Ok, got one.
Pitch resolution is around 0.2 at 100% in 1.0.3. So they do not have 0.05 at every pitch range, let alone better at the lowest ranges.
Jog bend needs a sensitivity setting in utility/preferences and possibly some adjustment of the way it’s even implemented. Arguably oversensitive and weird and even unpredictable at times. And this is coming from a frequent user of the Hanpins (that have very sensitive but predictably-sensitive jogs) and Pioneers and vinyl and your legacy, touchy DN-HS5500 7" rotating platters. Great that the SC5000 has no deadzone and even little amounts do something, but not quite intuitive even after 6hrs on the SC5000. I’d rather use the Gemini MDJ-1000 jog bend than the SC5000 right now, too.
You might want to add an option in utility/preferences for the dreaded jog bend deadzone… maybe. Along with changing its curve or whatever is feeling wonky about it and adding adjustable sensitivity, an optional Pioneer-like deadzone might entice and satisfy people that would miss it. Just a thought.
I definitely want ability to lock key somewhere other than zero.
Still want retro mode even now that I’ve got one. Waveforms shmameforms (especially the moving one and those distracting BPM counters).
Absolutely unquestionably need a SPDIF sample rate selection in utility/preferences, as the PPD9000 won’t accept 96khz. I’m having no issues obviously on DJM800 or MP2015 since they accept 96 in. Need me my tube mode, though, and want to put three SC5000s side by side with the PPD9000 below/in-front of them to keep everything close.
Not being able to set a main cue and hot cues before the track is analyzed is a hassle. And here I thought the need to pause the DN-HS5500 to set the cues and hot starts (when holding record) was annoying. Wow. Yeah, that needs resolving.
When I have changed layers and load a new track, there’s no reason for the soft takeover of the pitch fader to be doing its thing and requiring me to move the fader to the layer’s former pitch position. A new track on a layer should cause the pitch fader to register exactly where it currently is at.
Is analysis even absolutely necessary? Sure, adding the feature of allowing cues be set even before analysis is finished is certainly a good idea, but for someone not even interested in the waveforms at all, an option to disable analysis would be nice.
Anyway, i’m pretty darn impressed.
