[ link ]Leave it with us…
[ link ]I would like any info on the release date for the new Behringer cmd4a and their modular controllers, any pics or video would be a plus.
THANKS.

[ link ]Hi friends, thanks for your effort to bring us the latest news about this event, so any news involving ipad use like controller will be great. Send a HI to Denon team and ask if have a chance for owners of dn-s3700 receive more updates including engine sw. Anyway i don’t know more capable people to detail the news better than you guys so i have shure your team will let your readers very satisfied.
[ link ]Yeah details on Behringer’s European release date for their CMD series would be lovely. on that note, if there’s any word from Ableton on Live 9, and finally, although a personal thing, if AKAI have any new Ableton controllers in the works
Cheers guys.
[ link ]Who had the biggest crowds? Who had the most buzz? Those insights to the floor are what I enjoy as well as the excellent product coverage. Thanks!
[ link ]Good thinking! We’ll try and bring you some of that background stuff as well as straight gear etc. coverage.
[ link ]Hey Phil, hoping to bump into you tomorrow or Sunday, where r u guys staying?
[ link ]We are at the etap, cheap n cheerful
We’re all at the Hilton, we’ll be in the show every day beginning to end.
[ link ]I think a mini guide to all the new controllers and gear now would be great.
[ link ]You can take that as read!
[ link ]See you there!
[ link ]Ableton live 9 and please a Bit about bitwig of they are present – also i would Love stuff about entrylevel pa Equipment and Portable pa stuff!
[ link ]We’ll se what we can find out about Ableton 9, and we’ll definitely be covering PA systems.
[ link ]Behringer Modular system, Reloop controllers, anything on the Serato DJ software, new fun-looking controllerist-focused controllers, etc.
[ link ]A booth babe photo gallery, please.
[ link ]Didn’t you ask for that last year? Someone did…
[ link ]Wasn’t me. But I got a chuckle out of your booth babe coverage last year.
[ link ]and you were holding us hostage for more pics too… “we have lots…whats it worth? ” seems to be the part I remember…..
The Male followers of your posts (myself included) will love it!!
[ link ]Speaking of Ableton, I’d really like to hear more about D.A.W. integration with DJ software (be it in D.A.W. or in D.J. software). Serato seems to really be pushing “Serato DJ” but they’re kinda’ nebulous about when/if the Bridge will be released for DJ and Native Instruments is really pushing the “Ableton light” angle with its Remix Decks in Traktor. I think it’d be good to get a clear answer regarding ACTUAL in-application integration (like the Bridge on Scratch Live) and not just Synching B.P.M. either, Pitch/Key and “Cue point macro” automation is becoming important too.
[ link ]My First BPM, not going till Sunday but still can’t wait might see you there.
[ link ]You could tell Behringer to get the darn new DJ gear out already.
They have kind of messed me up for waiting on them. I had to buy some stuff I didn’t really want; just to do a gig. It’s taking them too long.
[ link ]Pop over and say hi to the chaps at DJ Worx maybe? Don’t know what your relationship is like with them, but you and those guys are the two most trusted voices on our culture, in my opinion, so I hope you lads play well together.
[ link ]We play well together
[ link ]Could you report back on some of the seminars please?
[ link ]Can you guys do me a ridiculously big favor? Both Serato and Ableton are supposed to be there and I would like some form of confirmation on if The Bridge for ITCH/Serato DJ is alive or dead (video if possible).
I’m fine if it’s gone, but I want someone from them to acknowledge it being cancelled, an apology at least for those who bought products from them with the expectation that this would come.
[ link ]It’s good to see other people thinking alike. Honestly, with this arms race happening with controllers in every conceivable layout and a seemingly unlimited amount of control options, combined with this huge (and growing) wave of Controllerism, there simply has to be someone out there willing to make DJ apps work with their D.A.W..
[ link ]Would be great to see if the traktor update is coming for non z2 users. Maybe introducing a new concept the the dj tech has come up with.
[ link ]Hi Phil! Would love to see if you could sneak any pics of the new Serato DJ interface.
Also, please let us know if Allen & Heath has any new mixers or controllers coming out (besides the firmware updates for the DB2/DB4). Thank you so much.
[ link ]please see if there are new affordable pa systems(like the behringer 150)
[ link ]can you give us some hands-on video
also check out the vdj booth for vdj8 news
the pioneer for the new ddj-sx
gemini-cdmp7000
reloop-mystery controller
No mystery controller from Reloop, DDJ-Sx looks great (very NS6 like), VDJ8 there’s news – see today’s piece, videos will come after we get back as hotel internet is never good for uploads…
[ link ]thnx for the reply
(Brand-New Controller up the Sleeve
For years booth H11 has been predestined for Reloop – besides our flaggships Terminal Mix 4 and Terminal Mix 2, this year we have a yet unreleased DJ controller up our sleeve – watch out! Reloop BeatMix and the multi-media crossmedia player RMP-3 Alpha will also be available for testing.) from reloop’s newsletter about the os x mountain lion update
[ link ]Oh, and any development on more, serious controllers working on the iPad with djay.
[ link ]Hey Phil,
[ link ]Would love to hear something about technological developments regarding USB 3.0 support. Will new controllers support usb 3.0 or even leave USB 2.0 behind?
Thanks in advance
Cool, good request. We’ll get on that.
[ link ]for me some of the controllerist hardware that is coming out would be appreciated…..NI’s mixer in use with the F1′s…..anything from AKAI thats new?….etc….
Thanks Phil!
[ link ]More on ‘the one’ dj software, they just announced on their FB page they’ll be at BPM.
[ link ]I will be getting the lowdown from The One in the next day or so… watch this space.
[ link ]Hi Phil – looking forward to the update on The One… hope it comes through soon, this software has been tantalizing us for ages…
[ link ]What fx can I add on with my A&H Xone42 mixer?
[ link ]if possible yo check if A&H K2 will work with an iPad?
I guess it will need an external charger, but would A&H provide some solution e.g. over the RJ45 port ?
[ link ]We’re investigating this stuff. If the A&H K2 is “USB class compliant”, it should work with iPad (with camera connection kit).
[ link ]Maybe find out when non F1 controllers will support remix deck mapping in Traktor.
And any cool new toys for ipad mixing
[ link ]ahhh dash! we were also at bpm on the sunday, would have said hi if we’d have seen you… was a great show. our key highlights are rounded up in the below article:
http://www.equipment-dj.com/bpm2012.php
the Alphasphere controller and NI Mate software were the most cutting edge new toys we found! brilliant pieces of kit.
anyone else have any thoughts who went?
