    Just wish they would hurry up and release a stand alone controller.

    I just don't like modern controllers I don't like built in mixers and small knobs in awkward positions to twiddle to find tunes hate it !

    So that whole 'no jog wheel' thing for the S8 (and, subsequently, S5)?

    Looks like NI have doggy-paddled back to safe jog wheel land with the announcement of it's updated line of S4/S2 Kontrollers.

    Looking forward to the reviews on this one. May be tempted for an upgrade.

    In the end I ended up going down the CDJ Nexus route. Briliant kit but just too big and bulky for my needs. I sold those and bought the Pioneer XDJ-RX2. I've used it a few times recently and it's great, but still, for the majority of my mobile work I prefer my Denon HD2500's. They're over 12 years old and I can't find a solution that comes anywhere close to them for the way I work and the size of setup I prefer.

    Tsk, tsk! And people say I'm rooted in the past! Come on son, come over to the dark side. Even Corabar Steve has done so.

    Never say never, Shaun.

    I will however admit to some common ground with my Scottish friend. When I have the full size booth out, my backup is a Numark DDS.

    I'm with Shaun!
    I still use the Denon HD2500. I have 2 of them (although one does need looking at). They do exactly what I want them to do with no mucking about.

    I don't feel the need to change (or go over to the dark side), as yet.

    Blimey lads, I'm surrounded by Luddites!


    ( Mind you, I know where Gary and Shaun are coming from. If the Cortex play buttons were indestructible, and I didn't need to offer Karaoke, I'd probably still be using them ) Laptop and controller does beat the old Hard Drive Controllers by a mile though, so it's undoubtedly a step forward.
