i'd say before you get too entrenched in LSDJ start learning piggy, they're very similar but in my experience if you know lsdj in a second nature kind of way switching can feel unnatural, and i just prefer the sounds you can get with piggy, might need to get myself another device for pigging soon :\

Yes this one will be raffled at the next 8static on May 19th, with more details revealed soon!
I have it here now, and I can say it's really a very nice design, and will probably be getting one for myself when it's released.
