I’ve felt that they’ve improved the durability of the products with each new device. I can still do everything required of the job without having a freaking monitor in between me and the dancefloor.Īs to the hardware quality. I will ask the sound guys to plug that in. you do that.Īs a pretty complete solution I admire it a lot. But maybe you are feeling lazy and just want to plug in a USB stick. IF you have time maybe you use exactly what you want how you want. But if time is tight you use the most logical and quick solution. I would imagine in proper clubs they would have the latest CDjs and a good mixer. They put things in their riders and deal with issues as they arrive at gigs. Reals DJ’s don’t complain or fret about what is available at the club or venue. I think the product looks like a breath of fresh air and exactly the direction I had hoped they would take the hardware.
Check out some of the original speculation about the product in this article where one of our forum members predicts the S8 almost on the money!Īs usual people continue to piss and moan about what will work in the club or not, what it should have or shouldn’t and completely missing the mark on the real perks of the product because they can’t see how it would exactly fit into how they dj or what djing is “supposed” to look like. We’ll continue to have some of the best coverage of the Kontrol S8 in the coming weeks as it approaches a release date. The Kontrol S8 has on onboard crossfader curve adjust on the front of the unit – which means that effectively the entire middle section of the controller is almost identical to what a Kontrol Z4 mixer might look like.The screens have the ability to show two decks simultaneously – note the above screenshot (grainy because of the zoom level) showing Deck A (track deck) and Deck C (Remix Deck).Two decks shown on the Kontrol S8’s screens simultaneously “Capture” and “Edit” buttons to the bottom left of the screens seem to indicate that the Kontrol S8 has a complete workflow for recording and quickly deploying Remix Deck slots, a process that only has been super-intuitive on the Kontrol F1 controllers until now.Modes include Hotcue triggering, Loops, Freeze, and Remix. The decks have pads with switchable modes, just like on most of the other all-in-one controllers out in the last year.Touch Strips seem to be the replacement for jog wheel control but will we see Traktor DJ style features applied to this strip (freeze mode, two fingers to set loop/loop size, etc)?.Major things we can tell just from this image: These initial glimpses seem to completely confirm the leaked images. We had seen a number of leaks show up at the beginning of the month from various sources – and while we haven’t been able to write about them on the blog, there’s been rampant discussion in the forums discussing and debating the validity of the product mockup shots that made their way onto the web. NATIVE INSTRUMENTS S8 LEAKS CONFIRMED? One of the product shots that was leaked earlier this month now seems to be legit. This likely also means that the S8 will be Traktor Scratch-certified.
