Futuremusic writes that Denon has just announced DN-X1600, a digital DJ mixer with built in USB sound card, 4 MIDI layers and Roland’s V-link. The V-Link enables you to control some of Roland’s video equipment like the effects of the V-4 and V-8 mixer, linking them to the tempo of the music. Futuremusic claims that the V-link is the hottest feature of Denon’s new mixer. Any VJ who has played around with the effects on the V-4 and the V-8 knows how cheesy they are. So if this is the hottest feature of Denon’s new mixer - I’d say it’s not so hot. If you link poo to the tempo, it will just become rhythmic poo.
