Native Instruments has finally opened its offices in Tokyo, Japan in order to maintain an active presence in the booming music industry of the country. In celebration of the new location, Native Instruments held a Hello Tokyo! Launch Party at Womb (Tokyo's premier nightclub) right in Japan. Amongst the guests were the CEO of Native Instruments, Daniel Haver, along with top DJ's Jamie Jones, Darren Price, DJ Craze, Baku, Kaito and other leading Japanese artists. Check out the video for a behind-the-scenes look at the event after the jump.

Magma DJ Solutions is bringing us the new Switchbox V2 that makes it a lot easier for DJ's to switch between two different Software/Computer-controlled setups while being able to use the same Mixer. This would make it so DJ's at clubs won't have to disconnect and reconnect cables to a Mixer when they want to switch their control interface or if there are multiple DJ's working the same gig (i.e. turntablist battles)..

Native Instruments has just launched the Summer of Sound Sales Special which offers certain product owner's 50% off sales specials of new software plug-ins, upgrades, and crossgrades including KOMPLETE 10 and KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE production suites, as well as the MASCHINE 2 software update.

The long awaited (and often teased) Traktor Kontrol S4 is finally here! Our good peeps over at Native Instruments in the Berlin office were gracious enough to send us a Brand New Traktor Kontrol S4 unit along with a Native Instruments S4 flight case for us to review. So, I literally took the box from my doorstep and into the Lab for a complete unboxing and first impressions video to show the masses. Video after the jump!
