there are mic and headphone jacks so a built-in sound card is evident.auto loop encoder matches the s4 (look for this to become standard).based on the size of the jog wheels relative to the transport buttons, its full CDj-20 sized, which means a wide controller.the knobs and buttons look noticeably plastic.If not, and NI holds on to the S4 feature set for themselves, then I doubt the controller will make it much farther. If they did, then that means there will be real competition in the market place for that platform. The real question here is whether or not Pioneer struck a deal with NI to include a new Traktor Pro software with S4 features (more info tomorrow on that). Considering the new CDJ-200’s run around $300 each and a decent 4 channel mixer is at least $400, this should represent a really good value for new djs looking to maintain a Pioneer work flow in the digital domain. Throw in a 4 channel mixer and depending on the feature set/software bundle- you may have the first real competition for the S4. The Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller is clearly an amalgamation of their CDJ-200 line into the controller world. Read on for more speculation and a new record low volume of factual data! We have known this was coming for a while but Pioneer did an amazing job of keeping it from leaking, especially considering they showed it to everyone under the sun. Both are basically identical in layout but equipped with specific features for each software. They have been working on 2 models, 1 for Traktor (DDJ-T1) and one for Serato (DDJ-S1). Although widely rumored, its looking official, Pioneer is finally jumping on board the controller craze.
