There were a lot of di hard midi gurus who had DJX's. They were selling for $299 and that price was just too tempting for many. I belonged to several DJX forums (not up and running any more) and there were A LOT of midi gurus who had the DJX on those forums. I was even seeing in mags (showing personal studios) and the crazy thing is you'd see all this top end gear.., but there was lil o'l blue sitting there too

There was a surprising number of experienced players who bought the DJX solely because it was SO unique and damn cheap for what it did and how it sounded.
