About this product
The Novation Dicer is a compact, USB-powered single deck controller designed for cue point and looping control. It features 8 pads, 2 decks, and 2 channels, with a modular form factor that integrates easily into existing setups. The device includes a 3.5mm TRS input and supports loop/sampler effects. It is black and manufactured in Japan.
Our take
As a DJ who values quick access to cue points and loops, the Novation Dicer is a handy little tool. It's USB powered, so no extra cables cluttering my setup. The 8 pads are responsive and let me trigger cues and loops on the fly. I like that it's modular—I can place it wherever fits my workflow. However, it's a single deck controller, so if you're mixing on two decks, you might need two units. The 3.5mm input is a bit limiting, and the build feels a tad plasticky. Overall, it's a useful accessory for loop-based performance but not a full mixer replacement.
