if you could dream up your own DJ gear what would it be?

[mars.shosh1n]

I want a Livid Instruments cntrl:r with a 1200 and scratch fader a la innofader.

Almost there .... i've got an ohm64 and a penny & giles on my zero4... but not quite the same ...

[Andrew1207]

Technics 1220M6G. It has the same features the 1210M5G has plus a built in dicer, 3 speeds; 33, 45 and 78 and no need for a ground wire.

boom.

sorry about the shite photoshopping effort but here is my dream.... behold the pioneer CDJ-M1 a single deck midi controller designed to integrate fully into the serato user experience, with full functionality

[Sween]

The following bank of buttons that drop hypnotic frequencies into your music that make people do things:

1. Females get nude button
2. Males go home button
3. Bring me a drink button
4. And maybe a button simply labeled "Twerk"

[The Blackest]

Oh and a CDJ that has an "ADD DONK" button.


CDJ 2000 Nexus-D

[DJ ATX]

I would probably build it as an Itch controller that is mappable so if you want to run tracktor or VDJ on it, you could.

Ummm....hello...its already been built. The NS6 is an Itch controller that is native to VDJ and a TSI file can be downloaded for Traktor.

Also, if you have not seen the previews of VDJ 8, with its Ableton like functions, it really looks like it built for the Numark MPC in mind.

A Technics turntable based on the mk2:

no click in the pitch, analogue pitchfader, warm white pop up LED, standard isonoe feet, no ground wire, RCA connection terminal instead of the stupid fixed cables
adjustable torque (between 1 and 4.5 kg), 78 rpm.

also a mixer:

4 channels, rotary option per channel, so 2 rotary faders and 2 normal faders would be possible.
customizable EQ, like on the EVO 5. customize frequency ranges, cut off points, crossover points, full kill or not, with presets based on other dj mixers
master isolator, beneath the channel faders, with nice big rubber coated knobs.
4 phono inputs (rare on mixers nowadays)
no crossfader... (yes I dont need that thing)
EQ on the headphones, master and booth outputs (master EQ is different to a master isolator)
proper headphone amp (like in Rodecs, man those are loud)
channel level meters with no hold peak thingy (the leds stay put for a second on the last highest peak)
good working send/return

*I know, paintshop skills are lacking... Bite me.*

Basically I have a hybrid setup that uses both Ableton and Traktor Scratch Pro. They are clocked together so that anything i trigger on live is beatmatched to Traktor.

I would love a controller for Traktor that has total control. Rotary knobs all around, sample deck, cue and loop deck, effects deck with other knobs for browsing and master in/out and stuff like that. But what would be tits is if it had room for an ipad to be docked. 1st purpose is to keep the ipad charged while i run Touchable on it to control Ableton which runs in the background of traktor and 2nd to create a tether so i dont have to use a wifi signal.

If they made a controller like this it would be the bees knees.

my dream would be a pioneer controller with all the functionality of this

but the size and feel of this

no usb, no cd drive, no screen. just a full sized deck from pio thats affordable and designed for software

I'll get into photoshop and make a prototype :p

[hoff]

behold what 20min of photoshop can do and pioneer can't seem to figure out.. the DDJ-2000
