Official DJ Dao Pop'n ASC Thread (Now Available!) - Page 2

These will definately hit big. Are there going to be different designs like the DJ DAO ASC's? I was also going to ask. The screw look like they would hurt. I know this is like a prototype and it isnt unfinished but are other screws going to be used? The price of under $200 is hella appealing too. Im sure theyll sell out quick so I was wondering if you could give an estimate on how many units your making for the first batch?

If the design on the top of the controller is swappable, and DJ Dao starts selling just some designs for the controller, that would kick ass so much. So we would just have to buy a design and just swap it for a different look (unlike DASC controllers where the design is painted on).

Is it exceptionally loud when you're banging on it? The Ransai I have is much quieter than a DA.

Arimasen · 10-19-2006, 08:12 AM

Yeah I hope its not as loud as my DA... Man that thing is loud.

djdao · 10-19-2006, 09:57 PM

what is loud,what is not loud?
can you show?

Popnyin · 10-20-2006, 01:57 PM

This looks great!
But I wonder what buttons are used for the controller , is it arcade button?

Soren · 10-20-2006, 04:19 PM

This controller looks absolutely amazing - I haven't been playing Pop'n Music for quite a while - but this is what it takes to get back into the game. I really want one when it comes out !

What I did to test the loudness was I placed both my DA and Ransai in the same spot on the same surface and banged away at them. Tested on both a solid wood surface like a table and on a keyboard stand.

Wish I could get a video so here's a description.

The DA made a more definite harder sound like two wood planks banging against each other. The DA is SOLID. The controller's walls are very thick and were glued together perpendicularly. The DA was loud no matter which surface I played on.

The Ransai has a softer sound and I can actually hear the microswtiches clicking. Didn't sound like it was made of solid plywood either even though it actually is made that way. The walls are miter cut, too at 45 degree angels. I think they're called rabbit-joints? Not sure but I was told those reduce noise. It was less noisy on the keyboard stand.

I've played on other Ransais and DAs and each sound the same.

I'm considering getting (yet another) controller. I'm concerned with noise-levels due to where I live and the late night hours I'd rather play during.

I used to have the Controllica ASC, and eventhough it was made from metal I wasn't as loud as you would expect.

Edited: Due to questionable activities I have opted not to support this product at this time. Sorry!

I would like to ask how heavy the controller is? Some of my friends told me the konami ASC biggest problem was the weight of the controller , it was too light......when they play on it the controller always moves and makes the gameplay become very difficult.

Digi379 · 10-22-2006, 07:28 AM

This looks awesome! I'm tempted to get one, but probably not before 2007, I have so many things I want to buy (Final Fantasy 12 US, IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY Limited Edition, Christmas presents... yeah, I prefer buying them in advance!). But who knows... maybe I'll get enough money sooner.

And the price is definitely worth it too: less than half the price of a Konami pop ASC, geez! I'll pop in here from time to time to see what you guys are thinking of those controllers.

(PS: **looks at Dao's signature** DJ Dao shows us how to play The Dirty of Loudness!
