I suspect we’ll see a couple of incremental updates between now and NAMM 2015 in January. But NAMM is traditionally a big even for Serato, usually because a hardware manufacturer wants to unleash their new shiny.
Speaking of which, if you want to see the AMX in action, check out our video from BPM 2014 of DJ Rasp giving the AMX and its AFX sibling and thorough workout.
Nice gear, but only if AMX mixer had booth output (for monitoring) i would be interested.
Any club having installed monitors, would have a house mikser with a booth out. Extra outputs on the AMX would drive the cost up. You could always add piggy back rca cables and a volume wheel if you really need booth, or even split the HP signal.
For what it is, the AMX is pretty much spot on IMO.
Does the AMX have post-fader fx, when using Serato DJ fx?
And is it possible to assain different Serato DJ fx to each channel? Currently not possible on the Rane Sixty One!
The AMX works with all of the Serato Post Fader FX, and both FX units can be routed to either or both decks.

does this mean the CDJ-350 is now officially supported??? every time an update is released i wait for it, but this link looks like it is
It hasn’t been officially supported yet? I’ve been already using it with Serato HID mode. I think I have 1.6.
Sticker sync still not working.. :(
i’m really hyped about this – one question which i cant seem to find an answer to (and is a minor detail & probably wont stop me getting one) is does the fader curve adjust button that sticks out on front of the unit retract? seems like an unnecessary weak point? especially if its going in and out of bags etc…
That said either way i’m going to try and get my hands on one after they drop
The AMX is usb 1.1 and works with SDJ. My $1400 57SL is usb 1.1 but does NOT work with SDJ. WHATEVER. I will not give them my money again for what I already own. Thanks to Mixvibes for keeping the 57SL alive.
