Native Instruments Kontrol X2 & S2 in Q4'11?

Just got an email from NI saying there bundling x1 with a free copy of TP2 so my money is on a replacement for the x1 as it looks like there trying to get rid of stock.
Possibly something more sample deck orientated?

I hope that its a controller that is built like a rock, doesn't mess with jogs but expects ppl to add turntables or cdjs

Because that is what I am looking for, smaller controller but one that Im not nervous about bringing out. It can serve as a mixer with transport controls.

Also a mixer that does not need a laptop and can be standalone.

I don't think they think like that.

idk if NI is capable of that.
not much experience in the analog world

they need to step up their quality in the midi world in order for people to consider an analog mixer from them.. I guess they could hype it like the S4.
BUT.. if they drop a 4 channel analog mixer you would have to imagine it being more expensive than the S4 (if not I really fear for its quality)
BUT in that price range you have Xone 42s, x1600s, Ecler NUO 4s, used pioneers.

The only reason NI stands a chance is because they can afford to give away TSP2 free with their gear.. w/o that they are out of the picture

So basically a NI branded Xone 1D?

It should be something pretty good considering any time NI gives out big offers like this, it means something special is coming out soon. Now we wait for another cryptic video and even more speculation.

something like an x1 wth some faders would be nice.. that and like 600 more buttons 50 more knobs and a pitch wheel and and and....
