Wacom, the tablet and touchscreen company that's made a name for itself in graphic design circles, is about to enter the discotheque.

The entry is called Nextbeat, a music controller that lets prosumer DJs mix and manipulate their beats with a variety of touchscreen controls and a portable "pod" that docks with the main unit. In theory, it could allow DJs to leave the booth and enter the dance floor maelstrom, if they so choose.

The Nextbeat is slated for release in Europe (surprise) and Japan this summer. No pricing info was available, nor was there any mention of this portable beat box making an appearance Stateside. It will be on display, however, from March 24-28 in Miami Beach at the Winter Music Conference. Pacifier and glow sticks are not included [technabob]

could have a few more buttons still,
but in general a very nice approach imo.
the outer part of the jogwheel seems to be riddon controllers for pitch, CF and others..

beeing from wacom suggests good quality at least, and it should be quite thought-out.

The button on the upper right hand corner looks like it came out of a CDJ?

As Giz said, it seems like a "pacemaker pro". I couldn't find a reason to remove the main part personally. I guess so I can dance front stage as I DJ.
