I know what you mean about the Xponent having more functions though, but from what I can tell it all looks a little cramped. If you get the opportunity you should try to get hands on with them, that way you could tell for yourself how good they will be.
Although I never managed to get hands on with any of my purchases I have always found that they suited me and I got what I needed out of them at the time I had them. In other words when I bought my Mixtrack I was completely unsure if a controller was for me as I came from CDJ background, but as an introduction to controllers, the Mixtrack fitted the bill perfectly. Once I got my head around what controllers could do (other than mix one tune into the next) I realised I needed more so purchased the S4.
If you can’t get hands on with them, then Google is you’re best friend for making an informed choice from online reviews.
Only you will know what you need from the controller.
HTH
If I could get my hands on any of the the two I would’ve but, unfortunately, that’s not possible as all my research & my purchase is going to be online, shipped to a friend of mine who is going to get it for me here. You can’t find a lot of options here, if any, actually which sucks!
I understand what you mean when you say it looks cramped but I looked at videos of people using the thing & I think that the controls are big enough & have enough space for my hands.
I don’t think I’m gonna need any pad for sample triggering because I already have a korg nanopad which I can also map to use as a sample trigger.
Congrats on the S4, that thing is sexy as hell! Enjoy it! 😀
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! 🙂
