Jog Wheel Question (XDJ-RX)
There was a demo unit of the XDJ-RX in-store but there weren't any USBs to try music with. I noticed when you turn the jog wheel with the slightest touch that it really goes for a spin. Compared to the DDJ-S1 and other CDJs, this is concerning as I'm wondering how far along in the track it goes when pitch bending. It seemed very loose, similar to the Numark Mixdeck. Owners of the XDJ-RX, how do you find the pitch bending and jog wheel?

Once you get used to it - it's awesome. Compared to the CDJ1000's it's very light, agreed - but getting used to this makes you more accurate and rapid adjustments, in my opinion of course. This is in vinyl mode I'm talking about, as don't use digital/CD mode myself.
Hi, compared to CDJs, how far ahead does the track move when pitch bending (if that makes sense)? I tried my DDJ S1 and the CDJ 800 again and if you imagine a clock, pitch bending with the jog wheel by turning it starting at 12 o'clock, it will end at around 5 or 6 o'clock, where the XDJ-RX seems to spin all the way back to 12 with a gentle spin. I love the set up of the RX, I'm just really iffy about how sensitive the jog wheel is. I used a similar feeling jog wheel on the Numark MixDeck as mentioned and hated it... whenever you'd slightly spin the wheel it would just fly/bend ahead... wondering if it's the same here.
Any additional insight is appreciated.
