![]() ![]() When you look at the midi fighter twister and the digital warrior you can imagine that it wouldn’t take a genius at NI to think “hey, lets just put that into the next version of Traktor” and call it a Maschine deck or something. I’m predicting that Traktor’s next upgrade will only advance the remix decks further and hopefully incorporate a step sequencer. I think NI are going to move a little further from traditional DJing. We’ll leave you with one more bit of speculation about the Traktor Kontrol S8 from forum member Ash Carr: The other idea that jumps to mind is that Native Instruments could have a DDJ-SZ-style controller that has two soundcards integrated into it – meaning that if both DJs are plugged in at the same time, there’s four decks coming from each DJ – giving you eight decks total. What if the Kontrol S8 looked like this mockup we made in 2013? – Komplete 10 and several new keyboards and some new software”īut does a Kontrol S8 even make sense? Would it have controls for eight different decks? That might seem excessive, but perhaps if the other decks are focused on live remixing or F1-like abilities (maybe even with a bridge to Maschine), it starts to make a bit more sense. Leon (traktor-instructor) comes to visit us 3 times: “ There is already some news about the courses for October 2014 Roughly translated, the interesting part is this: Forum member Fango Jett posted this screenshot from a dutch DJ store: We wanted to include a bit of speculative discussion that’s been going on in the DJTT forums about a new Native Instruments hardware or software release. These are likely the ideal users for whatever is coming next… WHAT ABOUT A KONTROL S8? Notice also who these interviews are with – producer/DJs who heavily edit tracks and layer additional sounds on top of their DJ sets using the Remix Decks. In the other half, they’ve shown the artists a first look at an upcoming product or hardware that takes Traktor’s live remixing capabilities to a new level. Here’s what we suspect: Native Instruments is very carefully only showing us half of these “Future of DJing” interviews. Watch below (or watch the first one with MK here): The silence is slowly starting to show cracks – with a second video just uploaded in the “Future of DJing” series, this time featuring techno duo Pan-Pot.
