I bet this is all over the NI website, but when are they going to make something like the X1, but newer and different? Like am I the only one who thinks that both their software and hardware is amazing, and that it would only get them more acclaim if they developed a new controller (not like the S4).
if you were looking for a new NI controller, what would you want in it?
Not this year i guess. think they announced all their new stuff already (soundcards, t2, maschine 1.6). I think it will be quite a busy year for them.
There is already a thread here suggesting companions rather than replacments for the X1 (think of faderfox gear)
The only thing that comes into my mind know is a version with endless encoders with led feedback (not clicky like the browse and loop ones).
that would be cool! i was thinking maybe like a CDJ almost except just a usb media controller, but with the same build quality and affordability as all NI products.
Yeah that monome arc looks amazing. I don’t know how the 4-knob version will be laid out but if it is in a straight line (rather than a square) it would be the perfect effects box for Traktor – the knobs double as push buttons so there you go. But damn that would be an expensive box of knobs…
haha well since djtt reviewed the reloop contour people are gonna go crazy buying it…but im not gonna lie, it looks pretty legit. Haha the arcs would be amazing as hell
Yeah, I usually use whats already set up, and just grab two line inputs on the mixer for my two traktor decks.
I do have a nifty little mixer mapping for my X1 that I use sometimes with the denons on either side of the X1… Like a controllerists 2 channel battle setup.
I run TSP so I can run time-code as well… I like having options.
