Very interesting still excited to see more knowing that it's going to be Traktor compatible.

I'd be interested to see how they deal with pitch fading as there isn't a traditional fader for that... Maybe those stripes to the right of the jog wheels are touch sensitive?!

It seems quite different from the 1D/2D in terms of the various controls so I'll be interested to see how they map each of those banks of buttons as standard

Bring on Saturday and more information!!

Wow, I stand corrected.

So Itch is going 4 decks, I just sold my 300 was gonna get some cdj2000s..

Not now - deffo going for this - looks awesome

[derjay]

finally 4 lines of faders and rotaries for internal mixing, I just bought an external mixer to have that kind of control and seriously felt that this was really anachronistic.
I really wondered why no one really did that before, too bad that it's gonna have an A+H price tag.

f*cking hell, looks like i'll be selling my vci300 as well.....

[Stumpy]

If this is somewhere in the range of 700 euros or under, it might just be my future weapon of choice.

Here's a better looking picture.http://www.divky.com/upload/xone_dx.jpg

Edit: Anyone else noticed the "20 channel soundcard" part?

[psylozen]

f*cking hell, looks like i'll be selling my vci300 as well.....

Yeah, first thought into my head was, 'damn, do I have to sell my djm800?'

Think I'll hold off til I got a teeny bit more info tho... like, wait for it to be released, and then wait a few months of ppl putting it through it's real wold paces. See how it holds up.

Looks sweet tho (:

Who needs a kidney? Better start mowing more lawns...

Any hi rez pics found would be amazing. Want to see that 20 channel back panel!

[jonparker]

Not sure if you guys realise but I'm pretty sure by 20 channel sound card, they're referring to mono ins and outs

e.g. (likely) 4 pairs of stereo inputs (8), 4 pairs of stereo outs (8 more) and some digital ins and outs I guess

Some sort of cross between the Xone 2D and 4D soundcards
