Kontrol DJ KDJ500
Generic MIDI controller completely "Made in Spain". It offers many different control types (encoders, faders, wheels ..) which you can configure to your liking. No labels, but at least the Play and Cue buttons are distinguished by their green and red lighting, and other controls are fairly intuitive. Interesting are the mode selection buttons (SELECT), which allow you to set different functions in the same group of controls. Comes with adapters for attaching to a Rack.
