question about the s4 mk2
question about the s4 mk2 Posted on: 04.11.2013 by Sammie Dischner okay i have the original s4 right now..does anyone reccomend upgrading to the s4 mk2? i use timecode vinyl.. will i need to upgrade the scratch pro also with this s4 mk2, or will my orginal s4 timecode upgrade work? secondly, is it really worth it? not much more bells and whistles than my normal s4 also, i've heard that there is a NEW mixer/s4 style controller coming out from NI around christmas.. maybe just wait till then? anyone have an old s4 and switch to the new one? what are your thoughts? | |

Based on what we have seen so far with Maschine Studio; we can only speculate and hope that NI has plans for something new in 2014. Perhaps a software/hardware combo when Traktor 3.0 is released? |

| Georgia Caroon 05.11.2013 | So if I am considering getting a controller, should I just go MK2? |

The new features are too minimal, and I'm iPad-less, so...there's no reason to drop 8 bills on something with colored pads/buttons. If anything, I'm probably looking to go a more modular route with my next purchase. |
| Stefanie Aldaco 04.11.2013 | Kontrol X1 Mk1 or Mk2? Just the same question^^ If your fine with your S4, stay with it. If you want those "superb" features of the Mk2, go for it In my opinion it isn't worth it, still pretty the same controller. Try to check out the Mk2 in a local musicstore, or watch/read some reviews of the mk2. i believe you won't need to buy a new upgrade, because its still the same software, but im not absolutly sure |
