Yeah, some screencasts might help. I don't have my decks anymore so I have
to emulate vinyl control.
Sean: if you're scratching with MIDI, you've either got jog wheels or an
SCS.3D. The SCS has the platter position light, and you can just mark your
jog wheel. You're never going to be DJ Q-Bert with jog wheels. Ugh, more
configuration options ...
Anyways, I wouldn't commit to anything until RJ has a chance to comment.
Thanks,
Albert
