Pioneer new controller!

[hesitant]

Just seen the video on facebook as well. Doesn't look up to much. If anyone likes flashing lights your onto a winner with this one

NI would of had a clause with Pioneer stating they would not be able to release a controller which integrates TP2 features such as sample decks etc for about a year as they have the S4. A year nearly past since the release of S4 and out comes this new one from Pioneer which does have buttons from sample decks etc.

I recon it will be launched at BPM in October.

Screenshots from aboutdj,

that looks like crap.

Why exactly do these photos make me think of it as a total toy?

Also the buttons seem very small..

[K.T.I.T.]

I don't think it's that bad.

From looking at that dark picture and the video I can guess:
+ Might not contain a mixer. I don't want to carry around one when there are mixers at clubs.
+ CDJ-style jog wheels
+ Decent amount of buttons and rotaries
+ Looks nice.

- Seems to be larger than a VCI-100 (thick and wide!).
- Looks plastic-ish!

facepalm* this could have been such a good controller if only it didn't look like a toy.
and please pioneer i would heavly consider changing those platters they look like shit

the only way i might consider getting it would be if the price dropped a couple hundred $$$ and if you could disattach those ugly ass legs on the bottom

Looks like it's being made for Traktor, as well. Samples, hot cues, and 3-effect chains, anyone?
