Its a good design but these things are just so overpriced…for midi only it doesn’t make sense to me to pay that much. x1 and mixer still seems like a better option, idk.
Looks like a good replacement for my two x1’s, but knowing these guys it will probably cost you the same as about eight Kontrol x1’s. I am honestly curious how these guys are still around. The 4midiloop looks like an awesome controller but you cant get one for less then $1500, who would pay that kind of money for just a controller? The s4 was only $1000 when it came out and it included software and sound card. I just don’t understand, these guys make such cool stuff, stuff i would love to use, but everything they make is so outrageously expensive. It makes me frustrated.
I’m pretty sure the 4midiloop controllers use better components and a running ,uch lower volumes hence the prices, plus if you add a S4 plus 2 x1s you are starting to get the same price and functionality as the 4midiloop.
i love faderfox, but stopped using them because they are so cramped. But, saying that it’s rock solid and has never once let me down.
I’ve used the midi4loop and loved it and hated it at the same time. The price was always a problem, there’s just so much stuff better at the job than these, specifically now that software manufactures are adding propriety code to their systems.
The main problem with this unit is it WILL NOT control the REMIX decks, check their own website forum they stated it there. NI have not provided half the commands needed and I doubt they ever will, just in the same ways as you simply can’t control the loop indicators on the S2/S4 via MIDI.
