[Updated Feb 10th - We've just spoken with the Australian distributor for Vestax, and the word is it won't be due until later this year. We'll keep you posted.]
One of the more interesting products to surface out of the latest round of NAMM announcements is the Vestax VCM-400, ostensibly the bigger badder brother of the existing VCM 100 controller. This thing looks like a rugged, installation quality mixer with big logical button/fader layout designed to really unleash the midi control/four deck digital sync capabilities of the new Traktor Pro interface.
With a simple flick assignment between deck A/C and B/D this unit is looking like it will be the quickest, most fluid way to control every parameter on all four Traktor decks short of buying two dedicated controllers. Built in sound card I/O like the VCM-100 means this console is going to be a serious all-in-one controller for the adventurous Traktor user. No hard information on Au. release as yet, but here are some photos to wet your whistle. More information as it arrives.
Thanks,

It's missing just one thing. A controller to let you actually manipulate the controls with a spanking motion. Something like iSpank for the iPhone, perhaps?

looks fat but I'm not too sure how logical 4-deck mixing with only two upfaders will be
