I am hoping for a sampler and a 2nd generation VL12. I dont think its a new mixer judging by the pics.
I will also be a tad irked if its a newer SC5000, or even a cut down one - I dont think we need that as much as a sampler / vinyl deck.
Am hoping for some leaks, but it seems water tight at the moment, sadly.
Just bumping this post in the hope Denon haven’t forgotten about making this for us.
They didn’t say at anytime that they would make one.
So it’s not so much a case of forgotton, more one of never expected. If anyone particularly wants a sampler, buy a sampler.
We’ve got that versatile 2nd layer to utilise for sample playback.
I agree they have never confirmed one, but if we become annoying enough they just might give in! Plus one would look soo pretty in anyone’s setup!
That’s never worked in the past. Just look at posts asking for firmware fixes within reasonable and professional time periods
Buy some Christmas tree lights and drape those over your kit. Priorities lol
I made a concept of the device with very precise descriptions and workflow and passed it to them. Let’s see what comes out of this.
Never thought of that, thanks for your intelligent solution! 10,000 tree lights on order! #dreamsdocometrue
I’d buy it! 🙋 They should nab you for design team! That’s a great concept!
Sure- there’s a lot of things we can do with a second layer, that are well beyond sampler functions
I agree that part was intelligent, I was talking about the tree lights lol. I’m trying to give Denon money here 
I responded to your comment about how it would look pretty. Loz. I agree it shouldn’t look ugly, but I despair at these “illuminated kitchen floors” that some “DJs” surround themselves with, usually making a worse noise than the original radio edit ever achieved. Haha
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
How many units will it sell?
100? 1000?
A decision will probably be informed by distribution of sales of the denon primes, eg if the Prime4, Prime2 kinda of machines outsell the Sc players.
You’re absolutely right !
Another line of thought is this… would anyone ask the worlds best DnB DJ (if there is such a thing) to DJ at a Country & Western gig, or book the worlds top Techno DJ for a 8 year olds kids birthday party?
So, with inMusics plethora of talents, perhaps it would be better to get Akai to make a sampler which could work with any system, to maximise sales, but design it to have some clever Prime integration., beyond the pensionable midi connections, or simple 6.3 mm Jack in out loops.
A sampler that could do 20 things on anything you connect it to, but does 30 things if you connect it to Prime gear
What if this sampler would be also a send/return XY pad effect processor with effects macros under the pads that You would assign yourself, denon dj link grabbing looper and traktor remix decks style sampler in one?
My thought as well.
Maybe a next gen Akai stand-alone unit with Engine connect support, Ableton Link support.
open source or trusted partner licensing programme for Engine Connect is also another option.
Let any interested third party hardware manufacturer add it to their current or future gear.
All the Roland Aira Drum machine stuff perfectly in sync with the Prime decks with grids, phase detection.
Maschine
Push Etc
Exactly! Don’t just do a one for one of Pioneer’s unit, or anyone else’s for that matter. Improve on it, make it so that Denon has something no one else has!! After all Denon want to take the monopoly from Pioneer, the more they can offer the more people will want to jump ship. They’re already innovating beyond Pioneer so if they did bring something out I’m sure it would be something special!
Just buy an Akai Force.
I already did, but I can’t syncronize the bpm of the Force to the bpm of the SC5000 players. Midi coming out from the X1800 is not working as expected. An ethernet connection to use the DenonDJ ethernet link port could be used to sync the Force and the players, exactly the same way that the x1800 syncs with the players.
Already posted this issue in this forum and in Akai forums, but I received no answer 
Really love ur concept drawing. Looks that you’ ve to much time mate.
If Denon would bring out something like this, I’m on board getting it directly, can’t wait to get my hands on something like this.
Denon should consider working closer 2gether with all the other Inmusic brands.
Inmusic has the resources to bring such a unique product to life and make it really an awesome outstanding one.
An alternative option would be to add a sequencer/sampler/loop player directly into the players and sell a USB controller to add extra buttons.
A Pioneer DJ DDJ-XP2 style controller could retail for £300 and open up a hidden sample player within the Engine operating system that only shows once it is plugged into the rear Prime USB port.
