I seriously wonder how DJ controllers cost so much money anyway - especially these days (high res screen controllers excepted). There's a little microcontroller inside reading all the knobs & switches.. and some analogue circuitry but really? Have you seen the kind of analogue mixer you can buy for the same kind of money? All the clever stuff is done in our software - and there's no mechanisms or anything inside a controller... Then look at 'DJ' mixers... oh man. Ah it's for DJs. Add another zero to the price. Shocking.
