Is it wrong that right after a post extolling the virtues of vinyl and bemoaning the closure of another record store that I post about by burgeoning interest in digital djing using micro-controllers?
I don’t think so.
DJTechTools just did a very interesting post comparing (inter alia) the Korg NanoPad with the Akai LPD8. Of course, as soon as I saw the Akai’s 8 pads and 8 knobs, my head was spinning with potential Traktor layouts. I had to buy one. Then I had to YouTube it and see what other people were doing:
Needless to say, it’s got me thinking. Given the sudden influx of micro-controllers onto the market, will we see them taken up by professional djs as new portable djing solutions? I mean, we’ve already seen that Russ Chimes djs with little more than a Nocturn and analogue mixer – but why stop there?
