The NI Traktor X1 MK2 Thread |
Lang Abriel
17.06.2013 | If you look at the history of NI and the predictions of this community
....usually the obvious product predictions on this community
are released by NI.
That being said, most ppl on here believe that NI will release a modular platter (although many would debate on the form/function).
So my money is on NI releasing a platter controller sooner than later. |

Let me clarify. I also use layers - On my X1, hotcues, and F1, deck controls (midi side).
If Ross was referring to the lack of silk screened labels and why there aren't any "extra" markings on the alleged mockup/prototype/release model, it's because: 1) you're gonna change it anyway 2) you're not going to use it.
This way they can avoid having to send out face-plates. |

16.06.2013 | It's a good sign that this thread has gone off the boil. Perhaps people are actually using the gear that they've got rather than lusting after the later bit of kit..,
Saying that, I still don't have a mixer at the moment... |

Z4 would be pretty great. I would probably get rid of my S4 get a Z4 and a Z1 for small gigs. |

I would also like to point out how teaser trailer-esk the Z1 video was. Seems like they are really trying to create a new family of modular controllers. Maybe a platter?

. The only "hype" is over here on DJ Tech Tools in this thread. This was simply a mistake. They would get more hype by officially releasing teaser photos, videos, etc.

Adding remix decks (ableton style launch clips) to a DVS was a new idea, and is probably still giving them an advantage over serato becuz serato was not aware of the update until it was released...releasing an updated controller is not that new of an idea and they would rather have hype than keeping it from their competition.

I'll wait and check the reviews/vids when they 'released' it. |

Yes, because NI really need some free hype and advertising, they were really struggling to get their previous products known!
I know what you mean, but I see NI a bit like Apple, they will not be happy that the product was leaked. |

Is this thread going to suffer the same fate? How much pull do NI have around the traps?
nope. |

I bet you 1000 internet points its real.
oh i bet NI has gone completely insane on them, probably suiting up their lawyers and everything. i bet there was a couple contracts violated with this leak and pssl putting it up. i agree with you 100%, if you looked at that product write up and product write ups on the NI website, they had identical formats, thus leading to the conclusion that it is real |

because its a leaked picture, probably not the final product, it is however posted on a legit website, so the item itself is legit, just the picture might not be the "final product", if that makes any sense. |

14.06.2013 | Looks nice...not sure if I'd trade my X1 Mk1 for it though. I do share the sentiment about the missing tempo and beatjump buttons. Touchstrip for nudging on the other hand sounds awesome as well (nudging with pitch bend buttons sucks big time!!). |

It's still not clear whether the Z1/X1mk2 will work via a hub + the CCK. Unless this has been ruled out already..?
Given that the S4 can run off bus power it seems very unlikely that the new controllers will require a power supply for computer use. |
