After 29 or so responses to this question I’d thought I would add my 2 cents for what it’s worth. It’s all a matter of personal taste and each person’s ability to satisfy them selves musically. First and foremost music should be fun and challenging to the writer/performer. If one only can afford a DJX or is all that person requires and he/she can make music with it that makes them and others happy then I’d say the DJX is the right tool and choice. Often times we musicians argue about the most ridiculous things, remember what is gold to one person is junk to another. From a personal point I have a DJX along with a ton of other gear ranging from vintage Roland and Korg gear to newer gear such as a RM1X, CS2X, N5EX. I use the DJX when I’m inspired by a particular sound/loop and apply it as needed, I have done complete tunes with the DJX only and they sound great, you see my point is let’s respect each others opinions, and if what they compose isn’t your cup of tea look else where there is plenty of music around for us all.
