Most likely it will be the controller company making the hardware. so i dont think they will open up itch to 3rd party midi controller for sp6, it have to be pionneer, numark, vestax, denon etc

.....mmmmm......Novation....just saying....

Hugh O 4:42 AM 20 July 2011 Thanks Jfree, there will in fact be midi assignments for ITCH hardware in the next release soon after 2.0, which will allow you to control the SP6 with your device

There really needs to be as I bought an s1 and you can't even get to the keyboard.

You fell for that gimmick?

Just buy a Crane Stand....problem solved for the time being.

Good solution... Shell out another 200 bucks to fix a problem that shouldn't exist.

You should never "want" inaccessibility to your keyboard. That shit was a gimmick on Pioneer's part, and I'm shocked that you actually fell for it. The 3 friends of mine that have the S1 all use laptop stands.

So Yes, you should shell out the $150 regardless.

.....I mean, how do you "search" for tracks with the keyboard obscured?

Oh I'll run out and get one right now because some fuckwit on the Internet tells me I fell for a gimmick. I never touch the keyboard to search for tracks there's no need. Thats supposed to ve the point of itch. Why don't I just go back ten years in time and get rid of the controller and just use my mouse too.

i prefer to have my laptop elevated. Why such a "don't touch your laptop fuss"

We're Laptop DJ's using Controllers?? It's not like we are anti - laptop?

No need to resort to name calling!

I can play that game if you want ;)

Lol ten years ago real djs didn't use a mouse....we had vinyl and Cdjs
Scratch live didn't come out till 2002-2004 (I can't remember) :p
awww a trip down memory lane....I miss my pdt-5000s :(

Little fluffy birdies are whipering you're thinking wrong ;)

*whispering

I would like to welcome to the family...

Already got my cues and samples running smooth :-)

Cerla what are u holding out on? Lol

too damn vague, stop speaking in riddles god damnit ha

its called a non-disclosure agreement for a reason...

no kidding buddy

It's already been divulged from many peeps on this forum that 3rd party controller, MIDI Mapping, is coming in a future update.

yup!

Yup, again. Likely in 2.1

I would like to know what software you used for the MIDI mapping dude - will you share ?

Right now I'm using Bome's Midi Translator. It works well but the trial version stops working after a certain period of time and you need to start it up again for it to continue to work. I'm looking for a new free translator that works for PC. Hopefully when Itch supports midi you will also be able to map cue points.

@ DJ Fank Labate - thanks Frank - ill have a look at it
