Traktor Pro... due for an update?

So I noticed Traktor Pro hasn't been updated since April... they used to update it about once a month but have done nothing for the past 7 months. Think they are moving on to version 2.0? It certainly still has bugs that need to be worked out.

Anyone heard any news regarding this?

i would like to know too

I can't help but feel it has something to do with the massive discounts they are throwing out now. I don't really know why they would not update, not like they are going to drop it, but still seems a little too coincidental. Anyone going to winter NAMM?

regarding discounts, agreed. it makes sense to try and push as many sales of the "old" software before a newer version comes out. it's just been way too long since they've done any updates.

FYI found this on the Native Instruments forum...

It will be updated whenever new information becomes available.

The patch is currently in this phase:

For an explanation of the different phases, please see the section below.

---------

The update will include the following improvements:

New functionality:
Resolution for "tempo" parameter increased

This list is subject to change, and does not necessarily list all features and fixes that will be in the final update.

Please understand that it is not possible to give a specific release date until a patch has passed final testing. Updates may revert back to "development" at any time if additional issues are discovered during testing.

Well, they just released the S4... which has a bunch of new features that ARE coming to Traktor Pro. So no doubt this is the delay. They were getting the S4 out the door, and are back porting the new features to Traktor.

I just went ahead and installed 1.2.6 on my Mac Pro... not gonna sit around until they finally update.

freakish prediction there. but really, these updates probably mean nothing to 95% of users.

Posted by DJ Willyson on Nov-11-2010 01:43:

They updated today, i believe.
1.2.7 is out.

Posted by keithos27 on Nov-11-2010 22:26:

LOL seriously... I knew nothing. Based on the update I posted it was 3/4 through... who would have thought that last bit would take 12 hours (when the entire update took 7 months... lol

btw, i noticed 1.2.7 still has the start-up beep error. :/
