Man , just stumbled on this. I had a Black C1, was the 1st one in UK outside of Woody's as I had a hook up with Vestax UK. I sold it to a friend to help fund a new house and your vid, just broke my heart again! lol thx man, happy music making
As a grown ass man, and I have no problem admitting I am a little jealous of the toy collection Swiftstyle. Its so dope! And much respect for always sharing these gems with your followers in the scratch community.
I went through this same process for my Vestax QFO 2 months ago. I had one and was a hip hop dj for years but I sold it. I finally tracked one down and paid a pretty penny for it. They only made 800 of them. This video reminds me of that whole process. So with that being said I feel your excitement and appreciation and understand it very well. Cheers Mate.
That red controller one is a thing of beauty! My buddy DJ Mana has a black one, but I don’t know how to use it!! I feel that it really helps to be classically-trained to get the most out if this thing!
Definitely a sweet turntable, looks pretty serious...Much Respect, Big Upz, & Mad Love to Swiftstyle, & to all the DJ's,& artists, & Portablists.......👍💪🙏😎
Since you're cutting lefty, iyou tilt the table at roughly 45 degrees you can get better button access with your thumb and keep your hand on the platter!
I remember I touched those thing in the DJ Shop in Seoul back in 2007~8 ish, it was really unique stuff along with Faderboard, (if anyone knows what that is, such an weird drone machine) Only if this one can generate its own tone (like on-board oscillator ) would be super awesome..!!
Cool toy you got there probably one of the most inovative products in turntablism. I hope it lasts you forever and if i where you i would try to get as many parts as i can while it is still possible so if anything goes wrong you don't have a piece of red obsolescence.
Luck man, I always wanted one of these to explore the midi capabilities, people like John Beez & Teeko have done some incredible stuff but nobody has really gone deep into programming melodies via hardware or DAW sequencer thus allowing you to cut & accent the tune as it plays back
Bought a lot of magazines back in the day when all the stuff was being brought out yeah this is one of the cool ones that I seen and I wanted to hear what could be done with one
There is a reason no other turntable is like the technic. New turntables are cool too though. Just a little practice, but you have to admit, nothing feels like a Technic 1200/10 MKii. Nice video, and cool turntable. I would use that with my records and my control vinyl.
I like this Vestax the new turntables very sharp brand new I love it I like it the great design and I like the color red Edition very sharp and very awesome and very clean and cool👍
Like 50 grand from Japan. Never to stand alone. It's Vestex or nothing for me. I'm rocken 2 Mk2 PDX decks, Rane TTM56 mixer, Roland Boss sampler. True School cool. Cheers
Is there anything the Controller 1 can do that the Reloop RP-8000 mk2 can't? I'd love to see a comparison. If there are any feature differences and you brought it to people's attention, maybe it would cause Reloop to include them in their next turntable to basically re-create a modern day Controller 1.
@@Swiftstyle Huge thanks if u do it! That would be sick. I just wrote to DJ Woody with the same idea. We need to resurrect the Controller 1 any way we can! Only 100 lucky bastards on the planet ever got to experience them. And that's just not enough to push the tablist game forward.
@@Swiftstyle A little update. I spoke directly to DJ Woody who worked with Vestax to help create the Controller 1s and he said the torque isn't quite there for the Reloop TTs so it's sluggish and sounds slurry on note changes. Maybe something you can look at to see if it's true if you ever do that comparison video. I also wrote to Rane to see if they have any plans on incorporating notation controls into their 12 MK2s type turns in the future but still no word back yet. I'm seeing if I can recreate the C1s notation control in some way with a combination of the S11s or Rane 72 MK2s and maybe a sampler if need be.
And still have no equipment always wanted to since I was 15 just scared to spend that kind of dough but I listen to a lot of music can imagine what I could do with one of those things controllers whatever the wheels of steel that’s technical
Rewinds happen by you not a reverse button, not hating, but I have a dope rewind. Took me years of practice , and I would need more to this day to pull it off
How does a platter damage a turntable if it is not removed? What kind of damage? I don’t think I have ever removed the platters on my 1200s. I’ve moved them plenty of times.
Techs are pretty stable when it comes to moving as long as they have some type of pressure holding them down. If not, I have seen a platter get loose and do damage to the top plate or even tonearm. But the way a Vestax platter connects is a bit different, It has screws and can possibly damage the motor if the weight of the platter it jumping around in a flight case. Moving it with the platter is typically how people get loose platters. It might be knit picking but one of the first things a buyer usually checks on a used table is the stability of the platter. Gig to gig it’s in your hands and you pretty much control it full time but when shipping or flying you never know when someone is gonna Ace Ventura your package lol. Hope this helps.
Swiftstyle super helpful! Yeah, I don’t gig with them. I’ve had them for 20 years and haven’t had problems, so probably good. Good to know because I was thinking of buying PDX 2000s. Have fun with the Controller One. It looks MINT!
Vestax was way more advanced than all the turntables.Technics is a good piece of instrument as well.But reloop 8000 mk2 works somewhat like this turntable.Hands down to vestax
What up god. Looking at the writing with a bit of graff in his SWIFT lol I would most definitely think it DJ QBERT. If not hands down on the dope vestax spinner.
vestax put so much money and effort into crazy products and they built everything so well

