What will take it’s place?
It appears that NI are set to clear out the supply of S4’s, as I guess they are making room in their factory for something different. I can only imagine a 4 channel mixer perhaps something such as a Kontrol Z4? What about 4 remix decks? There’s no reason why you can’t use four remix decks at once. What do you think is coming?
Traktor Tips 
I am anxiously waiting myself, the fact that NI broke ties with Pioneer on developing a new Traktor version of the Pioneer controller tells me that they are putting out something of their own. I’m impatiently waiting to make jump away from Itch to Traktor but don’t want to purchase an S4 if it will be replaced soon.
My heart starts beating soo fast when I get to thinkn about Traktors next controller! I would LOVE to see something along the lines of a DDJ-TX (I know that’s pioneer but I’m talking about build quality). However I am greatful for the price drop on the S4 as I am about to purchase in the next couple weeks. Aside from a ddj tx, I’d also like to see a new S4R (R for Remix) with xlr outs, stand a lone mixer with added touch pads to control the remix/sample decks and maybe some bigger jogs. Just my opinion though.
XLR out would be sweet – also an XLR Mic in would be great too.
