allows you to control pitch, scratching, and transport functions of the S4 via analog turntables or CDJs

upgrade kit includes TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 software plus 2 timecode vinyls / 2 CDs

PRICE: $139 /129 €. Available April 1, 2011.
Note: If you own both the S4 AND a digital vinyl system from NI (TRAKTOR SCRATCH, TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO / TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO), you will receive a free SCRATCH UPGRADE.

i’m very happy about the bold part

Good to know it comes with the timcode vinyls was hoping that, thanks for posting this

Excellent news. Thanks!

That’s pretty much exactly how I guessed it was going to play out.

so, i own a s4…what’s to stop me from getting scratch duo for a low low price and THEN getting a free upgrade versus spending 150 bucks?

nothing really, supposing someone will sell it without the audio4

edit: or win this bid ending in 18hs and get a backup audio 4 Pardon Our Interruption...

I would be careful with getting Duo, It’ll be watered down in version 2 as well and you may end up paying more in the end. If I was going to do something like that it would be find a TSP for what I’m guessing will be $300-$350 once the new software is released. Then if you take the $140 out you would have paid for the S4 upgrade to TSP2 your only spending $160-$210 for a perfectly good Audio 8 as a backup/extra soundcard.

so…with both those answers being said, is it just best to pay the 140 bucks?