You are one of the lucky guy to own it. Awesome 👍👍👍😀
Damn that is tight. Congrats on the rare find. Can't wait to see your magic in the future with this turntable.
wicked find!
That’s mint as hell! Looks very good!
I always wanted one ever since I first saw them. But I had no idea they only made so few! Wow congrats.
finally i got to see this beast again.....after so so long...........👍🏻👍🏻
Dammm I remember that clip of John with the ONE and Talk Box....just DOPE and way ahead of the time. THX for this Video
Sick! 😮
I want one so bad....
Definitely a sweet turntable, looks pretty serious...Much Respect, Big Upz, & Mad Love to Swiftstyle, & to all the DJ's,& artists, & Portablists.......👍💪🙏😎
Wow...this is sweet, man.
Dope new toy !
holy grail shit
Ok, that's one I've never heard about. Interresting turntable.
oh i cant wait to see what routines you guys put up with that gem........................
Congrats on getting one. Looking forward to new content
Congrats dude!
Fire ! the only one turntable that I'm still dreaming for
congrats, that thing looks so beautiful
I had to change my pants after watching this video.
Happy for you Freddy! When I was in Tokyo 1 month ago I saw in a store 2 controller 1s stacked and for sale.
Darm the red pops off fuct just like a2S
Shout out from an old Asisphonics/D-Styles “FunkShitUp” forum member and dj gearhead.
Congrats, Freddy! Apparently, they manufactured 50 blacks and 50 reds. But you are right - we see a lot more blacks out there for some reason.
Never See that one BEFORE So dope
That's dope.It is time for swiftstyle to bring out a turntable..much respect to you and your crew bro.
If the shell is like the pdx 8000. it's made out of mdf and sprayed with autobody paint, hence the shine. I have a set of pdx 8000;s.
Since you're cutting lefty, iyou tilt the table at roughly 45 degrees you can get better button access with your thumb and keep your hand on the platter!
Been looking for one of these for years.

gongrats on finding 1!!!
Dopeness 👊💥👊💥 made it too the right hands..happy for you.
This is one of the best pornos ever made
Felicitaciones por tremenda joya amigo, saludos!!..
Those modes are dope!
Nice turntable 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Amazing.i have a qfo .i live in argentina.but i never can touch one of this. Thans for share
Dope af sir allways wanted one
Damn bro I'm looking forward to seeing you master this controller.
Luck man, I always wanted one of these to explore the midi capabilities, people like John Beez & Teeko have done some incredible stuff but nobody has really gone deep into programming melodies via hardware or DAW sequencer thus allowing you to cut & accent the tune as it plays back

Jimmy Jaz the MKii just hits different!
Swiftstyle the MK2 is solid, I’ve mixed on All and I found Vestax had trouble keeping time
I know that Ablilties has one ... looks so fire in real life.
Haha, my boy Beez. Played with him a couple times in my bedroom studio back in the day.
I wish another company would make a similar designed turntable. Even better if the new reborn Vestax could remake it.
Closest thing this reminds me of is the Reloop 8000 mk2
OMG thanks for the share.
GOAT
So cool 😎 Great vid💪🏻
I like this Vestax the new turntables very sharp brand new I love it I like it the great design and I like the color red Edition very sharp and very awesome and very clean and cool👍
I remember back in the day when Ricci Rucker was first talking about the concept behind this instrument.
OHM.R 1200 yeah, same. I wonder where he is?
the John Beeze Fader is crazy
damn . im kinda more interested in how you moded the fader
Like 50 grand from Japan. Never to stand alone.
It's Vestex or nothing for me.
I'm rocken 2 Mk2 PDX decks, Rane TTM56 mixer, Roland Boss sampler.
True School cool.
Cheers
hi!!! ooooohhh shhhh...... thats the best djpron ever seen :D. Congratulations!!!
I just got a QFO. Arrives today. Controller one is my other grail.
Hey Swift do you use transformer for this since it came from Japan?
Is there anything the Controller 1 can do that the Reloop RP-8000 mk2 can't? I'd love to see a comparison. If there are any feature differences and you brought it to people's attention, maybe it would cause Reloop to include them in their next turntable to basically re-create a modern day Controller 1.
Ben BamBoo I like the idea of a comparison video.

i Have The PMC 08. Boss Mixer! that turntable is SICK!!!
Gorgeous

ultra mega archi mega dope !
Welcome to the most elite club!
Also is it a 100v? If so you’re gonna need a step up transformer to 120v
What is you name?))))Congratulations to Freddy on the purchase of wonderful equipment.
Max Kane Rocks 2 RED'S!!
Rewinds happen by you not a reverse button, not hating, but I have a dope rewind. Took me years of practice , and I would need more to this day to pull it off
The ruck is pissed!
Omg bro.. that ish is dope.. I luv it...
LUCKY...... (in my napoleon dynamite voice)
Have you tried the Reloop 8000Mk2? Have a chance to pickup a damaged in shipping one for $499. Do you think I should grab it?
The grail of turntables has a number: 1200
1200 is more like a King and will always be my first love but you can't just go finding the Grail on FB marketplace.
WORDD!!
Mx5
This is a toy. The 1200 is a tool... or a finely crafted instrument.
And it's call Technics
excited what can you do with this
Rad man.
Awesome 👍
I hope you fixed that clip, i know its a small thing, but man.......congrats on getting this turntable
Would you remove the platter even in a turntable case?
I just ordered a button box to turn my pdx into a c1.

quite nice
The midi reliability on my pdx3000 is just not there. I'd love to get one of these.
great performance, nice melody. Thank you for the new videos
RIP Vestax 🙏
What’s the name of the song in that background? It’s too dope!
Heyy whats's the beat starting at 12:33 ?
nice.
That's the first one i have seen and i've never see any videos about it till now that being yours
100 AKA 50 Pairs ..
If I'm not mistaken if I'm not mistaken didn't that company went out of business?
yoo wtf I'm never seen a setup like ur homie's before with that weird vertical scratch fader mechanism. what the heck is that called??! xoxo gracias
Fretless fader
