looks like it is being wasted on traktor, it would be much better at mixing 4 stems of two tracks for the ultimate minimal mix experience

It makes sense controlling sample decks, not main tracks. The video is pretty thin on content/functionality. Maybe they just wanted to show how it lights up?

Definitely agree with you there Synthet1c. With a little step sequencer action at the bottom for when you fancy getting fruity with the blips and clicks!

This really makes me want beatport to start selling stems from tracks from big artists. I don't understand why this hasn't happened in a bigger way, especially after so many artists have stated that they beleived in a culture of music whereby music was free (I certainly wouldn't mind paying btw) and everyone could reinvent it and develop others musical ideas.

imho stem will never be sold in bulk, a few producers will get on board, but artists never will, because if they do they are selling thier individual sound that they spent years developing. Even when you get producer packs you never get the real sounds of the most current music, only sounds from 2 - 3 years ago.

Honestly I don't blame them, because it prevents oversaturation of one sound and encourages creativity and development of skills.

I see your guys view on the controller but me personally am excited about this. I can basically take my production live for happy hardcore. Like i switched from Traktor to ableton when i dj and I have never looked back. I mean I have Ms Pinkys so i can use jog wheels off my DN SC2000. And right now I have an APC20 but like all the controls on this is appealing to me.
