    I would buy one and sell my table and mixer if they could make one with quality faders and cross faders (like rane or allen and heath) and if you could have balanced outs.

    The S2 and S4 have balanced outs.

    Anyone for an internal storage medium? I know that I would find it useful, but I'm not the average user...

    I'd personally like to see some 'midifighter' style arcade buttons on my NS6. Rubber buttons is a 100% turn off for me on a controller, but the cue point buttons on the NS6 are hard to use two fingers on but throwing the arcade buttons on it would be perfect.

    Being a new S4 owner and coming from CDJ/DJM set up, which i still own and will go back to at some point, there are a few things I would love to see changed.

    1. Larger platters
    2. Much larger pitch faders - (although you can adjust the range all the way to 2%) Not 100% necessary......
    3. Much higher quality input faders. Those bad boys are tight.
    4. Gain knobs have click points in the pot, extremely annoying, unless you use autogain and don't touch them at all.
    5. XLR outs would be nice but not necessary. 1/4's work great and sound much better than RCA.
    6. Spacing between the Pitch faders and Hot Cue/Sampler bank is tight, forces you to use your left hand when adjusting picth on left deck and vice versa, otherwise you will bump something.
    7. Hot cue buttons are very close to the pitch faders. More than one occasion i've bumped the pitch fader hitting hot cue#1


    I'll think of more later..... Most of my points above are mute though if you are using sync and not touching the pitch.

    Make a controller that has a 12" spinning platter, +/- 8% pitch, a s-shaped tonearm, only plays vinyl and it says Technics 1200 on it.

    S2 and S4 have Balanced 1/4" outs...and RCA outs. So no XLR....but 1/4" TRS serve the same purpose
