trick is to have a dj that knows how to use it as well. Some are just technically retarded. I guess that's why they only dj.

How accurate is it? Would i wire that up between the mixer and ableton, and it would sync ableton to the BPM of the deck? Sounds interesting.....thanks mate.

it works like all the other looping products they make. but it listens to the audio from the decks and generates a midi clock for ableton to be slave to. it's pretty decent timing (of course it depends on the records you play) but add the nudge buttons in ableton and bob's your uncle. just don't cue it up to listen to abelton's audio outs, otherwise you'll get something like a feedback loop and then the timing does some pretty crazy overcompensating.

ps - redsound sells them through ebay as well at 1/2 price most of the time.
