Reflex release just around the corner
Ryan, the sales director for PCDJ.com, has informed me that the launch of Reflex from GizmoLabs, Inc. is right around the corner. If you don't know what Reflex is, you should go here http://www.pcdj.com/products/dj-software/reflex/ The screenshot is not real. It's a mockup I did to see what the GUI would look like with darker tones. Custom skins 'virtual controllers' are not going to be available for the initial release. Certain components are removable and stretchable and the base GUI auto-sizes.

Serato adds support for 3 controllers in Scratch Live 1.8.1; Denon DN-HC4500, Denon DN-HD2500 and Numark DMC2.
