NI's NEW Traktor Controller...

Posted by Polt on Jul-21-2010 20:08:

DJ Tech Tools put up a short post about this, and I'll write a similar comment to what I wrote there:

This looks like a competitor to the XoneX and Serato Itch. By including a soundcard into the midi controller, they can a hardware product that is similar to the DX, but utilizes all of the features found in Traktor. If the pricing is right, then people may decide to go with this system instead of Itch due to the feature set.

I saw that on Facebook today and it looks pretty awesome. Specially since it supports 4 decks.

Hmmm...

This looks really interesting. From the look so of it deck 3 and 4 can be set to samplers instead of just decks. Interesting idea.

I'm keen on getting more info. From the cost of the other units this thing will probably cost around �1200 mark i'm guessing. Unless they really go for it and under cut the competitors like crazy.

Dunno if i'd ditch my entire system though. I still like vinyl control.

What I'm most curious about is how those little jog wheels will work. If they nail the feel this could be big. If they suck balls like the DX's, it could just be another controller.

Exactly what I was thinking. I really didn't like the DX.

Damn! Why did you have to go and show me this. lol. Now I'll have to go and check this out.

I just went out and picked up Traktor Pro, along with an X1 today. Hope to having it installed by the weekend. I may have to pick up another X1 or unless I see this thing and like it.

Hopefully, they've updated to allow more than 8 hot cues. With that sample function, it looks pretty cramped on the screen.

Good that it supports 4 decks, the jog wheels look proper poneh though.

I'm more interested in that version of Traktor with sample decks...

Yeah it does, but you gotta remember that Traktor is completely customizable. You can pretty much take anything out of the screen you don't want.

Actually I wish there was LOADS more you could customise with Traktor's layout. It's a good start, but I'd love to see completely resizeable sections

AND BRING BACK THE COVER ART VIEW - like in Traktor 3. I know you can view cover art in the list, but I literally want a load of tiled covers to basically look like a CD wallet I can flick through. Beatport-esque (which if I remember rightly is where the Traktor 3 browser came from)
