Looks like a rival for the denon DN-MC6000 and the S4.
Also on the same site something about the new Numark NS6.
All these new toys coming out… I think i’ll just stick to my 2 Kontrol X1’s. For some reason the completeness these products are aiming for is really not what I’m looking for, since I want some modularity which makes it more versatile.
That looks exciting
They’re really happy about not going anywhere with cue buttons, though.
I can agree with you all the way there.
I’ve been looking into a midi mixer to go along with my arduino deck thing I posted a few days ago.
I have no intention of building it at present, but I think a midi based mixer (possibly with a soundcard), as a stand alone solution looks more and more like a viable solution.
that’s huge. will feel bad if/when it dominates everything else that has been producing controllers for the last few years though.. suppose if it’s quality then it’s just good competition.
perhaps it’ll be released with an updated rekordbox software with more functions
lol ive been wondering how long it would take pioneer to get on the controller bandwagon. if theyre the same jogs as the 400 (which they kinda look like), i think id quite like that controller. Large pitch faders are a HUGE plus, and 2 FX banks, plus it looks like they have incorporated the “deedle drop” function of the 2000’s on it… pioneer seem to have nailed it with this one. hopefully when this is released people will take whole “controllerist” thing a little more seriously. Im kinda sick of having to prove myself to clubs on their gear before being allowed to bring my own.
if its true what you say about the VU leds, i hope they incorporate it into the traktor edition. It would be nice to have VU’s on the controller, that way the ONLY time i have to look at my screen is for track selection.
quite a nice looking controller… hopefully its not ridiculously overpriced like the rest of pioneers gear… who am i kidding… its probably gonna be at least 1500
Would be awesome to see clubs start installing 4-channel controllers as a standard, especially since i doubt you’d ever find space in the average booth for one of these/s4/mc6000.
Yeah I saw that picture, you’re right looks pretty real.
I was expecting much more from Pioneer. They just copied the other 4 channel all in controllers.
That grey is really ugly.
Let’s hope it’s a prototype, and that the final version as bigger cue buttons, vu meters, and filters…
The good thing though : the classic pioneer cue buttons, and the pitch
However it looks much bigger than an S4. (like the numark NS6). getting a S4 to a club is already hard, how will you manage to take this out ?
maybe it targets mobile and bedroom DJs more than club DJs…
