S4 price cut... Something's coming

[DarioJ]

A visual command center or some type of hub for NI's current and/or soon to be released module "k"ontrollers. Preload mappings, library storage, w/ plug and play ability. To me, LED outputs and RGB buttons give the convenience of not having to look at the screen (current market) but also makes room for screen real estate, or the lack there of.

Maybe Traktor DJ is a beta version? Computers are one side of the digital market that is essential and untouched by current manufactures... How's that for speculation!?

I hope they stick to the modular route, come out with Traktor 3, a Z4 mixer and platter controllers.

I'll buy a Z4 and 4 platter controllers thanks

Damn. NI just cost me a couple hundred dollars.

S4 used price will def drop to the s2 used price range seeing as the s2 will go extinct if the z1 becomes a sucess. S4 mkII would probably consist of standalone mixer functionality as many people feel that it was solely missing. Now as to it being launched alongside traktor 3? That's a good question that brings up a whole nother speculation, but more on that later. As towards what else I'd like to see besides standalone capabilities with the s4? Probably more remix deck functions as the original sample decks were for the s4 then they evolved. Umm maybe better build quality, but I doubt that would happen. And most def they'll add some new buttons and funtions on there including a flux mode switch and something for the "super effects". But only time will tell. My biggest thing... bigger jogs or rotating platers would be sick but would kill it cuz of weight and all that jazz... so not everyone can win. O well

id love a Z4, only if you could have 4 decks ( like songs / samples playing ) and then 2 remix decks for a couple F1's or maschine. so all together 6 decks, ( 4 tunrtables , 2 remix decks )

6decks? Wouldn't even be possible with traktor mah dude.... and 4decks regularly running is enough to keep a dj on his toesgenerally speaking. Now adding 2more additional remix decks? That's just absurd IMO...

Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, and many others use 4 decks in Traktor + Maschine + External effects, so in theory they are using 6 decks on their mixers (Xone:92)

If you need 6 decks to make music sound good, you're playing some boring ass tunes.

[SlvrDragon50]

That's the point of multiple decks. To add and subtract multiple sounds to create a new song..

Amen to that!
