    Spinning in Tokyo, these are mandatory in the booth even in 2023! Keeping it 100, I'm also about to pick up a Reloop Flux for those places who have ancient equipment STILL in the booth!

      getting back into DJing after about 6-8 years, always saw these, but never knew what they were called until today. i dont want to buy a new setup right now, but my Denon DN-S1200s are definitely missing some modern features I want to play with, so now im tempted to buy a pair, or even 2, so i can stick them on my decks to just get a bit more out of them until I feel comfortable enough to upgrade

    I have them and I can say that they gave a second life to my turntables (timecode + Serato DVS), giving midi possibilities to such an analogical object (as a turntable) is remarkable.
    I take very good care of them, they are objects worthy of respect.

    just bought a set off ebay this week lol (2023) I didn't get to use them back in the day but always wanted them. i think they'd still have a lot of creative uses being remapped for actual production etc. Being so small I can have them around my computer keyboard, to add some extra midi buttons

  • @djciscov1
    @djciscov1 3 роки тому +3

    Great Video 👍🏻 I think you should’ve added some info on how you can still use them to control other functions on DJ software just by remapping them to control other functions. They can still be very useful in conjunction with a more modern Dj mixer.

    Using dicers with rekordbox is even better. You basically have a clean slate, and you can midi map them to pretty much anything. Easy to do, and VERY effective!

    If you spinning vinyls AND somtimes DVS this devide is the one you should have. Was thinking about buying a new Mixer dor round about 1500,- (i) just to have all this modern features in it. With the dicers you still can get a great and good quality mixer for a much lower falue AND use the DVS if needey. Just sayin‘ 😊

    Can anyone tell me why the buttons are round and not square if they are called dicers?
    They would look much better square especially on a 1200 to match the start /stop, 33, 45. maybe they should be called Rounders. Anyway I just bought a pair because someone said they are plug and play, but it turns out i have to buy more things to get them to work.
