This controller is great, especially for the price - i got it for about £60.

4 sliders, crossfader, 12 knobs and 10 buttons.

Installation is piss and it's usb powered.

Very easy to configure for use in Traktor and AL via midi learn.

It's bigger than I expected, about the size of a small "real" mixer which is good because everything isn't too cluttered.

Of course there are better controllers, but for the price this is excellent.

Looks awesome. M-Audio do tend to make really good products on the cheap (like this, for instance), I had a midi keyboard which I loved until one day it jumped off my desk and smashed on the floor  :'(
(Althoguh the one I've got now is cheaper and better  :whistle: )

Check out Novation's Nocturn for a seriously workable midi controller at 70 rips.

Here's my mapping for Traktor - seems to work quite well.
