The first impression when unpacking was very good. It was all right. The first impression was positive, no flaws or defects. The Verabreitung can assess as very good. The slider go very light, the knobs sit well between the fingers, nothing rattles, tolerances there is no. The scratch plate are very good because of their size in the hand (diameter 15cm!), Turn smooth and come by those of digital CD players very close. Unfortunately, there is here, but I did not want to overstate, a backlight as in the Pioneer CDJ devices.
The advertised interplay of the controller with Traktor software is actually a hit into the red. The installation is Pippi simple: connect, wait, done! Plug & Play, so to speak.
The assignment of the buttons / knobs is logical and also the number of buttons is sufficient. Comparing related to TRAKTOR other currently on the market controllers, so far I could not find one that could offer so many physical control options for the FX / EQ / looping and mixing functions. The problem with other controllers: There are far too few knobs / buttons available to the functionality of TRAKTOR quickly and easily can ansteueren. Even with this Reloop controller had the control secondary functions still be realized by a double occupancy. This premise was necessary, otherwise the device should have been even greater. Another advantage is that by doing a mouse-free operation of the software (Titelauswählen + Mixing) is possible. With the provided knobs can be very good rummage through the music library. But as with all things, a little exercise is also required here.
The mapping can be changed by the way, so you can prove the knob / button to own idea.
I would recommend the device for Traktor users only !! The size of the scratch plate and the number of control functions are simply overwhelming. As it is compatible with other DJ software, so far I could not test.
I must add that I my comparison to other controllers in the price range 100 - 800 Euro limited. Surely devices in 4-digit euro range as many features, but why spend more money than necessary, right? Finally, the TRAKTOR software can everything.
