Feature request for the next 57, 58??

A touch screen like the djm 909 would be sick to control the effects.. or for the hardware panel entirely. it's a little hard to utilize the awesome effects of the mixer unless you're using the software.... some of us do still rock vinyl/cd sets and would love to use all the effects with ease.

I totally agree with external hardware...make the efx trigger button big and textured, just like the pioneer 800, better yet make all the B buttons smaller mpc style pads

one of the things i like about the 57 is the size... it's a very feature packed 10" mixer. pads on this thing would make it huge.

Make the "B" buttons just a tad bigger and further spaced apart and also add a back light or something so that I could see them in the dark. Thanks.


im fine with placement and size... but back lighting would be awesome. when i walk into the studio with the lights off, the 57 is like a mugger in a dark alley. you can't tell he's there till it's too late.

+1 more lights...or maybe glow in the dark paint

Same here. +1 for some sort of light..... I use this little book light that I latch on the side of my laptop stand to shed some light on my 57 so I can see what I'm doing. Maybe you can come up with some kind of light accessories that we can easily attached to our 57 instead of having to purchase a new one

make the pads 1/4 the size mpc pads and backlite them. And/or make the mixer a 12in... with the B buttons with more "feel" to them DJ's would want to remix on the fly more, those B buttons suck in dark areas; there small and you cant see them

What I'd like to see here more than anything else is simply a dedicated BPM tap button rather than using the P1 which is a little awkward to strike at times and will make the P1 wear out a lot faster. Make it a little recessed, it doesn’t have to be huge, maybe 1.5 -2cm across.

Screen would be nice, however will cause a cost blowout on what is already one of the world’s most expensive 2 channel mixers. If the buttons go backlit, just don’t make them with blue LEDs. Blue LED’s are far too bright, oranges, reds and greens would do just fine.

I agree that lights would be great on the buttons. I`ve noticed that when I dj in the dark it can be difficult locating them so therefore I have to do it the ghettoway by using my cell phone light if I need to turn on a effect lol

i recommend book lights for better portability

Are lights seriously being spoken of for new feature requests? Wow, am i missing something?

I don't have a 57 yet, but looky here.

glowinc.com

seems like a good idea for the buttons.

Am I the only person who has thought to put LED click lights on the underside of their case?

I do have to agree, that backlighting on the mixer would be great! As for the size, I LOVE it being a 10" Mixer. I would hate to see it go up to a 12".

I want to buy a ttm 57. Should I hold up and wait for the next gen ttm57or58? Does anyone know how long it will be?

Rane usually makes announcements for new products in January and April.
No one knows before it is released.
Turn Table Tennis 4:19 PM - 9 October, 2009
buy it... then when the next one comes out, sell it to some one who cant afford a new one, and buy the next one... or just get both.
