I dont have an S4 but it looks very nice, the only thing i dont really want to do with it though is mix internally, I’d love to use a external mixer like a xone 42 with it.
So how about they cut off the mixer section+soundcard and release the jog wheel section as a new controller like the X1? you could maybe even drop the EFX section and instead add another row of buttons for 8 hotcues. Or make it slightly wider and make it a 100mm pitch fader instead of the 60mm one.
the only problem i see is that without an X1 you cant really browse and the loop recorder section would have to be somewhere as well i guess. Should be alot cheaper as well as they could release it with a LE version and no soundcard makes it cheaper as well.
Am I the only one who would buy something like that?
I was just thinking about something along these lines yesterday. I think it’s possible they might make something like an X1 with the jogs I don’t think it would ever come without an FX section. That’s a pretty important part of Traktor.
Numark first made the NS7, then cut it in half for the V7. It seems inevitable that NI would do the same thing. I would love to buy an S2 like described by Ashigari.
I’ve had my eye on the Denon DN-SC2000, the features are similar. I don’t like the push knob FX on/off, but I haven’t tried one in person.
Its gonna be interesting at NAMM this year… (fingers crossed)
yeah the denon is basically what I’m looking at atm as it’s more or less what i want/need. but i simply dont like the looks and the push knobs, they dont feel tactile (i think that’s the word i’m looking for) enough
