    Re: Deepgroove1 controller questions

    I sure wish I could help, but I don't know anything about that controller. Did the seller not provide information that would help you setup and connect the controller?

    Re: Taig - xylotex variable rapid rates

    I am using Xylotex boards as well and have never seen this issue. However, I'm using the older boards (6-8yrs old); are yours from this era, or perhaps newer?
