    Here's my take

    Its def the X2
    It is a sample deck controller.
    I doubt it will have a sound card - even though that would have helped it compete with the K2 since it is a sample deck controller it has been designed to work along side another controller .... like the S2

    I would also expect a decent update to traktor 2 to add features which take advantage of the RGB illumination of the pads.

    Hopefully this means group sample loading, ability to append color tags to each samples/track in your library

    I'm personally more excited about the potential improvements to the software than the hardware itself

    ^ Exactly. Sampler controller makes sense as their next move.

    Wow! They're coming at the right moment for me . Was considering buying an additional X1, but with the X-LINK integration of the K2 I still don't know it for sure. Now, there's the X2 (?)!

    I'll hope that they have some kind of link-option and maybe with a built-in soundcard? Soundcard is not necessary, but I'm curious what the USP's are!

    Furthermore, I'll hope that they upgrade Traktor, so that you can MIDI Learn the MIDI Out!!! It's killing me to find all the channels one-by-one...

    I like RGB so much more than the typical red green yellow of the launchpad, apc, K2, etc. It's much more refreshing IMO, plus you get a ton of more color possibilites.

    Also, someone mentioned they won't be at NAMM. When will they be releasing their new products then?
    Sorry if it's a stupid question.

    Perhaps! Apart from I hope they keep the knobs in the same position as they were on the X1. Maybe add one on for good measure...

    Excited on seeing the development on this product. I just recently got an s2 and have fallen in love with NI products. Can't wait to see how this controller turns out
