i havent found any pics from the top of a 68 yet... will the 68 provide enough buttons/knobs etc to fully control SL 2.0? is the apc 40 a bettor option to go to have full control of THE BRIDGE, along with the new efx parameters etc of SL 2?

You get get some controls, but you'll still have to use the keyboard (or other external MIDI controller).

oh....thats, well.... dissapointing :( that was the value maker for me to buy this rather than a 57 w/ apc 40

thanks though

The SIXTY-EIGHT, like unlike the TTM 57SL can be MIDI mapped. The TTM 57sl and EIXTY-EIGHT allow the buttons to be reassigned :)

that was a confusing unconfusing statment

The TTM 57SL does not communicate with SSL via MIDI :)
The TTM 57SL uses HIDI communication, which is SSL specific (ie written into the SSL code and not compatible with other programs). The SIXTY-EIGHT uses both, MIDI and HIDI, allowing the SXTY-EIGHT to work as a MIDI control with other programs and "native" support with SSL.

Shaun,

I am confused about both you and Rane using Midi-mapping as a term. Based on what I was reading in the manuals there is no traditional midi mapping possible. The mapping happens between the USB cable and it seems like it's only with ScratchLive.

The USB outputs on the mixer do not seem like it will work with any other software.

Can you confirm this?

i think he just answered that question lol

Damn he did.

:)

Shaun could you please elaborate on if two djs will be able to use two head phones at once like each assigned to different ..... when switching over
