Wonder if they will do a 4 deck version. Seems strange to have 4 channels but only 2 sets of faders and eq's

Just when I bought my S2 (which I pretty much did for the mixing part)... Ah well, it's probably a better deal anyway.

Hmm have 4 channels but only 2 deck control seems messy. I'd hate the idea of a shift layer that turns the existing faders into deck c/d faders and eqs. Just not intuitive control

I'd be surprised if this retails for over $600. Let's hope that this new version of Traktor will include map-able Remix Decks! Little confused about what the RGB buttons on the sides are for? FX units on? Deck Focus?

You are right, it doesn't make sense for NI to do something like that, but it hasn't stopped them before LOL.
Right, I was honestly expecting them to release something gimmicky, but this is looking like exactly what I need. As long as it's cheaper than the DJMT1.... Holding out hope for this one.

Crosses fingers for post fader fx in the new update !!

And yes if you watch the video closely, or go to digitaldjtips, you can see it has gain, 3 band eq, and dedicated filter knob!

Plus you can tell the master vol and cue vol are in the middle, and the knobs on both sides (extremes) are mirrored, maybe for fx control.

edit : Also i hope digitaldjtips's guess about the price is wrong, i really hope it doesnt go above 700 euros...

Integrated USB Hub
Any other In's

Guess we'll have to wait.

Is that a four band EQ, or did they just remember to include a dedicated filter knob this time?

Cause of new S4? Maybe...

Laser FX?
Bass-o-matic FX?

New Traktor coming soon?

Looks like they tweaked the interface a bit too and added some extra fx. Traktor text logo got a facelift too.

Update on the way, hopefully it will open MIDI for the remix decks as promised.

No gain knobs, it had better be mixer height as well. Again why the tease??

It looks like the fx have changed as well... Maybe they're customizable. Also that performance was a sonic mess.

I like it. Basically an NI rane 62 with the top half of an X1 glued in.

F1's have their own volume controls.
I believe it is to use alongside other NI gear.

hopefully a jogless traktor all-in-one controller

I like this game of guessing, so here's my take :

- IF (and that is a big if) it has a sound card inside, then it probably is also stand alone
- IF it has an audio interface it will be the equivalent to the Audio 6.
- If they want to have it priced lower than an S2, it has no sound card.

- It's a two channel (midi) mixer, that is the least hard to guess. The cross fader is in the middle, and you only see one line fader.
- It has at least 3 encoders (loop x2 + browse), but no more than 5 (loop x2 + browse + another 2).
- It probably is taller than the rest of the line of controllers (i hope so)
- If it's not taller, that means there is no gain knob, so :
- If there is no gain knob, it won't be a stand alone mixer, only midi.
- There is no Fx controls aside the fx assign, even then i wouldn't hold my breath (after all that why the X1 exists, for you to buy them, wink wink).

- It will use NI proprietary hid.
- That means a new update is coming (2.5.2).
- The colored buttons we can see mean that in the upcoming update we will be able to assign color to cue points.
- They will probably be able to control the first row of a remix deck (maybe, but this is like for the no fx onboard, the F1 exist for that purpose, so i'm really not sure).


- If it's just a midi controller, 250/300 eur.
- If it also has a sound card, 350 eur.
- If it's also a stand alone mixer, 400 and up depending on the features relatives to the stand alone mixer (removable faders add to costs, so do connexions, psu, etc...)

I personally hope that it's "only" a midi mixer, that you can replace the cross fader, that it has fx assign, that it has a gain knob AND a filter knob, and that it's around 300 euros .

Im putting my money on a scaled down HID mixer ala s4/s2 to go with the x1 & f1 like what everyone else is saying. No timecode (which would be unfortunate)

Looks Way to big to be a scratch mixer I would like.

Aux channels with no eq or faders are a waate
Cole Maroto

purple meters! why am i a sucker for that?
Rochel Gleese

Here's my punt:

3 Channels out
2 x Turntables/CDs
2 channels of EQ faders
1 Channel out for Remix Decks (2 Channels routed to the same output) but there wont be EQs for this channel as it's purely for the remix decks
Cross fader (maybe removable)
Headphone out
Mains out
2 x 4 encoders for FX
Filter and key encoders
New LEDs for EQ display
Comes in White and Black
Comes with Control Vinyl (maybe not)
Magnetic Faceplates for customised faceplates

I honestly don't believe they can hack it in the battle mixer world with their build quality....I would much rather just buy a vestax or rane 2 channel and an x1 for midi integration.

Anybody that gigs out alot can attest that an s4 is not a rane mixer and I hope they plan accordingly if they build a midi/analogue 2 channel

just bought the djm 900. wouldnt switch to a traktor mixer so i really hope its something else equally as shiny and new.
Lisa Lochotzki

or just.. 2 versions... just teasing the 2 ch version for their own fun
Rolanda Clodfelder
11.09.2012
4 mini line faders stacked 2x2 is my guess, in keeping with the Traktor mixer onscreen layout.
Leeanna Ayla

From what I hear tomorrow is just another teaser, but they give a lot more info than the normal tease..
