[oakitis]

I remember watching this video, like it was yesterday..
Time flies

[LJMstepspain]

I must have watching this video about 7 or 8 times since it came out yesterday.

I cant be more pumped.

[julianbruneau]

Ahah, i really want to see Kink use it for his first time, being happy like a little boy with all thoses buttons

[pizzamangargatuloth]

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE that when he said "warm" he stepped into the spotlight and when he said texture the camera went out of focus?? That's was pretty great stuff.

6:53 "Rip that apart and go as deep as possible" - I had 'That's what she said' urges.

Shut up and take my... oh wait £2.5k???

[mr.DorianJames]

I love the idea of parametric EQs. I had a friend who had the Tascam X9 mixer. Even though it had some FX, I spent most of my time loving the EQs. it was digital EQ which I would like to play with an analogue parametric EQ on a mixer.

[ActualKaktus]

An audiophile dj producers wet dream. Heirloom quality stuff here.

[TechnoMusicFreaks]

I'm very excited about this... also Richie Hawtin is my favourite DJ.

[retrojaxed]

as this was done with dub and reggae music and soundsystems from yesteryear and they were using parametric eq's and for this to filter over to techno and electronic music on a whole is good to see and hear.

[mikeypaz]

mind blowing, plus i see a lot of speakers getting blown with this one. love it though.

[theycallmeGabs]

i guess the point really is to have an alternative to what's out there. the approach with a semi parametric EQ definitely provides a lot of new possibilities, while it cuts out some of the known techniques. i think it'd be a nice journey for every dj to try out what he or she can achieve with this mixer, sadly the price tag will eliminate it from coming to the homes, even though the built quality might justify it.

[powerboonk]

I'd love to see the earlier prototype designs and see the design evolution.

[jeremywinston]

R ichie crushing the game!! Destroying dance floors!!

[tekkenmau]

Track ID of the song he's mixing ???

[Djtonydraper]
