Hey Everybody, as suggested in a DJ Tech Tools Forum post, I decided to finally complete my Traktor Pro 2 Sample Deck Mapping for Decks 3 & 4 for the Korg Nano Kontrol. I thought that trying to add this new functionality into an already crammed feature filled Vestax VCI-100 (with 1.4 firmware) would be a little much. We will of course wait and see what the brilliant minds at the DJ Tech Tools Laboratories come up with and this template may end up going to waste for those that have that controller. For others, you may still see a benefit of using a dedicated Sample Deck controller using your Korg Nano Kontrol… Here you go, Enjoy!

The story of Winter Mix 2011. I took advantage of being awake on New Year’s Eve after the ball dropped and Wife and Son fell asleep to get into the groove. Call it the Champagne for keeping me awake til 4 am (we are great friends). I had been contemplating this mix since mid December […]

Came across this sort of by accident by reading an article on the blog… slicingupeyeballs.com (an 80’s college rock band blog, it’s good). Anyway, this documentary covers the formation of the band with Glen and Martyn being on camera. Unfortunately, one of the members, Ian, didn’t want to be a part of the Heaven 17 […]
