For 99 notes, wannabe DJs can get a pair of point and looping controllers designed for use with laptops, CDJs, turntables and mixers. They glow bright red/green, look like dice (kind of) and roll dem phat beatz out. Or something.
Connecting via USB, they come bundled with Serato Scratch Live software and removable putty for affixing on laptops or decks. If you happen to own a Technics 1200 turntable, however, they actually mount into the adaptor hole.
Out now for $US99, they sound like one of the easiest and cheapest ways to experiment with DJing (if Cue-Point, Loop Rolls and Auto-Loop features is what you’re after). [Novation via ChipChick]

the Serato scratch live software is FREE to download. Its just a player without the SSL audio interface hardware.You wont even be able to enter the midi tab to map out the buttons
The dicers are useless without the Serato Hardware also, Searto hardware costs around 700-900 for the audio interface. not to mention the mixer. ‘
Dont mean to sound rude, just thought id give you the facts.
