S4 price cut... Something's coming
S4 price cut... Something's coming Posted on: 20.06.2013 by Hipolito Scionti Down to | |
| Gaynell Rydberg 21.06.2013 | That's the point of multiple decks. To add and subtract multiple sounds to create a new song.. |
| Sonja Roybal 21.06.2013 | If you need 6 decks to make music sound good, you're playing some boring ass tunes. |
| Leon Albornoz 21.06.2013 | Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, and many others use 4 decks in Traktor + Maschine + External effects, so in theory they are using 6 decks on their mixers (Xone:92) |

| Armanda Yankauskas 21.06.2013 | S4 used price will def drop to the s2 used price range seeing as the s2 will go extinct if the z1 becomes a sucess. S4 mkII would probably consist of standalone mixer functionality as many people feel that it was solely missing. Now as to it being launched alongside traktor 3? That's a good question that brings up a whole nother speculation, but more on that later. As towards what else I'd like to see besides standalone capabilities with the s4? Probably more remix deck functions as the original sample decks were for the s4 then they evolved. Umm maybe better build quality, but I doubt that would happen. And most def they'll add some new buttons and funtions on there including a flux mode switch and something for the "super effects". But only time will tell. My biggest thing... bigger jogs or rotating platers would be sick but would kill it cuz of weight and all that jazz... so not everyone can win. O well |
| Sonja Roybal 20.06.2013 | Damn. NI just cost me a couple hundred dollars. |
| Rochel Gleese 20.06.2013 | I hope they stick to the modular route, come out with Traktor 3, a Z4 mixer and platter controllers. I'll buy a Z4 and 4 platter controllers thanks |
| Judi Sissel 20.06.2013 | A visual command center or some type of hub for NI's current and/or soon to be released module "k"ontrollers. Preload mappings, library storage, w/ plug and play ability. To me, LED outputs and RGB buttons give the convenience of not having to look at the screen (current market) but also makes room for screen real estate, or the lack there of. Maybe Traktor DJ is a beta version? Computers are one side of the digital market that is essential and untouched by current manufactures... How's that for speculation!? |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 20.06.2013 | I reckon ipad integration RGB and Probably remix decks will be the big new improvements in the next iteration. I also reckon we could see individual "decks" to compliment the Z1/F1/X1 Traktor P1 anybody ? |
| Samuel Stamaria 20.06.2013 | I believe S4 mk2 that works with traktor DJ |

| Anibal Hoormann 20.06.2013 | Good thing. |
| Merlyn Birchfield 20.06.2013 | I believe that a combined Kontrol S4 + Z2 (4?) concept makes the most sense. Controllers like the newer Pioneer ones are starting to operate fully standalone. NI would be smart to take note of it. A "Z4 with transport controls and jogwheels" would make a heck of a lot of sense to me. Kind of an updated Xone:4D geared towards Traktor. |

| Era Roka 20.06.2013 | hmmm.... i want motorized faders and knobs |
| Hipolito Scionti 21.06.2013 | Stand alone platter controllers is sort of all im interested in... need something i can use my mixer with but also friends can come round and just jam on.... |
| Lashawn Maycock 21.06.2013 | Something's afoot, and it ain't 12" All speculation, likely to be a 4 ch controller/mixer/all in one job, not really a surprise I suppose. Also guess Traktor Pro 3 along side it. I certainly won't be in a rush to spend |
| Lillia Datson 21.06.2013 | I can sell the S4 and put it towards a decent mixer pretty soon then! |
| Era Roka 21.06.2013 | Ahw really expected a leak vid, well i'm curious, certainly gonna buy the MKII if it comes out. |

| Gaynell Rydberg 20.06.2013 | If the new price of the Traktor S2 doesn't drop either then I wouldn't expect the S4 to drop very much either. People aren't going to sell the S4 for less than the value of an S2. The S2 consistently sells for ~300, and I would expect the S4 to sit at 500-550. |
| Marcelina Hanaway 20.06.2013 | Standalone AND software controller? |

| Kristofer Krauel 20.06.2013 | Interesting! Reducing their pricing on gear is normally a sure fire give away that something else in that 'line' is on its way. Although saying that I can't remember there being an X1 mk1 price drop?? Suppose that may still happen though given that the mk2 is only potentially a leak and not an official announcement. I honestly don't expect an s4 mk2 though. But then an all-in-one that integrates Remix Decks would actually be a radically different looking all-in-one. |
| Carlee Pickard 20.06.2013 | Looks like it! State side GuitarCenter's website has not updated the price, but Pro Audio Star has reduced it's price to $599. I'm interested to see what the used market price of the S4 drops to. Definitely a great time to buy an S4 . |
| Katelyn Hoctor 20.06.2013 | NI announced the Z1 and theres been leaked pics of X1 mk2 |
