NI&#x27;s products such as the S8, D2, F1 and X1 are mostly targeted at DJs playing electronic music, particularly house and techno. Genres where there&#x27;s a lot of room for live experimentation with many different layers, due to the easily quantisable nature of the music. I doubt they had Stevie Wonder and Metallica in mind while developing this ;)<p>For production purposes you&#x27;d probably want a lossless file format anyway.
