A question for the midi tech heads. Is is possible to have multiple controllers controlling a single instance of VDJ, i.e. could I have my RMX controlling it as well as a midi keyboard sending functions?

Yes you can, I run the MK2 along with an X Session.

As above, I run a controller (DAC-3 or HC4500) along with an Ecler Evo 5 :)

I noticed you had posted you had also been looking at the Xone 4D. Any opinion on your Evo5 vs the Xone?
I'm looking to get a good midi mixer and I'm a bit loathe for fork out this kind of money until I'm sure it will be able to do what I want, so I suppose what I want is a good place to start! So here's what I ideally would like:
1. I will be playing a lot of original compositions as well as beat loops, synths and samples over the top of other music, so 4 deck transport control for multi instance is a must.
2. FX and EQ control on each of the 4 decks separately, with multiple FX on each channel.
3. I also want to be able to key shift on button mappings, not on a rotary control. I like to be able to take a single break / phrase and create a new tune out of it on the fly, so I want to be able to map a sequence of buttons almost like a keyboard so I can "play" the sound. I know even for a single octave your talking 12 buttons there, but there you go that's what I'm after!
4. The ability to browse the folders / songs like I can on the RMX.
Ideally I want all of this, in one unit. I know I could do this with multiple units (like using the RMX + Keyboard + Mixer) but if there's one unit out there that can do it all then why bother with the hassle of carting lots of different pieces about.
