    Default Midi player

    Loking for recommendations on a mid range midi controller. Looking to spend no more than £450.

    It's not for mobile use, just for playing around with at home. I just want something sturdy, with a couple of channel faders, looping, fx etc. I had a play with the pioneer ergo at BPM, and I quite liked it (except for the tacky flashing light around the platter). Didn't quite manage to have a look at the Traktor S4, I wondered if anyone had used one?

    I also welcome any other recommendation. Thanks in advance.

    In an effort to bring myself a little more up to date, so am I. ( Actually, I just want Play buttons fitting to my laptop. )

    Proof if it were needed that Scotsmen throw their money about in a recklesss fashion compared to the more fiscally constrained souls south of them can be seen by the fact that I am looking at this slightly cheaper solution.

    Does the Stanton one work as a midi controller too?

    Also, the Cersadeck is the same unit as the Citronic MPX-10, which you may get a better deal on?

    Did you miss tha part where I said I wanted a couple of faders? The DJ2go just has a crossfader doesn't it?' Did you also miss the part where I wanted some extras (looping etc)?

    I'm open to anything. I've never used DJ software before so don't have anything to compare too.

    I saw it at BPM, but didn't manage to have a play. Have you used the S2. Any thoughts on it?

    Errr, no. Rotary volume controls , but technically faders.

    OK, banged to rights. Did I say mine was £400 cheaper?
