Akai really knew what they were doing. Akai AMX review

This little mixer is long discontinued but it was such a great little controller/mixer for its time. It still holds up today, despite some of its dated quirks. With a set of turntables you can build a DVS system for pretty cheap, but keep in mind that the Serato DVS upgrade isn't priced the way it once was.

Thank you for sharing. Shame they discontinued.
Thank you for sharing.
The twisting nudge function using the search knob at the top is amazing! So good for fine tuning mixes. No decks required. The best "mini" controller out there. Definitely slept on!

I agree. They get some much functionality out of simple rotary knobs it's pretty astounding that no one has copied that design.
Right now I'm deciding between the three units you mentioned (Akai AMX, NI Z1, and Reloop Mixtour). However, I'm using a rather unusual software setup, so my question for this (and the Z1) is: Do you need to use the specific software it was designed for, or can you access the sound card and midi parameters from any software?

It really depends on the software. For example my AMX works perfect in VDJ, Serato, and MIXXX without any programing on my end. If you are fine with midi mapping any of them should work with any software, but it's easier with software that has a mapping already waiting.
in 2024 what could be a better alternative to AMX ? a modular dj digital mixer ...

There aren't many options left. The best modern option would be something like the Releep Mixtour using Phase in HID mode or something along those lines.
Numark pro tt 1 turntables? 😮

Very similar. TT-100. Very happy with them, especially at the $150 CAD I paid for the set.
