ok after mapping it and playing around this is what i found about mixer/midi consoles...
1-the led's have cc values and some of them r the same as the faders/knobs etc
however certian aspects like assigning faders for button controls makes for fast flashes of on and off which can be pretty cool
2-the jog wheel works for the scratch modul fairly well, however i have found the scratch modul comes makes the clip start at the begining(also only one of the scratches really worked with my jog wheel)
3- most of the buttons make it only stay on as long as u hold them some of them stayed on after releaseing the button and i couldnt find a way to set different peramitors for buttons etc...
all in all i give it bang for the buck realisticly!!!
things worth $180 new
i payed $90
however i'm thinking for the amount of actual controls on it i'd like to be able to run two controllers or else would perfer to use a unit like the Xponnent by m audio
more knobs and buttons(but also more leds which could be a bad thing unless they where smart enough to give different values to the leds then the knobs etc have)
hope that helps anyone whose in this style of a personal debate
over all assesment stoked on having the control unit workin with modul8!!!
EDIT: it took me maybe 20 minutes tops to get things mapped out i had a slight pain in the arse that made it take longer but that was all user bs with trying to find the cheat sheet i have for what my cc values r on the unit itself
