Novation Launchpad
so, have you seen this thing? it's freaking nuts. you can do literally anything with it, as long as you have a spare usb port.
unfortunately, when i bought my macbook pro 13", i didn't realise (okay, i did realise, but i bought it anyway) that it only has 2 usb ports.
which are for the most part, both taken up by a left and right pioneer cdj when im out.
leaving a grand total of 0 usb ports at my disposal. so, bye bye novation launch pad possibility :( would have been a good effects pad.
so my options are...
A) trade up to either a 15" or 17" macbook pro. gay. too big.
B) buy a usb to firewire convertor. i have a spare firewire port, but i know these convertors don't exists, so i'm not sure why i've listed it as an option
C) find a similar effects pad that uses firewire instead of usb. which i have already been looking for.... for months... and months
D) learn to juggle sharp knives; crowd will be distracted and won't notice the lack of mind blowing effects

Dude - you just need to buy, like a 6 port USB hub to extend the number of ports for your musical wowness.
ReplyDeletei did try to hub the two pioneer cdj900's from one port, and the end result was similar to pooing in my laptop. it totally screwed both soundcards up. although now i do have a slightly better understanding of how soundcards are installed, i should probably try it again :)
