digimixer
Just got mine delivered yesterday.
I ordered from an Ebay Shop from the USA (i'm in the uk), cost me £160 including delivery, as opposed to £230
The unit feels very solid, the controls are much ergonimcally spaced compared to the DJ console, and it looks much more professional.
It's still not quite as professional as your average conventional Decks, but it's almost there!
I've only played a few mins with it Connected to VDJ, but initial impressions are good.
Love being able to choose & adjust effects straight from the NTC, as well as samples.
I actually find the Track selection control (a wheel) very nice to use with the dedicated buttons to allow to load to which ever deck you want. The Hercules console offered similar but it was just too awkward.
As mentioned in previous posts, the VDJ gui seems to delay in showing where the sliders, crossfaders are compared to reality, but the delay is visual only, no delays are applied to the actual actions.
The slider heads are plastic, feel a little cheap and the slider arms are easily bent, i bent mine when pulling the slider head off.
Also, please beware when placing the NTC back into the packaged polystyrene, you need to make sure that the extereme left & right sliders are in the correct position other wise you'll bend them !
Sorry, not a very indepth analysis, but as the subject says, just an initial impression. On the whole, very pleased with my purchase !
