Ok lemur already failed on this and that was 10 times better why repeat the same failure.

@MrUniqueosmosis Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Although the Emulator and Lemur might be niche products at the moment they do offer a great deal of flexibility as well as flare when on stage performing a set. This year we will see a large number of new innovative leaps in DJ control surfaces. Smithson Martin seem to be in the foreground of this. The software can be installed on tablets as well and customized to work with DAW's like Ableton Live to broader control of parameters.

why do we need this?

@1p0rnstar Hi, thanks for watching and for your feedback! The Emulator software can be customized to add more control to your Traktor or Ableton Live sets which is exciting as you can map macro controls to create exciting transitions and layers of effects.

@WinkSound Thanks for responding, I think with Lemur being a player software now and working with Ipad IOS they have sealed a place with a wider audience if they can make a software for the android it would be a different story but the price point is unrealistic.
