It's gonna have to go a long way to match the S4 feature set, with no obvious way of controlling the sample decks.

It wont be with s4 software it doesnt look geared to that it will just replicate cdjs. Im thinking around £800 and build wont be brilliant. I dont think they are looking at this for club installs they would much rather clubs get cdj 2000's and djm 2000. These are compatible with both serato and traktor. I dont think it will compete with the s4 i think pioneer wont have much sucsess with this at all.

Do people buy itch products? I have tsp and serato and have never even though about buying itch It has no advantage over traktor for midi. So if you go controller you get traktor. And as no timecode support its not even in the dvs market. I reckon a grand for the Itch one

So the 4 deck Traktor controller is £200 less than the 2 deck Itch controller - why?

[Filterkat]

dont understand why the itch controller is more, sure it has VU meters and a few LED displays the other doesnt have, and ill admit it looks a lot nicer... BUT... 2 channels? why make a 2 channel controller for 4 deck software? Seems a bit backwards IMO

S1 is $1599 MSRP

... and T1 is $1299 MSRP.

Why? It seems standard to me. Serato stuff just costs more.
