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

[oliosky]

because i'll use it as a mixer with an x1 and I like using the xfader over upfaders for the stuff I play.

[padi_04]

i think it targets being a sample deck controller rather than a mixer

[Jester]

i havent used a cross fader in 5 years

why?

cool. I have. Used one this morning.

I haven't used one to mix ever.

At least, not seriously.

Though I might look into learning to spin hip hop, at which point I'd start…

[oliosky]

When I was using vinyl and was super into my prog and deep house I never touched the xfader. But I play everything these days and the xfader is a essential tool IMO

[padi_04]

why?

Too thin, faders are on the short side

[Dubba Dutch]

I'm with them!

Like wise, If my dream was to come true it would be Traktors answer to an APC40 to complement an extenal setup

16 scenes split over 4 tracks = epic sample control and workflow update

RGB led are there for purpose...

It is actually Joostiisme's, originally. I just drew it up in 3D and polished it a bit.

What is interesting, though, is that NI must have been browsing these forums.

I can say I'm frustrated that something I worked on was "ripped off", honestly, it just saves us lot a couple of years worth or RnD, or more!

Still, this probably means that we have a somewhat clear channel to somewhere inside of Native Instruments. Want to fire up the suggestion threads and I'll get drawing, anyone?

Thanks for the credits
we should contact NI if it is our design. Demand some credits from them too.

When the thread started to get a lot of comments and interested member I send Ean an E-mail informing him about the existence of the thread. Maybe he informed NI.
should be a bummer if he did get positive response from NI and didn't send any info back to us.
