CMD LC-1 Live Control Module

Ableton Live is amazing and powerful 

software, adding new DJ converts on a 
daily basis. While the benefits of Live for 
DJ use are clear, compelling hardware 
control can be a challenge. As a DJ, 
do you move away from the workflow 
you’ve been using for years and feel 
comfortable with? Or do you map Live to 
a traditional controller, but miss out on 
the number of buttons needed to trigger 
clips effectively? The CMD LC-1 provides 
the best of both worlds.

The LC-1 is a clip triggering machine. 

The clip section has 32 buttons that are 
backlit in multiple colors and respond to 
MIDI feedback. But Live isn’t just about 
clips; it’s also about effects. So there’s 
an effects control section above the clip 
area, with 8 encoders and 8 buttons. 
Below the clip area there are also buttons 
for channel mute, solo and record.

On its own, the LC-1 makes a great 

controller for clip management, as 
well as a great addition to any Serato 
ScratchLive user’s Bridge-based setup. 
But when paired with the MM-1 Mixer 
module, this dynamic duo turns into a 
fantastic Live controller – combining 
the clip triggering and effect tweaking 
power of the LC-1 with the smooth 
mixing and scene navigating capabilities 
of the MM-1. Are you a producer in 
need of a beat creation station? Throw a 
DC-1 into the mix for 16 pads of digital 
drum destruction.

And remember that at its heart, 

the LC-1 is an array of assignable buttons 
and knobs. So, why not use it to access 
cue points in Virtual DJ or Traktor? Or with 
a step sequencer? The LC-1 can handle all 
this and more with ease.

CMD PL-1 Platter Control Module

Small enough to fit in a tight DJ 

booth, but big enough to deliver the 
performance you need, the PL-1 is a 
robust platter controller—no matter what 
DJ software you use.

With its 4

"

 touch-sensitive wheel, 

the PL-1 knows when you’re touching 
it and where. Touch on the top, and the 
music stops just as if you were touching 
a record. Nudge the side of the platter 
and you’ll get momentary changes in 
playback speed. It performs exactly as 
you’ve come to expect from years of 
turntable and CD deck use.

However, unlike most other deck 

controllers, this little dynamo comes with 
a silky-smooth, high-resolution fader 
for precise pitch adjustments. If you use 
sync in your software and the deck pitch 
changes, there’s a column of LEDs next to 
the pitch fader that lets you know what 
the pitch on the virtual deck has changed 
to – so you always know what’s going on 
without looking at your screen.

Only have room for one controller in 

your booth? Not a problem!  The PL-1 
supports deck switching for controlling 
up to four decks, so a single module is 
the perfect backup deck or add-on when 
using software that allows for more than 
two virtual decks.

But just one controller? That’s no 

fun – remember the old mantra “go big 
or go home?” So why not pair up four 
PL-1 controllers with an MM-1 Mixer 
module and enjoy the ultimate four deck 
experience… 4 channels… 4 platters… 
No confusion.  And still easily portable.

Isn’t it nice to have choices?
