We need a Traktor Battle mixer, with 8 proper performance pads, FX Padles, 2 FX units, audio interface that can route individual channels to Ableton, etc, etc…

Design looks cool!

And Reddit says it has OLED displays and stem controls. 😅

Unlikely, probably won't sell enough to make it profitable. Most people who are in the market for battle mixers are looking at Pioneer and Rane. Me included.

If they ever make something like a Z2 or a successor to it again, they can have all my money. I would 1000% buy it. Mapping the other battle mixers from RANE to Pioneer to Reloop really pisses me off. It takes so much time that I would rather invest in my sets.

Maybe they will take pity on us and let a third-party manufacturer take on the matter or offer us a factory mapping for it.

Yes you would buy it, together with some other people. But it won't be enough I'm afraid.

You're probably right. Still, it's interesting how many people keep asking about it. Same with the D2 or the S8.

They say there’s often some truth behind rumors. 😬

I might get this one for an ultra-portable setup, but I'm going to wait and see what might happen in terms of a future S4 first.

looks like it’s going to be priced at £214 in the UK…
