As far as I know, Karlos is a NI forum mod, co-author of Traktor bible, and one of the beta testers of the S4. The amount of work he does for NI, makes it a very good choice for them to be friendly, and give him one a little early.

Also, they know that, if he finds bugs, he has a direct line to NI, so they might be able to polish the firmware before shipping the things. (Typing this makes me wonder if the firmware is user updatable

)

Another thing is that getting his S4 a little early gives him and Rainer a head start in writing some S4 guides for the Traktor Bible. This head start also allows him to answer questions about the S4 on this forum, and the NI forum, as soon as end-users start having questions about their newly acquired piece of AWESOME!

Please correct me if I'm wrong Karlos

Haha, *motherly tone* calm down kids you will get your turn soon enough! Patience is a virtue.

Karlos is special because he is the reason for 85% of NI sales. ;-)

Dude seriously WTF...
I have never complained about not being employed by NI. It would be nice but as im a pro DJ I don't need the work or money plus it means I can be impartial which I have to be to be a Moderator.

No conspiracy here.

Pretty much all that Wickedsight said is spot on.
That's how it works. There are other members of this forum in the same position as me regarding other companies, no big deal.
No NDA break, no info without consent.

Just trying to help by answering a few questions on this forum as many djtt guys don't go over to NI.

I'm not special , I'm just involved.

Bit crappy that you don't see it that way .

Listen; I'm sorry if what I said put anybody else, including my self, in a place of unspecial status. I didn't mean it that way. I was just wondering why. As far as the NI forums go, it was a joke (I think) made by somebody else that they should hire you. I don't remember the exact context and because of that I am also sorry for quoting something out of context. By saying "I'm not special , I'm just involved." My guess is you intend exactly that; you received an early copy because with knowledge of it's capabilities you give back to the community 24/7. I am not keen to your previous whereabouts and relationships to NI, and to some degree I am, it slipped my mind. Won't happen again.

I didn't take offence.

You made a statement that was partly untrue. I corrected it.
If you can't stand someone correcting you don't make assumptions.

Jus sayin
