This pioneer mixer seems to be getting really popular lately. I've seen it on 2 parities in last 2 months but on both parties only Umek went crazy on the Fx, once alone and on the other party together with Valentino Kanzyani, when they did an incredible 4 turntable set. I think Steve Rachmad also used it a bit for usual flanger stuff. I was watching Love Parade on tv, and they also had the pioneer mixer, but while i was watching no one tuched the fx section, but some cheesy trance djs did use the bpm counter :). There was a short interview with Mills, and when asked how come he didn't spin, he said that right now it's more important for him to spend time in studio than spin at the love parade.
