The controls are completed with a nice stepped infinity knob for track selection and left/right load buttons. Meanwhile, the mixer section is simply two line faders, a nice (but cramped) crossfader, and levels for cue and main. Yup, it’s strictly a Midi controller – no audio interface here.Įach deck has a small dual-use jogwheel (edge to nudge, top to scratch/scrub), pitch fader, two cue buttons, (rather unnecessary) pitch bend controls, plus play/pause and cue buttons – and the obligatory “sync”. The left-hand end of the unit has a USB socket (and an LED to tell you if the batteries are in use – there is room for two AA batteries for using it with tablet devices)… and that’s it for inputs and outputs. It’s the same design school as the Behringer CMD Studio 4A – but whereas that controller is let down by cheap-feeling jogs, this one is as pro-feeling as any. The bottom has six rubber feet, the casing is plastic, and the top plate is thick brushed metal. Think the “control” half of those dual-box CD players from a few years back. ![]() The CMD Micro is a pro-feeling unit: Quite deep, and definitely heavy for its size. ![]() The box contains (in addition to the unit itself) a USB cable, some instruction/quickstart/warranty leaflets, and a slip of paper with details of how to get your free Deckadance LE software. ![]() Having been out of the DJ controller game for many years, Behringer has certainly decided to barge its way back in with a controller to cover every base. From the full-sized CMD Studio 4A to five modular controller (yes, five – we’ve got reviews of ’em all scheduled), there’s something for everyone – including the micro DJ controller enthusiasts, which is whom the Behringer CMD Micro Midi Controller, reviewed here today, is aimed at.
