My thoughts exactly...but at least I have a birthday coming up in about a month!! The DMX-70 is really pushing the classification of "dj controllers". I like that. It's something that I could set up for a concert with PARs (4pack dimmers, 3 packs to a fixturebutton) and LEDs (4 channel fixtures, 3 to a fixturebutton) and scanners/moving heads (one to a fixturebutton) and really maximize with the scene and chase buttons. With eight scenes and six chases plus direct control from fixture buttons+faders, you really have a nice, small on-the-fly palette! I like that. I think that it blows all of the ADJ controllers in that price range away, no question!
Now Bill, aren't you glad that I brought up the DMX70 and the Jrs? Look at all this business you're getting!
And the best thing about ordering from Bill and ESC is that you actually call using a phone and talk to Bill! You can order online, but you're usually cheating yourself in terms of pricing.
I read a review for this unit (on Amazon) which said the fader values are jittery. Do you think this was a defective unit, or do you have similar issues?
I wonder if any "jitters" came from a fixture at low speed with only 8-bit movement capabilities or an LED where the fade time was very long. Either of these can cause a "jitter."
What's funny is that the DMX70 could oustrip the leprecon in just about every aspect except number of faders, where the fixture buttons easily make up for this with a nice version of paged faders.
