What can you do on a 57, but not on a 62

freezy 4:18 PM - 6 May, 2012
I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I'm not interested in knowing which mixer is better. I just want to know "everything" that was doable on the 57, but not on the 62. Can anyone direct me to a link that lists these gaps between the 57SL and SIXTY-TWO

It seems there are two and probably more...

1.) The cue buttons on the 62 are not yet mappable.
2.) Kill switches for (low,mid,high) are gone.

I appreciate the help

That's coming. 5 MIDI layers, selected from the mixer control surface. Everything is mappable. It's in the next update which will be in public beta very soon.

5 MIDI layers sounds sweet, how will the layers be selectable?

buttons i would love to map to the mixer:
-play/pause for each deck
-censor for each deck
-keylock for each deck
-rel/int for each deck

No J-1/J-2 Joysticks on the 62..... I miss them, great for mapping to sample start/stop/clear....

Thanks!

I totally agree, there should be a way of changing to Internal/Relative/Absolute from the mixer and play/pause, etc
Keylock would also be nice...

Please make it available in the upcoming update

thank U

One big feature on the 57 but not on the 62 or 68: ability to individually assign two independent HARDWARE-based effects.

I'm guessing the rationale was that with Serato's built-in software effects, the ability to assign two separate hardware effects on the newer mixers was less important.

And I personally really like the 57 joysticks for changing effect parameters, thought they were a pretty brilliant design. Can't do quite the same stuff with the newer simple knobs for certain things.

Also Flex-FX that's separate from the "effect" chain.

Another "can do this on a 57 but not the newer mixers" (though it's not really a "good" thing from a sound-quality viewpoint) is be really careless with both effects and gain structure, and let the built-in limiter smoosh everything out. Can't really do things that way on the newer mixers LOL.

To be clear, most of my comparisons actually relate more to the 57 vs. 68.
