    Ok, forgot about the upgrade window in the Service Center – things make sense now.

    I have TP2 on my windows7 pc…. but I wouldn’t trust it in a gig (2.3GHz i5, but it gets bogged down by some phantom app I can’t trace down). The MacBook Pro I want is $1600 (CAN) so for a portable and stable stop-gap while saving my pennies, I’m very impressed for $200. I got the S4 for Scratch integration, but I love that you can have full DVS or this tiny bare-bones but still highly functional setup offered by one piece of kit.

    Yup – adapter works like a dream – and for $50 I would hope so. But I have to admit, it’s pretty amazing technology – the functionality you can get out of that tiny computer and an S4 was worth waiting for the mk2.

    I’m hoping it’s a simple matter of an adapter.

    Ok sorry – The S4mk2 is iPad/iPhone compatible/plug and play with Traktor DJ, and comes with a cable with the square end that jacks into the S4 where the USB cable goes, and it has a 30 pin flat connector that I take it was the old protocol for iPod/iPhone at the other end. The new iPad/iPods must have a new connector roughly 5mm across (the old one is ~15mm). NI recommends an iPod5, but makes no mention of how it would connect to the S4.
    I’m under the impression hooking the iPod up to the S4 will give me proper cuing and nudging through the external soundcard.
    If I like Traktor DJ on my iPod, I’d consider getting an iPad4 and/or a MacBook Pro for metadata syncing etc.
    Hope that makes more sense.
