I guess this is a question for the Denon Staff more than everyone else but all comments/replies welcome.
I understand the pro go is a cheap unit compared to most but can’t help thinking that the small pitch faders are made even smaller by the deadzone coming off the centre lock (not using sync btw)
There’s at least a good 5mm movement (either way) coming off lock position before the bpm changes even registers a movement which makes an already small pitch fader have an even smaller range.
I know you can increase the pitch range (8,10,12etc) but that’s not what I’m discussing here, besides the higher you go the less you can make finer adjustments.
I presume/hope this can be sorted via software instead of hardware as technically there is no mechanical platter to which needs to be sped up/slowed down so it must be a digital signal to which can be adjusted to reduce the deadzone?
I’m all ears if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick regarding this but any information is grateful.
It’s possibly just the component itself that isn’t manufactured to the same standard as higher end components. The ‘click’ in the middle is created by bearings if I recall and those have to disengage.
I played a vinyl gig last week with one mk2 and one mk3 1210, the mk2 was a nightmare around the 0 mark on the pitch fader, unfortunately I think this is just the way it is with clicky pitches.
Thought that might be the case, I remember the mk2s having a center lock & the mk3s having a button lock. good job I mix my D&B at a slightly faster rate so I stay away from the centre anyway but like I said just wondered that’s all.
I’d check my Mixtrack pro but the faders on it are quite long and only sending midi to Serato not sure it’s comparable.
With devices like the Numark I always wonder with the power of engine and the high res screen, what have they done to keep the price down to the level it is, and the components are the first port of call.
Would’ve thought a digital signal button lock would’ve been cheaper than a mechanical centre lock, although considering how small the pitch faders are I’m surprised there’s any lock at all & not just smooth all the way through the range.
Anyways it is what it is, still happy with it regardless.
Numark just had wrong decisions about pro+ hardware design, and they don’t even changed that in pro go controller.
First, the build in cheap onboard speakers should be removed and instead that they should have more space to put longer pitch faders.
