While STEMS was well received, after the initial period of re-releases sadly STEMS ready tracks began to appear with less frequency and NI took the decision to park the product and return to Traktor Pro’s roots. With the ability to split individual tracks down into four sub mix STEMS (for example, bass, drums, vocals and instruments) a number of dance labels took the opportunity to re-release some of their back catalogue. The development of STEMS would add the D2, S5 and S8 to the Kontrol range, and would again offer DJs another opportunity to take their sound further. In 2012, the first dedicated Traktor scratch mixer – Kontrol Z2 – arrived, again changing the game with built-in mixer controls to allow turntablists to take their performance to the next level. In 2011, Traktor Pro 2 was launched with a wealth of new features, NI continued to push the boundaries of the DJ booth. This deep level of integration would kick start the DJ controller boom, with many other brands following the same ethos to this day. The software became Traktor Pro in 2008 before NI launched the original Traktor S4 in 2010 – delivering the first hardware DJ Controller and software combination developed by one manufacturer. Since its launch, Native Instruments DJ software has powered Stanton’s “Final Scratch” DVS before going it alone in the world of DVS as Traktor Scratch. Another good example that working DJ’s producers could really use, are sampler and looper that we can load with our own.Native Instruments Traktor Pro 3 is the latest generation of the popular DJ software which was originally launched in 2001. There’s been so many positive developments with DJ Pro, I hope that you can look at features that will make it more usable, like this, rather than adding more toys that nobody really uses. Not very useful when working high paced in the booth.Īnyhow, I digress…it is very limiting only having one modifier(the shift key) in DJ Pro because it leaves much of the controller only able to function in a minimal way. Right now if I use the lights, for things like cues etc, the whole controller is just on with red lights. Use case would be, the button I use for “Play” on my K2, blinks while playing, rather than when stopped, or even blinking to the BPM. We also need to be able to control the OUT states of midi for lights etc. If you want to grab widespread adoption, I would suggest this as a way to do so by real working Dj’s. STAFF AND MODERATORS: please read this, we are trying to make the leap to DJ Pro AI, completely, but it is very difficult without advanced Midi functions like this. If Traktor comes out with Tidal and Soundcloud integration, I’m going back.īeen working on a mapping for our K2’s within Dj Pro Ai, to match what my wife and I do with Traktor. Those of us that make use of these really powerful conditions and rules have been able to do some crazy shit with MIDI controllers and can turn any MIDI device into a hundred more things than the manufacutrers had intended for it. Traktor Pro has had 8 Modifers each with 8 states, as well as a ton of different modifier conditions for about a hundered years now, and no other company has decided to try and steal this from them yet. Shift + Cue 2 could trigger Modifier 1, state 2, which might be Loop mode, so then all of the Cue points turn into Loop functions on the condition that Modifier 1 is in State 2. For example, If I have a controller with four cue buttons and a SHIFT button, Shift + Cue 1 could trigger Modifier 1, state 1, which might be Cue mode, so all of the Cue buttons, on the condition that Modifier 1 is in State 1, become cue points. What I want to do is have multiple modifers as well as modifier states which could be used like ‘pages’ for simple MIDI controllers. We can already assign multiple actions to one button.
