Native Instruments Kontrol X2 & S2 in Q4'11?

Native Instruments Kontrol X2 & S2 in Q4’11?

there’s the deal with the X1 + TP2. Also the S4 free upgrade to TSP2.

we also remember fullenglishpint mentioning the S2 in his early TWITCH review.

What do you think guys - NI Kontrol X2 & NI Kontrol S2 in quarter 4 '2011 ?

Let the speculations begin! :smiley:

I’d say that we should expect disclosure by the end of August or maybe early September, with demo units on display at the BPM show.

I say yes.

I heard from a little birdie

“wait till you hear whats coming in the fall”

not sure if that means - in the fall we will hear something. If it’s like last year it will be before Winter NAMM to steal some thunder from the competitors.

It would be interesting, definitely worth going to BPM for

Hopefully an s4, w/o jogs, and a mixer we can use outside a laptops use :3

If it happens hopefully it’s something like an X1 with a jogwheel.

Or they hand out 10,000 free copies of traktor scratch pro 2. :smiley:

Craze seemed to think it was the future of DJ’ing. I guarantee that was a controlled leak via twitter. My money is on new X1 and a pretty big update to Traktor.

+1

Maybe Some hybrid between the X1 and a deck of the S4. If they do release a mixer only controller, my guess is it should be scratch certified to keep up with the s4 and keep dvs people happy.

I wouldn’t be that surprised to see a straight up analog mixer with full midi built in house.

I think they tested itch 2.0 and saw a massive threat

Major upgrade … For free !

I tested itch myself and was really impressed

I could see a mixer style midi controller with a 10x10 soundcard, loop recorder section and effects section, possibly sample deck control

Just got an email from NI saying there bundling x1 with a free copy of TP2 so my money is on a replacement for the x1 as it looks like there trying to get rid of stock.
Possibly something more sample deck orientated?

I hope that its a controller that is built like a rock, doesn’t mess with jogs but expects ppl to add turntables or cdjs

Because that is what I am looking for, smaller controller but one that Im not nervous about bringing out. It can serve as a mixer with transport controls.

Also a mixer that does not need a laptop and can be standalone.

I don’t think they think like that.

idk if NI is capable of that.
not much experience in the analog world

they need to step up their quality in the midi world in order for people to consider an analog mixer from them.. I guess they could hype it like the S4.
BUT.. if they drop a 4 channel analog mixer you would have to imagine it being more expensive than the S4 (if not I really fear for its quality)
BUT in that price range you have Xone 42s, x1600s, Ecler NUO 4s, used pioneers.

The only reason NI stands a chance is because they can afford to give away TSP2 free with their gear.. w/o that they are out of the picture

So basically a NI branded Xone 1D?

It should be something pretty good considering any time NI gives out big offers like this, it means something special is coming out soon. Now we wait for another cryptic video and even more speculation.

something like an x1 wth some faders would be nice.. that and like 600 more buttons 50 more knobs and a pitch wheel and and and…

+1 i want this!!

LOL…we all think the same. I WANT MORE!!! Lolz

If i’d tell what i know i’ have to kill you afterwards :wink:

Stop the rumour train… I want to get off
