Saw this indepth review posted:

Seems like quite a package for Itch users .. it sort of also works with Traktor according to the reviewer.
Apparently DJ Quartz has the platters working in Traktor. Great news for anyone looking to buy one.
Hopefully we can see Denon controllers (DN-S3700) working in the near future as well.

So only the platters are working with Traktor?What about all of the features?
I got to mess around with an NS7 for a bit this week, and I would have to say, what features? I'm very confused at why this gear was even released. Really expensive, super proprietary, huge footprint, and lacking a lot of features that you could even get out of a few nano controls. It is not a good design IMO.

I'm not sure how I feel about this unit. It seems to fill in a gap between controllerism and DVS/Vinyl of which I'm not sure is there. It's still smaller than 2 x 1200 and a controller, but it's so big, clunky and proprietary. I'm not a fan of proprietary, actually, that might have something to do with it... However, the guy in the review seems to be pretty positive about it.
The reviewer ar Skratchworx said that he could get the controlls to work, but not the platters. Also, no FX are mentioned, kind of weird, no?
It looks legit, for a large portion of "djs" looking good and having a good time are more important than performance. Not to say that these aren't important, certainly they are crucial, but for these djs, performance is 2nd and they aren't pushing the envelope on anything. You can get the same performance out of a vci-100, then take the money and buy a nanopad and a nanokontrol and you are pretty set, but the spinning platters look and feel awesome, I won't lie I would love to have one.
