The Xone:32 (3 Channels) is the only one with an LFO/Filter and the LFO definitely is cool. It's had the LFO/Filter for at least a year and a half - not sure about earlier models. The Xone:62 only has the filter. Just noticed they have new rotary and 2-channel varities. Not that I'd want them, but I still think it's cool they've expanded their offerings. I love both the Xone's and the Pioneer 5/600's. They are the best mixers I've used. And then there are the rumors about the 700 that have been kicking around for a few months. Nothing on Pioneer's site yet that I can find. The Tascam X-9 is finally out as of about maybe 6 months ago after pending release for nearly 18 months I think? It offers the most features at a comparable price to the 600/Xone:62. The idea of dual effects and dual samplers assignable to any combination of inputs is pretty amazing to me. I'd just really like to use it for a while and see if any of that raw power could be tamed for something useful. http://www.tascam.com/products/product_information.php?product_id=3 My choice in a few months will be the Red Sound Infader. It makes mixing extremely fun, which is the most important criteria for me! Perhaps expensive for the bedroom, but easy enough to transport if so inclined. The modular units for it look a lot of fun (I've not used them), but the 3 BAND CROSSFADER is the sh*t! I only played for about 15 minutes before my friend had to tear me off of it. He's been extremely happy with his for about a year. Not sure how you all feel about digital mixers though. I don't mind. http://www.redsound.com/djindex.htm Tristan ===== Text/Mixes: http://phonopsia.tripod.com Music: http://www.mp313.com Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] New Mix in mp3, 'Live in Iowa City' available for a short time from http://phonopsia.isoprax.com
