A&H DB4 Teaser Shots
Ok so what is it. I’m still calling it a 4 channel mixer with midi functions to control SSL and Bridge. Not a “controller” or dedicated Itch controller. Thats my opinion. Wish Pioneer had some teasers out. I’ve read they have two being introduced this weekend a Traktor and an Itch controller. Any scoop out there??

i see the words ROLL…hmm another serato controller?
the comments on the scratchworx site are just about as good as anything I’ve seen on DJTT.
Sorry to repeat my self but
Thats first pic has to comfirm something geared towards Serato, my original guess was DB4 = Digital Bridge four channel, kinda wanna stick to that-ish.
Considering the DX is less than a year old, this must be something very very different, no jogs, analogue mixer as well as digital, something that can be used with Itch or SSL (Three phono inputs to match SL3 on the I/0 pic teaser)
Eye spy the word “session” on the third picture.
Hmmmm, session (session in) is normally a word found on battle mixers, bit of a wild card I know, but it’s nearly ten years ago Allan & Heath released the 02, then again those faders look a little to close together for a scratch mixer.
If it was to be used with Itch, it would have high resolution jogs I’m sure.
I’m not so sure… I think it’s something to control bridge because all serato softwares has a hardware ready and pre-maped to it, all but the bridge
Like an APC40 with buttons and led feedback (to control the ableton part of the bridge) merged with 4 Channel Mixer (to control the itch part of the bridge)
whats’s so exclusive about 3 tiny ambiguous thumbnails?
I think it’s A&H’s answer to the DJM2000 (and I think personally the Pioneer is a beast performance wise). And considering performance, tactile aspects, I really hope A&H lost their kind of old-gen black push-buttons and improved that side of their products.
BPM is going to be very interesting this year indeed. I’m really eager to see what Pioneer will launch on the controller market. Adding the NI’ S4, that would make some people really think about their gear in the soon to come future, myself included.
I’m pretty sure that’s a screen in the 3rd pic. That can only mean one thing. This item will be mad expensive!
I doubt it’s an Itch controller, they just put one out, right? The DX? Some kind of analog/digital mixer is my guess. Also guessing at a 2k price point.
My vote is for “session” as in Ableton’s session view, a general volume control for all clips running in Live.
First person to say “i told you so” on saturday gets a virtual slap on the head.
Theres been a million guess and a many were made weeks and weeks ago.
Do we want to list them here:
My guess (again) 4 channel hardware Mixer. Midi everything. For The Bridge, Serato/Ableton. Has a screen for watching pr0n… sorry i mean for firing clips.
Basically a Rane 68 specifically for the Bridge.
Street price of £2,000. 
NEXT:
Last pic seems like it could have a DJM2000 style screen. That for launching Ableton clips would be sweet, although Karlos’s price estimate is probably pretty close.
Agreed.
Now what’s your guess on Pioneer? Serious question though. Why no hype from Pioneer. The S4 got some good hype up, and the DB:4 is getting marketed pretty well with teaser shots. Why would a big company like Pio not be pushing/marketing their new products. Are they not that far in development and don’t want to present a product that’s not fully operational or is it just not worthy of hype?
Dunno mate. I only heard what everyone else did that there will be a Pio controller for Traktor and one for Ableton.
Theres no buzz going round NI about anything from Pioneer (not at pond life level anyway).
Pioneer have gone crazy with new products this year.
Ill be taking lots of pics and Rainer is shooting some video so ill try and demo all this stuff and post it up. Hopefully some demo vids of as much stuff as possible and anything that i can get in my over-size rucksack. Im a little guy that can run like the wind, bit like a Victorian street urchin thief hahaha
Now pioneer midi controllers would be a good thing as the midi phobes will think that midi is the new cd as pioneer makes them so all the better. More competition means more toys to play with and better prices all round, also might mean midid controllers as standard in clubs . 
I hear ya. Pioneer fan boys will be like heeyy…Pioneer are making controllers might as well give it a shot.
This is why I think Pioneer won’t make midicontrollers.
Why? Because their overpriced CDJs will be obsolete to the mass market. Pioneer people will start looking at midicontrollers - and they won’t choose the Pioneers just because they are in fact Pioneers. But they will start looking at the layout more and maybe alot of them would like the S4 or DB:4 more.
Brainpicking.
Is somebody going to set up a flickr feed or something to upload photos to? Maybe someone’s going to tweet photos? I need gear porn!!
Speaking of porn I had an assignment yesterday to shoot some firemen that were doing extrication training with the jaws of life and other such tools on cars that had been in wrecks and were totaled. As they were cutting up one of the cars they found a bunch of gay porn DVD’s in the trunk. Funny!
I was wondering where I’d left them 
Ill tweet some pics, ill also upload a shit load and i think Rainer is taking some video which he is gonna put on YouTube.
How do i Tweet pics from my iPhone Chris?
