SO MUCH WANT

I know

[Kodiak]

That does look cool.

[GREMM1S]

Another extra model yaaaay.

[SolDios]

The scale of the thing is huge! Pretty much as big as a 400's setup!

[yizzle]

quite like the layout of it, i dont use serato so.. yeah..

the front panel's switches looks a little small and fidgety. specially if playing in the dark.

website does not really say much about inputs like if rca, trs, xlr etc. but yeah.

nice all the same.

pioneer has yet again another product..

[Skank]

aesthetically it appears the same as the traktor s7, this might push NI to release a new controller

[ThatPartyGuy]

i want to molest it

[Skank]

i think it is a direct swipe at the novation/ traktor line of controllers, almost all the features on the unit are already available with traktor, seratos playing catch up

[GREMM1S]

That's right it's the N7 it looks like, i definitely think it's trying to play catch up controller wise.

I still feel serato should differentiate itself and it's the best timecode option, rather than go head to head in a controller war.

It does look pretty cool though will have a play when i look at the 2000NXS

another week, another new pio controller

[Skank]

my bad i was talking bout the S4

[GREMM1S]

I say it all the time but they are over doing the models completely now, dont get it.

[yizzle]

it seems the 8 pads are prob more towards traktor's new sample system that uses the F1.

or at least better used for that than in serato me thinks.

They are def looking at the presspress DJs more than turntablists.

Position and size of jog wheels will make scratching very tricky.

So is more like the Traktor S4/Denon mc6000 than the NS7/NS6 family.

Serato software losing timecode is a new step for them for sure tho.

Majority of controllers and really cdjs arent overly scratch friendly, denon hae been about the only brand to provide decent scratching on cd players/controllers.

I was selling DJ gear when they first released the CDJ1000MKII and it was the first one our team considered reasonably able to claim they had achieved "vinyl emulation."

In truth nothing is close to vinyl but nothing skips like vinyl either, so all manufacturers and DJs have been looking for something to satisfy button pressing and platter manipulation forever. Which is why I think it such a shame they put so many buttons under the platters and thus in the way if you want to juggle.

Denon have done ok but IMHO the best controllers for scratching are still NS7 and NS6.

[Kodiak]

Surely this isn't "another" model but an update/replacement of the DDJ-S1? If I was in the market right now I would definitely buy this over my S4.

^agreed, I dont think this is as much about the new controller as it is about Serato using their flagship software without timecode for the first time.

Up until now they only used Itch on controllers.

I use Itch on a NS6 and will soon get free upgrade to Serato DJ.

Lookin fwd to it too.

Same

Going to be sick!

[overit]

I didnt know there were any other Itch users since Gandy sold his NS6

what do you use Sol? what version of Itch and have you tried the MITCH software yet?

(see: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11506)

[SolDios]

2.2

I brought gandy's ns6

I just use it standard as it's so reliable.

[overit]

ah, seen.

I'll keep my eyes open for threads about the new serato DJ from you then.

Nice piece of kit for mobile isn't it?

[BeatLeSS]

This looks impressive. They've finally made a controller that looks like it will compete with the other brands in the controller market. It has enough features to make it versatile for almost any situation and looks like those pads can double/triple back for added creativity.

Be interesting to see if this can be mapped easily to other software/DAW's.
