would probably be to have dual sampler outputs, so you could do a 4ch output to two seperate channels on a mixer for decks, and 2 for sampler.
Or more decks.
This is where software like Ableton and Mixmeister come into their own.

You are correct, sampler output is pitch shifted rather than time stretched.

Yeah, that would probably be asking a bit much of most people's computers to have 12 independently-running timestretch engines for the sampler!
