Here's the first official video out of Pioneer about their new controllers - in this case the ITCH based DDJ-S1. It's much nicer to see the thing in motion and use rather than just photos. And this is also your chance to ask questions of Pioneer about these new units, as the skratchworx team will be spending a good amount of time with Pioneer and want to make sure all bases are covered.

Seeing it in use, it does seem a lot more compact than I first thought. And it's cool to see a DJ who isn't scratch focussed using the more creative options in ITCH.

OH SHIT! Literally spits coffee out moment. Dave Eserin said "with scope for incorporating popular plugins like Video-SL and The Bridge…" at the end of the clip. Looks like the future is bright for ITCH users.

So if you have questions, get them in now

that's a great video. the visual feedback from the platter is a slick touch. the grid editor is nice too. i don't use Itch so i have no idea how useful that is.

i need to change my pants

lmao

Looks like quite a good product. I will look forward to seeing the Traktor based one in use also.

Wow, now where's the TS1 video at? Damn you Pioneer!

They're not gonna do a video for a product that costs more and has less capabilities than the S4! ;)

Can you feel the love brother? ;)

SLIP MODE IS AWESOME!!! This is massive!

That thing is freaking huge. No way it'll fit in any DJ booth. ;)

I know Brother Love is big, but the controller is no way bigger than the S4. :D

Unless that's a 10" laptop it's quite a bit wider than the S4 I think. Doesn't matter though as I was really just taking a dig at all the people saying the S4 was huge. :D

I know, I know... Just happy to play the part. ;)

I like slip mode and needle drop. thats it. not worth 1600 buck tho imo

My only complaint is that I have a 17" and prob won't fit under it. It'll have a larger market for more traditional DJ's, but for controllerist the S4 is an obvious choice.

Can't find the specs on the laptopdock, but will be keeoing an eye on it.

Though it would be a great miss, if Pioneer did not account for this one.

S4
Depth: 32.2cm / 12.7''
Height: 5.2cm / 2''
Width: 50cm / 19.7''

The Pioneer is wider and thicker. The ladies are going to flock to any DJ toting this thing around.

I have placed a question to Pioneer. Let's wait until we get a response. :D

not bad
