I doubt it too! Although I was reading some comments sasha made about this
controller, and the things he was saying about how he wanted it to be were
interesting.

I don't think theres a really good ableton controller specifically for
dj'ing on the market yet.

do other people find this?

I've looked at all the options, and to me, they're missing some fundamental
stuff. Sasha said something along the lines of "I want something that I can
control the entire screen from, so I'm not having to hunch over a laptop
while dj'ing" etc.. blahblah.... well, me too.

I want something with on each channel a slider, assignable knobs, some
buttons, and preferably something you could use to control the effects per
channel too. Also something with a crossfader as well. It seems simple! but
no one makes one yet! maybe its a bit expensive to make.

Yeah, it looks excellent - if only they made it commercially! not much use
to us other wise!

Thanks for the info Dave - much appreciated.
