Pros
Tough and compact. Massive number of controls. Channel switching is brilliantly implemented. Copious setup options. USB class-compliant and bus-powered. Perfect for Live DJs.
Cons
Expensive.
Verdict
The only thing stopping the Killamix Mini scoring higher is its price tag. It’s a superb ‘boutique’ MIDI controller in every other respect.
