To: Albert Santoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Well, with only one button, then a deck is always receiving vinyl control
input. I'd be happy with a button per deck, with only one depressed at any
given moment, or neither. However, I doubt it would be a huge issue if it
was there was just a single toggle for deck 1/deck 2.
