Novation Twitch or Traktor S4
Which one would you buy if you can afford to buy either one. I’m leaning toward the Twitch because I’m not a big fan of jogwheels.
Your thoughts??
Depends how much you will want to use that slicer…but if thats all your about on the controller then I would go for an ableton setup.
I dont know what the exclusive software is like for that contoller…ppl have said it has alot of things that dont come standard with the itch software.
Just realize that the twitch is about 2/3 the size of the s4 so you don’t have a ton of real estate to work with, finally, don’t know how dependable those ribbon strips are yet. Time will tell
i think its too early for anyone to be making any judgements about how good the twitch controller is, its not even released yet.
like jog wheels - s4
no like jog wheels - twitch
The ribbon strip are exactly what I was concern about.
I have an S4 and love it… But the Twitch looks really cool to me because of the size, the slicer thing and the way the eight sample pads per deck look.
Exactly what he said. The twitch looks great, only reason for me not to pick one up would be because I need jog wheels.
Since you stated you didn’t want jog wheels, Twitch it is for sure. It’s also nearly half the price of the S4.
Side Note:
Also one last thing, i’d try them both out at the store as soon as the Twitch is released. If it is just like the video shows it is, and doesn’t have many short comings then i’d say Twitch.
Assuming money wasn’t an issue and I was limited to those choices, I’d get the S4 without hesitating.
The S4 has tiny (useless) jog wheels, so I’m not sure how that’s too relevant. To me the difference is the software, and price. I really want a Twitch, have no interest in an S4, there’s my vote.
They may be useless for scratching (debatable from what ive seen) but they are reliable and proven compared to touch strips
There’s completely useless to people who don’t want jog wheels. However if you do want jog wheels then they’re great.
My thoughts? Chalk and cheese
At some point there’s gonna be a badass traktor mapping for the twitch, whether DJTT make one or not. I’m really looking forward to gettting my hands on one!
Can we start talking about ideas so someone can read them and start to work on those ideas to make a badass mapping for the twitch.
I think the big factor here is the price, size and lack of jog wheels.
The interface looks a lot like an interface that i use with the ipad and touchosc.
twitch purely for size. S4 way too big!
+1
S4 too big, seen the DDJ-T1? 
Just remember for the twitch you need to buy the Traktor software.
Not if you use it with Itch 
I’ve never been that impressed with itch feature wise compared to traktor, until I saw this with itch 2. It’s not going to make me switch permanently or anything, but it’s enough for me to see the itch compatibility of the twitch as a real asset rather than irrelevant.
