Come on NI, launch this, then launch some more modular stuff next spring.

My point exactly mate. No one who is anyone will use it, and promoting it as something new and exciting when theres already stuff out there that does it all anyway (X1MK2+F1+Mixer for instance) is a bit laughable.

Im with you on the modular stuff, build and takeaway as you see fit is a much better option imo.

But hey, we're talking about IMPORTANT things here

A X2 and X4 along with a Z4 wouldn't go astray, modular wise.

NI really doesn't care if big name festival DJs uses their products. Big DJs don't pay for their gear.

I live in Upstate NY and there are 3 promoters who own a pair of CDJ2000s. and zero clubs own a pair.
I rent CDJs if I ever book a headliner.
Almost EVERY kid uses some type of controller with most using traktor s4/s2/x1 type stuff. lots of numark stuff as well.

Not many people are willing to shell out $6K for a cdj setup just to play 2 songs together.

Kinda wondering if it would be any good in my setup between 2 turntables. Not really hyped about the remix decks, but i would love to get the laptop out of my sight.
