Hey @happydan, welcome to our midst!

In all honesty, I am just seeing the Push controller, A Kontrol D2, an A&H DB4 and 2 Kontrol X-1, wondering what they are coming up with.

That's not a DB4... No crossfader.

You're right, it's also the PLAYdifferently featured knobs and not the DB knobs, looking at it again.

As this mixmag article points out, DJTT has an keen eye on details.

Just wondering if Ean is teaming up on this one as well.

DJTT got the scoop for reasons. Really, though, there's nothing much to say right now.

True, it's more about creating the needed hype and prototyping at the moment.
Though I would love to see more of it.

But ... Formfactor seems to be DB related if you ask me.

More in common with the 62/92 I reckon, considering it's Andy and Richie!

True, I'm seeing four knobs per channel plus gain...

But somehow I'm guessing 3 for EQ, one for filter or fx?

happydan 2016-02-04 23:38:49 UTC #10

Nah, looking at the knob positions, bottom one is probably bass, so four EQs. My guess is it's analogue, too. I wish I knew more than you, but really I don't!

leslie 2016-02-04 23:50:01 UTC #11

Oof, first four bass EQs closed... dayumn... He's got a serious 6 channel thing going on here.

happydan 2016-02-04 23:56:00 UTC #12

Four channels of Traktor, one channel of Ableton Audio and one channel of send/return FX from Traktor into Ableton, I believe.

Seems a plausible connection, especially with all the controllers attached to it.

You'd thnk he's trying to cook up something similar as Pioneer's got going on with the whole nexus ranges right?
Hooking up MIDI to a mixer, so no additional (USB) hubs and sound cards are needed.

happydan 2016-02-05 11:12:47 UTC #14

He's got Xone K1s in the top picture, so it might even have X-link built in.

leslie 2016-02-05 14:24:00 UTC #15

Would be awesome if both were options are offered on the mixer.

USB and X-Link that is. It might also be awesome if proLink would be offered, though I'm guessing this would be barking up Pioneer's tree.
