Needless to say, this is a small controller. To move to a controller the size of the Slate 4 is really jarring, but hey, that’s what makes this gig so awesome. BUILD AND CONTROLSįor context, I’ve spent the last few weeks staring at the behemoth of the Kontrol S8. Gemini seems to be building on the quality of the G2/4V with the Slates.
#SERATO DJ INTRO VS SERATO DJ HOW TO#
The offerings for inexpensive smaller controllers have always been there, but they generally feel like either pandering to brand-new DJs who don’t know how to use any of the tools available, or they are tightly crammed full of so much stuff and made so poorly that it’s hard to recommend them to anyone. We have been talking about the movement in DJ controllers for a few years now, as they have been just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, to almost comical sizes.
We saw them briefly at NAMM last year, but they were very much prototypes and did not look nearly as nice as the controller that arrived at my front door just a few weeks ago. They come in a 2 channel (Slate 2) and 4 channel (Slate 4) variety, and all include Serato DJ Intro, with a full, robust mapping for the full version of Serato DJ if you decide to upgrade. Gemini has stepped up their offerings with the miniature version of the G4V and G2V, the Slates. The big weakness of the G4V at the time was it only included VDJ LE, and while it came stock with a Traktor TSI file, you needed to provide your own software. Starting with the G4V, which we gave a pretty positive review, Gemini has slowly begun redefining their place in the the DJ market with a new industrial look, and a good price point.
