Pioneer DDJ-SP1?

[geminimech]

I know, why don't they just cut off the extra fat.

Because they would cannabalize CDJ-2000 sales. Pioneer busts their ass at product differentiation ('essential' features at different price points) to make sure sales of one unit don't eat into another.

Yes a new controller for Serato Dj... look the slate to the end of this video...

Wow, you don't know how close you were! Although it looks like it's the mixer/effects & pads part that is chopped out. http://serato.com/dj/dvs#md=dvs-release-calendar

It will be something like a Denon DH NC 1000 Controller, so you can brows through your serato library, you Cue Points etc. while playing with timecode vinyl or cdj's.

Youll see a picture in this video:

sooo....probably a Serato DJ single platter controller (like PL-1 and SC2000) based on the DDJ-SX (chop of the mixer section and voila!). Hope it will come with a Traktor mapping (official)

well, so close yet so far

Well that's an interesting development, especially as it has a Traktor mapping. Wonder if it'll rival the X1MK2?

The Beats encoder immediately makes it less suitable for Traktor than something with 4 regular pots.

Agreed. Only workaround is to assign the encoder to dry/wet but it's not the best solution.
