Native Instruments hints at new Traktor controller. Xone:K2 Competitor?

[CryderSteez]

i know that, but he has two leds mapped somehow to one one deck, and they blink like : left beat right beat left beat right beat and when he backspins you can see it changes the speed of the blinking. So any idea how to mapp that ?

I think that's the phase meter.

What I love about this:
* 4x4 samples immediately accessible
* Multiple samples already preloaded (see the scrollbars at the side of each list of samples)
* Scrolling through the samples gives access to the next set of samples

NI is really giving us mature sample tools. It's like Ableton Live's Session View inside of Traktor. Love it!

I hope the workflow is good for coloring and organizing all these damples

Looks cool, but I was expecting a K2 competitor not an ableton type thing. Also ima go ahead and asume that todays video is going to kill all of the NI/BitWig assumptions.

seen this a few times... can you explain why this is not a k2 competitor?...

Bitwig, Ableton, and NI are independent companies, not sure why people are trying to speculate otherwise.

NI have made it clear over the last many years that, although they make VST's etc, they seem more interested in integrating their own products, not so much making a "bridge."

dreamers can dream i guess, but I would rather see NI move on what it seems it's doing with Traktor and Maschine, and Ableton to move they way they are, and the same for the wigs.

This is going to be a sweet update. And to think... Itch's update was to attach keyboard/hardware control to the SP-6, and fix rampant tag issues.

Wow this looks brilliant. Traktor is becoming more and more flexible, really cannot wait for the new version of traktor. I hope there is a good way to integrate the new sample decks with the s4.

[Karlos Santos]

Bitwig is not NI, move on.

[MrPopinjay]

Actually I think the Itch update was also pretty cool.
