I have to echo everyone's sentiments here by echoing that this new Twitch integration with Serato DJ is "half-baked." It lacks the coordinated and intuitive integration between hardware and software that drew me into the Twitch/ITCH fold. Using some of the Performance Mode features ion DJ that we had in ITCH require super-human finger acrobatics to activate, a series of unintuitive button sequences or they are just missing altogether.

For example:

1. To cue back/reloop to the beginning of a saved Auto Loop you have to press Shift+Pad(1-8). Its rather cumbersome.
2. Since there are no button mappings to delete stored loops, I have to rely on the GUI. Since only two stored loops are available in the GUI, I cannot delete any of the saved loops other than the those two shown in the GUI.
3. Although this has already been addressed, I have to bring up the poor implementation of the fader effects ("FX") as well. Since the gain is not held like it was in ITCH, it makes executing most effects without disruption nearly impossible.
4. If an effect is activated and assigned to a fader, if I tap the Select/Activate button to change effects, it causes the playing track to stutter. This is unacceptable in a live performance, especially in a recording.
5. Multi-touch - One of Novation's game-changing features in ITCH was left out of DJ. Will it come back?

What I felt was Serato's uncompromising attention to detail and integration was sacrificed in Serato's rush to get DJ out the door. It saddens me to ponder how invested Serato is in the paying customers that have repeatedly invested in their products.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate innovation. However, I would hate to see such an innovative controller platform like the Twitch become a forgotten casualty in Serato's drive forward.
