Novation Twitch

Here are couple of reviews on the new Novation Twitch controller. I've been itching (ha ha) for more info on this piece of gear ever since it was announced. I love the Novation gear I currently have, and as audio interface knowledge comes from Focusrite, I'm pretty confident that this is a solid piece of gear. My only reservation is that there's no Bridge for Itch/Ableton, and that the Bridge apparently requires a up-to-date computer ($$$). Therefore I'm still looking towards Torq and it's ReWire abilities.

Anyways, here's for more info on Twitch:

Firstly the DigitalDJTips review, which goes through the basic features quite extensively. Unfortunately the Slicer part, which is of great interested to the Ableton users searching for more fluid DJing options is left out.

Phil also made a video review:


There's also a review of the new version of Itch on the DJTT site.

DJTechTools has also made a review. Of course Ean Golden, who is the head of the site mentioned having been involved in designing Twitch, so you might want to take the review with a grain of salt. On the other hand there's a better explanation on how the Slicer works.

As a bonus. Max4Live magician S4racen has also received the unit, apparently as a courtesy of Novation. I can only assume there's going to be a nice integration to Ableton directly (although there's no runtime for Max4Live, which frankly, is bs). His initial reactions are found at ALDJ forums (requires registration).
