By the looks of it the S5 will control Stem/Remix deck volume/filter/fx sends in the same fashion the S4 does now. No timecode or standalone capabilities as a result of the simplified inputs but at least it has Booth outputs!

I think I might grab one of these since it should be quite more portable than the S8 and I already have Stem controls with the Twister

I like the look of this - have no need for timecode control so this is perfect.

When they cut in into 3 pieces and put jogwheel on it - then I'll be interested. Until then - meh.

Been praying for a Z2 Mk2 but "meh" city over here.

Nice update, I may get one depending on the remapping capabilities. If it's too closed, I'll pass once again.

I wouldn't keep my hopes up. If they ever do so I'm pretty sure they will open it simultaneously with the S8 and D2.

What would you want added to a Z2 Mk2?

Dual USB ports, Capacitive Knobs, FX Send/Return, Freeze Mode, EQ Kill buttons.

I love Traktor but if it can steal some of the turntable mixer ideas going on in Serato land that would be a Traktor Fanboy goldmine.

MEH just another flashy toy.

WORD. Just make it 2 channels or 4 channels options and they would make a serious dent in the DVS market. Sick of these controllers without jogwheels, STEMS, etc. from Traktor. Look at Pioneer, they are doing it right... Of course minus the price tag.

Also not a leak. This happens far too often to be anything but managed PR.

What's the difference between this and the S8??

one of the best things about using 2 X1s is having simultaneous access to play/cue/sync/hotcues for all four decks at the same time

Feels like NI have drunk their own remix deck/stem kool aid

Any clue how could I effectively sync a MASCHINE to that thing?

I currently use one of the S4 inputs of to send the audio in as a live input, but this S5...uhm...

Maybe we have to expect some kind of seamless TRAKTOR - MASCHINE integration in future Traktor Pro? releases??? That would definetly kick ass!!!!

I agree @beisi I like the idea behind the D2s but i don't think i'll ever get into Stems, well not for long while

Would rather X1mk3s with Displays

I love the mk1

I made sure to get two of them so I won't have to buy the mk2

Id honestly prefer this over the s8 just for space constraints. Now I have a reason to return my S8.

+1 ... The only thing better would be to add in screens and give you all 8 hot-cues at once. I also have a D2's but due to NI's inability to fault find the audio drop out issue I've returned to OS X 10.8.5 and Traktor 2.6.8 and my X1mk2's, and honestly they work better for my workflow.

perhaps its just me, but it seems rather redundant to pay extra money to put screens on a unit while ignoring the capable screen on your laptop.

I'm sad this has no DVS phono/line input. Complete PASS

Man i am glad that i got my S8 for 920€ otherwise i would consider to buy this but thx to that NI Summer Discount :)
