While the benefits of Live for DJ use are clear, compelling hardware control can be a challenge. As a DJ, do you move away from the workflow you've been using for years and feel comfortable with? Or do you map Live to a traditional controller, but miss out on the number of buttons needed to trigger clips effectively? The CMD LC-1 provides the best of both worlds. The LC-1 is a clip triggering machine. The clip section has 32 buttons that are backlit in multiple colors and respond to MIDI feedback. But Live isn't just about clips; it's also about effects. So there's an effects control section above the clip area, with 8 encoders and 8 buttons. Below the clip area there are also buttons for channel mute, solo and record. On its own, the LC-1 makes a great controller for clip management, as well as a great addition to any Serato ScratchLive user's Bridge-based setup. But when paired with the MM-1 Mixer module, this dynamic duo turns into a fantastic Live controller - combining the clip triggering and effect tweaking power of the LC-1 with the smooth mixing and scene navigating capabilities of the MM-1. Are you a producer in need of a beat creation station? Throw a DC-1 into the mix for 16 pads of digital drum destruction. And remember that at its heart, the LC-1 is an array of assignable buttons and knobs. So, why not use it to access cue points in Virtual DJ or Traktor? Or with a step sequencer? The LC-1 can handle all this and more with ease. Small enough to fit in a tight DJ booth, but big enough to deliver the performance you need, the PL-1 is a robust platter controller-no matter what DJ software you use. With its 4" touch-sensitive wheel, the PL-1 knows when you're touching it and where. Touch on the top, and the music stops just as if you were touching a record. Nudge the side of the platter and you'll get momentary changes in playback speed. It performs exactly as you've come to expect from years of turntable and CD deck use. However, unlike most other deck controllers, this little dynamo comes with a silky-smooth, high-resolution fader for precise pitch adjustments. If you use sync in your software and the deck pitch changes, there's a column of LEDs next to the pitch fader that lets you know what the pitch on the virtual deck has changed to - so you always know what's going on without looking at your screen. Only have room for one controller in your booth? Not a problem! The PL-1 supports deck switching for controlling up to four decks, so a single module is the perfect backup deck or add-on when using software that allows for more than two virtual decks. But just one controller? That's no fun - remember the old mantra "go big or go home?" So why not pair up four PL-1 controllers with an MM-1 Mixer module and enjoy the ultimate four deck experience... 4 channels... 4 platters... No confusion. And still easily portable. Isn't it nice to have choices?
