EKS OTUS is one of my fave DJ controllers
the ultimate object of desire

now it has a new version, the long awaited Otus RAW
many of you got excited now, I bet ;)
EKS will lauch the baby on NAMM 2010
but skratchworx already has some info
make sure to read the full thing, but here is a short brief

Unlike the original Otus, Otus RAW is equipped with two long and sturdy SL-turntable-style pitch sliders, one for each virtual deck. The Otus RAW also features large velocity pads and buttons allowing for fast and easy operation in a hectic club environment.
