Kontrol S61 MK3 listing leak?
Found this listing on Google shopping after digging a bit. What do you think, is this legit?
Update - Just checked again, they have removed the listing from Google completely:

Hard to say, if it is real, or just render for fun.
I expect new keyboards to come within few weeks. So, this may be real one.

Assuming this is real...
So glad they didn't add pads and faders!

Nice, it does not seem to introduce new hardware control elements in order to keep the interface for existing compatibility. Now, if it used a touch-sensitive screen (one larger screen as opposed to two smaller ones), it might spell the same for the Maschines of future.

I hope this isn't real because it can't compete with the Arturia Keylab then. All that blank space not being used.

If it's real, I'm glad they brought back the full-width lights for each key.

It does look like one big screen, and if it's a touch screen, that opens up a lot of new possibilities. That could explain why they haven't added tons of buttons — in fact, it appears to have fewer buttons than KK mk2. IMO that would be a smart move, because a screen-based UI can evolve with software, but buttons are permanent. There are some standard ones like transport controls that you'll always want, but KK mk2 had a bunch of Maschine-specific buttons that (as far as I know) don't do anything in other DAWs (providing no value for non-Maschine users), and may become less useful with future versions of Maschine.
I imagine they would also eventually release a Maschine mk4 with the same big (touch?) screen.

I doubt it's touch screen...
The 4D encoder plus the ring around it look like the intended screen navigation method

Good point. That’s probably a better choice anyway. Custom touch screen UIs are often laggy/janky, and it would require an onboard CPU, further increasing the cost.

If that's a touch screen, it can suck it.

Again, I doubt it is a touch screen. Presence of 4D encoder is a big clue.

Purple circles are emerging other places.....

what does that mean? lol

It's a design theme that is also in the new Traktor hardware and probably the next Maschine too I suspect (and also a nice clue...)

Show me the purple circles please

More of a magenta actually..... and was visible in pre-release leak of new Traktor product...
But a circle in the S-series is circling around too.....
