And the funny part is Dan is the one who started the joke, I believe!

I would of liked to have seen just a whitelight or blueish light option for all pads ... But, getting bent out of shape about this aspect of the unit is just plain ridiculous ! The lights will have pratical uses for those that need them.

exactly. for me, i wish they would just have chosen better colors. but with that said, who knows, in person it might be okay. and i have the same gripe with maschine, i would have prefered blue or something other than orange - I simply don't like orange.

but whatever, its nothing to get upset about, id rather have ugly lights than no lights, its super useful on maschine.

why are u mad? surely u can see the use of the light up pads if someone is playing the ren out live?

if they dont like them they can just turn them off.

they can also group pads by color instead of lighting them by velocity.

so there's that.

Dan,

Will there be some kind of "sleep mode" for the controller? That is, if I dont have the software running (basically I'm not making beats) and i have the controller usb still plugged in, will it sleep?

That way if you arent making beats you can leave it plugged in and not worry about:

1.lights/pads/screen dying faster because they are always on
2.screen burn
3.more drainage of power from laptop
4.usb connector on controller wearing out faster

I think there's a power switch on the back of the Ren. I don't know about the Studio though?

The Ren is starting to look cool now
