    I wouldn't expect a standalone NI player anytime soon. What would be the market for it?

    Too low quality for booth gear, and you may as well bring a laptop with Traktor if you're bringing gear at all.

    Bottom line is, NI is not prepared to go toe to toe with pioneer. They would instead prefer to work alongside pioneer ensuring that NI products are compatible with the industry standard. This makes more sense from a sales point of view. The z4 may be a dream for all of us but its just not a feasable reality. The price would have to be set too high to compensate for the low volume of units which would sell. Maybe in a couple years when NI is a household name.

    I really don't understand how these rumors perpetuate htemselves >.>

    Not even an announcement and everyone believes the Z4 is getting made.

    Maybe better pots, but I doubt metal.

    I know, i know... even though deep down inside i hope NI to redesign the whole thing from the ground up. Bigger full metal case design, USB 3.0 NHL support, Bigger jogwheels with settable magnetic breaking and rotation indication lighting, full sized velocity sensitive RGB pads, two color displays on top of the decks with full settings of what's displayed (realtime waveform, track names, effect parameters), two x-pads or one xy pad, asymmetrical layout (à-la pioneer controller style), touch sensitive rotary encoders & EQ knobs with LEDs around them (like the ns7 II).
    With the current tech, it IS possible to do. And they'd pretty much monopolyze the whole controller industry with it.

    But would it sell?
