NI controller?

Any of you guys know the controllers Richie is using in this video? I see Traktor SP, Maschine, Xone:92 and som unidentified controllers with big NI stickers on them!

Oh yeah, NI just confirmed on FB that they are upcomming new NI controllers. What a weird way to introduce them. Looks like a mstake to me…

3

well i think they are talking about maschine here and better integration .. they have hinted at a powerful sampling solution in one of the on track sessions .. i assume that what they were talking about back then was machine<->traktor integration .. seems like its coming sooner than expected ..

Ohh yeah. NI just confirmed on FB a new upcomming NI controller! What a weird way to reveal it. Looks like a mistake to me…

A dedicated Traktor controller from NI? Hot damn!

lsmith, have you even watched the video? He’s rocking the Maschine on a different macbook, and at 0:30 you can clearly see 2 new NI-branded controllers.

NI calls it an “Upcoming new Traktor controller”. So I dont thing they are “just” talkin about the Maschine integration into Traktor. This is a new big hardware release

indeed .. guess i let myself get fooled too much by the name of the movie on youtube ..
looks like it has plenty of buttons to drive those 8 cue points per deck.

8

Yeah, looks like lots of buttons…but why no jog wheel?

9

Because it is aimed at Traktor Scratch Pro, I guess

Probably designed for those people that pre-grid and pre drop cue and loop points in their songs. I have been/still am thinking about going to a couple of pad controllers and doing that. If everything is pre set up, you dont need jog wheels, just buttons set up to allow you to jump between cue points.

This answer and the previous (Sratch) make perfect sense. I am still a newbie, so not too sure what all you are saying , though I understand there’s what - 8 possible cue points/loops able to be pre-determined per song? I assume wit hthe right controller and mapping you can access any of them anyime the track is loaded? Not sure on the pre-grid, but I have a book on order that should explain it all!

I was hoping that all the talk of A&H’s new controller being for Itch was rubbish but I think this news has just made that a whole lot more likely especially as Hawtin has ditched his 1Ds in favour of the NI controllers.

Boooooo!!! :disappointed:

Richie Hawtin is the only DJ in the world.

Jogwheels? Where we’re going, we don’t need jogwheels.

Christopher Lloyd is the only DJ in the world (he djs with a flux capacitor)

Yes 8 of each. So you just jump back and forth at will. As far as beat gridding, its setting up your track to mark the 1 beats and set the proper bpm. with a good beat grid you can basically sync any 2 tracks and not have to worry about drift or manual beatmatching. This frees you to get creative on jumping between the cue points, loops, and effects.

LOL, I love that!

18

…meh

19

maybe they will bring out seperate units with jog wheels ?

Ooh i love a good gossip.

It is indeed a controller from NI. The Video was released to spark such a debate.
Release Date tbc.
Price tbc.

NDAs prevent any more info sorry.

What would you like it to do ?
Nearest to the mark gets no prize but the smug satisfaction when its announced of saying “I told you so” teehee
