Behringer CMD PL-1

Behringer CMD PL-1 Overview:

• BEHRINGER COMMAND Series DJ Controllers give you what you've been looking for - a modular system of controllers that can be put together to suit your software needs. Each module is packed with professional features - from high quality faders to extensive MIDI feedback, plus those features are organized into logical groups. This gives you a clear idea of what each module is for and how it can be used, without needing to read a manual first. And all CMD controllers are class-compliant, meaning that no additional drivers are required - just connect and go.

Additional Overview:

• A Stand Alone Controller - The CMD modules work well as standalone controllers for a wide range of DJ and production software. Whether you're a DJ, producer, recording engineer, or hobbyist, CMD controllers make getting a hand on your software easy and affordable. They're big enough to be taken seriously, but small enough to fit easily into a backpack or messenger bag. And because they're modular, there's always room to grow if you decide you want or need even more control over your software.
• Using Multiple Modules - This is where the real power of the CMD controllers becomes clear. As a Serato ScratchLive user, you might only be interested in the DVS-1. But what if you want to use Bridge to incorporate Ableton Live into your setup? Easy! Just add an LC-1 next to your DV-1 and you're all set. Or what if you want to use a traditional DJ mixer, but still want MIDI control for Traktor's decks and effects? No problem, use a PL-1 and DV-1 together. Want to use Ableton Live exclusively? Get an MM-1 and LC-1 and you have control over 4 channels in Live. The possibilities are endless.
• CMD PL-1 Platter Control Module - Small enough to fit in a tight DJ booth, but big enough to deliver the performance you need, the PL-1 is a robust platter controller-no matter what DJ software you use.
• With its 4" touch-sensitive wheel, the PL-1 knows when you're touching it and where. Touch on the top, and the music stops just as if you were touching a record. Nudge the side of the platter and you'll get momentary changes in playback speed. It performs exactly as you've come to expect from years of turntable and CD deck use.
• However, unlike most other deck controllers, this little dynamo comes with a silky-smooth, high-resolution fader for precise pitch adjustments. If you use sync in your software and the deck pitch changes, there's a column of LEDs next to the pitch fader that lets you know what the pitch on the virtual deck has changed to - so you always know what's going on without looking at your screen.
• Only have room for one controller in your booth? Not a problem! The PL-1 supports deck switching for controlling up to four decks, so a single module is the perfect backup deck or add-on when using software that allows for more than two virtual decks.
• But just one controller? That's no fun - remember the old mantra "go big or go home?" So why not pair up four PL-1 controllers with an MM-1 Mixer module and enjoy the ultimate four deck experience"¦ 4 channels"¦ 4 platters"¦ No confusion. And still easily portable.
• Isn't it nice to have choices?
