The bcf would suck for controlling parameters such as envelope and filter for example.

wait, why?

the new novation nocturne is getting pretty great reviews.

Maybe so but every shop i've spoken to say Novation haven't bloody released them yet!

I recently got an X session off ebay for £35 and its a treat

some people (me included) find it more convenient to do such things with knobs. for me, the filter cutoff tweaking should always be with a rotary knob, while envelopes should ideally be set with faders. envelopes and various audio attenuators... no rule, really... except filter cutoff = knob :D

the bcf has 8 endless knobs and 8 motorized faders tho....the knobs I think are also double as pushbutton encoders.

sorry for being vague.

Someone said he preferred to control parameters with faders.

If you're doing things like fx send, cutoff, whatever with faders it's probably nicer to have shorter non motorized faders that you can violently throw around rather than the long throw faders on the bcf which are more suitable for mixing.

ah, that does make sense then.

i'm really curious about the feel of the crossfaders on these controllers? how is the x-session fader? is it fast and loose (like your mom) or is it slow and sticky?

i want a scratch-style fader plz

actually, i really just want serato + vestax mixer + 2 mkIIs

Fast and loose like my mother
