Carl Cox working with NI on new product?

[frankle]

So one of my mates was looking through the internets and came across this interview with Carl Cox ...

http://www.inthemix.com.au/features/...arl_Cox?page=2

The thing that stood out was:

How much do you keep up with the developments in new technology, like new models of CDJs? Are those advances something that interest you?
Yeah, always. I’m actually working on something with Native Instruments at the moment, having a new mixer incorporated on Traktor, on which I play quite a lot. So I’m always up for what the future holds. I don’t think half the times it’s relevant, because people just want you to play on the ones and twos, but if you can create something unique within the element of what you do, I think that’s quite fun. And if you’re having fun with what you’re creating, that will show, and I think people need to have the tools to enable them to be creative.

So is he talking about the S8 or might this be the Z4 that so many people have asked for?

[tekki]

Well... It could be the Z4.

[Karlos Santos]

It's the Z0.

It has no channels and 1 crossfader.
It has 16 outputs but no inputs.
It has one big button that is mapped to 'STOP' and the mapping is default and not editable.
It has 4 Hi-Def LCD screens that only show Paris Hiltons face.
4 ethernet ports - 2 serial ports - 2 ports for Sega MegaDrive controllers.

Comes with new software: TRAKTOR BRO (only plays Trap).

Available in December with every Happy Meal at McDonalds.

That's very un-Karlos of you Karlos.

Entertaining though...might have to get a Happy Meal just to see what all the hype's about...

[Karlos Santos]

That's very un-Karlos of you Karlos.

Mmm, I thought it was typical of my usual goofing. I guess you mean cus it's NI related - which is fair enough but it's not a leak, it's just a good speculation story. I'm happy to have fun with these things. It's leaks that I cannot stomach and that's because of my own sense of fair play and not for anything more sinister than that.

Carl Cox isn't gonna leak/speak about something he shouldn't. I have no idea what he's talking about, could be the S8.

[tekki]

Maybe it's smaller cousin?

[JaF]

Saw that video of him playing with the ios version and it looked like he had picked it up for the first time.

[space monkey]

Maybe he got an incentive to create vague references for internet buzz. :P

[Ollin]

I'm pretty sure they are busting out a Z4, since he likes to mix with 4 decks and I haven't really seen him use a F1, I'm pretty certain they are working on a 4 channel standalone mixer :O.
