1. is a good idea, what about phono thru?

2. I can see the point here but I don't think it's really worth it. If you want to use the TTM57, upgrade to 1.6 I think that's fair enough.

I second Nik's idea. Even though your rig is going to look awkward and heavier, it would allow the TTM 57SL to be it's own backup. If the club owner, which wouldn't be surprising since there are so many shady managers out there, if they suddenly change their mind about the whole bring your own mixer/use the installed mixer deal, you don't have to travel back home and bring your SL box.

So in case the club's mixer fails, or if you don't own SL1 or the SL box breaks in some unspeakably rare incident, the 57 would be your ultimate backup in either case.

That is why you outline that what gear you either demand to be provided, or demand to be able to bring and use in a written contract.

1. good idea. not everyone is fortunate enough to buy an sl1 and a ttm57sl. for those who decide to go the ttm57sl route, that would be pretty cool...a bit more bulky, but at least it will allow them to use it as an sl1 in such cases.

2. also good idea. i thought it was already capable at a gig where i wanted to bail to 1.4....i was forced to use 1.6, but it pulled thru okay. i'm sure this will only be a temporary thing since new sl1 units will be shipping with version 1.5 and up.

2. forgot to mention, good for people who want to plug into a ttm57 setup right now and only have 1.4 or 1.5, like rotating djs at a club or some event.

1. scratchlive.net <- click. Steve mentioned this idea already. The only problem right now is that FlexFX send is not pre-fader, its post fader. We should have an optional bypass SSL mode which will make this pre-fader.

This feature suggestion would have remedied this guy's exact situation.

To paraphrase, the club has a mixer screwed in and the DJ was not allowed to substitute it with his own mixer. The guy only prepared with SSL vinyl and material because he was told that it was allowed and possible by the promoter. He wasn't able to setup SSL and wasn't prepared to spin with traditional vinyl and so he wasn't allowed to perform the gig.

I think this is an excellent feature for the 57 and I feel that it should be considered before any unnecessary bells and whistles *cough* video *cough*

Workaround (not nice, but thats why its called a work around):

definately need this feature.

Yes! Rane if your listening, please hook this up if at all possible. Thanks in advance.

Another vote from me for this mod!
In all the clubs i play at there is no room and/or there are cables everywhere/hard to get too.
My plan is to make a custom mixer case that would allow me to place the mixer somewhere out of the way and have inputs coming through the case, so it just looks like a really big SL1 box.

definitely a vote for this feature. I've just got the TTM57SL and have prepared an ebay auction page for my SL1. I don't know if I can bring myself to actually make it live though "just in case".

It has the benefit of being tiny and fairly unobtrusive so I might end up actually keeping the SL1 and using it once in a blue moon when I turn up to a gig that doesn't have the space for the 57. Then again, I might want to keep the 57 at home so I can pamper it and get the SL1 all scratched and smoked up in a club environment... Decisions, decisions.

bump....buying a ttm57sl soon and selling my SL1, so I want an easy way to use my 57 as an SL1 should the need arise.

like rane doesn't want to sell extra SLs haha that would keep people from buying both so it will never happen

This was also something that had me doubting for the 57. The workaround convinced me. But a decent solution like suggested by Nik would be much better. Hooking up headphones out to a Line in isn't my idea of "proper wiring".

+1

wow. that would be nice.

Mega bump.

it would be really helpful if there was an option in SSL or a button on the 57 to assign the 'flex fx' output to be PRE crossfader (or even just pre fader).

I really needed this recently as i wanted to setup two samplers with 2 turntables and one mixer (2 producers using 2 different samplers, each sampling from 1 of the 2 different turntables, using the same 57 mixer!!.)

I was able to do this with my old Numark DM2000X Pro Master Mix mixer. It had seperate send buttons for each channel (like the 57) but this routed any or all of the 3 channels signals to an aux output that was completely pre fader (to eliminate noise from the 2 extra fader steps i suppose)

seems that an option like this could also solve the 57 as an SL-1 feature i see people talking about on this thread.

then you could simply assign channel 1 to flex fx output pre crossfader and channel 2 to another output (aux,or booth) pre crossfader as well. walla 2 different programs through one mixer each with its own volume control.

even better would be the ability to switch the flex fx inputs to be an additional set of aux outputs also switchable from post faders to pre crossfader or pre channel fader.

(side note: on my old Numark you could also actually turn the crossfader off as well as reverse it with one 3 way toggle switch. it helped in certain situations. would be nice if the 57 crossfader could be switched off if needed.)
