Any thoughts on Behringer's Open-Source controller? (djtechtools.com)

I'm rooting for this to take off! DJ hardware has always been a painful economic bottleneck for me, and is the reason why I'm still using my 5+ year old DDJ-400.

I mean, it looks cool, I have no knowledge of DJ controllers, but the aestethics is cool.

    I can't speak to this specifically, but I've got a low latency USB audio device of theirs, and it is absolutely fantastic.

    If they can really make it and sell it for 400€, this could be an awesome thing for all DJs stuff, as other companies would need to adapt.

    Exactly! I imagine that it would probably rock the boat over at Pioneer quite a bit.

    A friend told me about this the other day, and my first reaction was that I doubt that your everyday DJ is very technical, or interested in Open-Source in general. Of course, I have nothing to back this statement up with, but my assumption is that DJ's wants simplicity, plug-and-play that just works. My friend, who has more insight, and is frequently playing festivals, disagreed, though.

    This sounds like a pretty cool project. I hope more of this type of products come out and catch on.
