Allen & Heath launches the Xone:3D DJ controller

The Xone:3D is a combination of 4-channel DJ mixer, a multi-channel USB sound-card and MIDI controller with automatic BPM synchronization. It looks like this is the perfect tool for laptop-DJs and producers who are working with software like Ableton’s Live or Native Instruments’s Traktor DJ.

  2. Hi Mich,
    keep an eye on the xone:3d forum:

    Instead of the laptop soundcard you could use a PCMCIA or external USB/Firewire audio interface. I am using the Firewire Audiophile from M-Audio.
