wish I had something to add - I just think that it's very nice that we as "djs" are totally throwing out the old 2 turntables and a mixer that was the standard 10 years ago and pushing new ideas.
the lines of producer/dj are very blurred now. I'm def still on the dj side of the line but day - um.
we should start a "post your set up" thread.
cdj400 + PMC Vestax Mixer + PC + Serato

The grid is in. While the monome remains the standards bearer for hardware with grids of buttons on it, arrays of buttons are suddenly everywhere, in the commercial Akai APC40 and Novation Launchpad, and, from Livid Instruments, the Ohm64 and now the Block. I think it’s a real compliment to the monome’s creators – and the community that has authored ingenious open software for the monome – that there is this excitement around the design.
The latest entry is Livid’s Block, a compact, aluminum-and-wood controller that’s easy to carry and which weighs less than 3 pounds. It’s not a monome – it eschews the monome’s stringent minimalist design aesthetic and adds knobs on top, faders on the side. That layout has made the M-Audio Trigger Finger a blockbuster hit, so I think it could attract people who want more than just buttons. (That’s why choice is generally a good thing.) But just as importantly, the Block takes cues from the monome beyond the skin-deep. As with the Ohm64, Livid is working to open-source both the guts of the hardware and the software on the computer. The instruments are made by hand using sustainable materials and finishes, manufactured in Texas in their own shop rather than the lowest bidder overseas. The hardware itself encourages hacks and customization. These are principles championed by the monome’s Brian Crabtree and Kelli Cain, and they’re badly in need of some company. Livid, like those monome creators, is a handful of individuals rather then a big company, but they give us new hardware that embodies sustainability, openness, and local production – and that makes the monome and its principles stronger. (Livid has been crafting performance hardware and Max patches for many years.) And while this bus-powered USB MIDI device doesn’t yet support (OSC) OpenSoundControl, that could come – without sacrificing conventional MIDI connections to outboard gear when you don’t have the computer connected. (Clarification: as with the Ohm64, OSC support is not yet available but should be possible. Stay tuned.)

:) It'll be worth the wait! Even with all those knobs it's an adventure to program - it's like a modular synth wrapped in a keyboard case.
Saw you mentioned you have a Prophet-600, those are pretty sweet too! I have an Akai AX-80, I think it uses the same CEM filter chips.

well, I need to send it in for repairs...two of the voices are dead which pissed me off, but I got it for a steal of a price (considering what they are new anyways), I also need to send in my spectralis for the new upgrade, so in going to be missing my two monsters for a bit :-(
In due time though :-)
I pretty much bought the prophet to turn around and flip it to get a few extra bucks and pick up a poly evolver....but I fell in love with it pretty quick. |

I've got a Prophet-600. It's like tones within tones, raw and ripping. I wish we had a music store around here so I could get my hands on synths like that.
Sooo I'll be looking forward to hearing a track with that bad boy on soon? |

i had a sherman filterbank for a few weeks, seriously the most aweful piece of crap to ever come into my studio, complete waste of time and money.....I have no idea why people like those things, I was very disapointed.
My newest toy :-D
