They seem to be big thing in Holland. I played there a gig couple of weeks ago and the venue had Freefloats under their decks. AFAIK they were invented in Holland for the Dancevalley event (correct me if I'm wrong). Couple of points. I correct my mixes when the both channels are playing on top of eachother with the pitch fader. That felt really odd at first since the deck was wobbling back and forth. This was due to the fact that the decks were quite new and the pitches were very tight. How ever the needle didn't jump once during my 2,5h. Hmm, that was actually just one point :D Any hoo, I ordered couple of those from a friend of mine. I like to play without the 'floats but there are couple of places where they are more than welcome. ------------------------------------------------------ Jari Tolkkinen | dj ken-guru | http://www.ken-guru.net ------------------------------------------------------
