Following the past path NI released the S4 and then released the S2 (correct me if I’m wrong). Now they released the Z2 2 channel mixer so it stands to reason they would come out w/ a 4 channel mixer. The problem I see with that is the price point. If the Z2 is already $799 a Z4 would probably come in over $1000 and that’s an automatic NO for me.
The S4 is likely being discontinued if you have read the posts and Phil’s column about the recent sale “while supplies last.” So its reasonable to assume the next 4 channel controller will have the touch strips and some of the other new components. I feel bad for anyone who recently bought an S2 or S4 before the announcements.
What do you think is coming next?
I really like your comment of having the next controller with touch strips! Why not right? lol With that said, I see them moving more in the peformance direction…what ever that looks like in the near future. I’ve had my S2 for close to 2 years now and have been patiently waiting for some sneak peaks of their next generation of controllers.
