The Otus is supposed to be ready in a few months time with the raw version premiering some time in fall. We are very excited that most manufactures are noticing controllerism and begining to include cue point trigger buttons on their gear.
Two, there is another model planned called the Otus “Raw” (Pictured bellow) which is a more robust version with a real pitch slider and a nod to controllerism: 4 velocity sensitive cue point trigger pads. One, the prototype has all the final components and was surprisingly light even though it had a well constructed aluminum body. Its really too early to make any judgment calls about the device but some good news did come out of my time with them. They have a marginally functional prototype that was plagued by hardware failure due to trade show abuse. EKS, the makers of Otus, had promised a working model at Messe but did not get it done in time.
This black beauty had a lot of hype after we showed you the sleek looking mock-up from our exclusive report at NAMM. Some, like the Numark Ns7, were still in the exact same condition as NAMM, under a protective sheet of glass. Many of the new dj items we wanted to get our grubby little hands on were not functional or barely working.
Sadly, only the VCI-300 was really in testing condition. All of the dj brands are accounted for, and we were expecting working models of many of the new controllers that premiered at NAMM. Once a year, inside a massive series of connecting halls, music companies from around the world converge for the European version of NAMM.
