#TRAKTOR PRO 3 COMPATIBLE CONTROLLERS UPGRADE#

Upgrade to Serato DJ Pro to unlock even more features. Other than the 4-deck control and displays the two controllers are identical. Existing owners of S4вЂ™s can do the same thing since Remix Deck control got unlocked for all controllers with the release of 2.6.2.Numark MIXTRACK Platinum FX 4-channel Serato DJ Lite Controller Sells separately for $279. On the S4, the вЂњSamplesвЂќ indicator found on the MK1 is gone, instead replaced with вЂњRemixвЂќ вЂ“ for Remix Deck control in Traktor Pro which replaced the now defunct sample decks. Like with Traktor, this number ranges from 1/32 вЂ“ 32.Д«oth controllers continue to have 1-to-1 control over Traktor Pro, and have added a flux mode button, RGB cuepoints and Remix Deck control to utilize advancements in that software over the last 3 years. When the S2 / S4 is connected, this number represents the Loop size, which is fully adjustable before a Loop is set.

When no hardware is connected, the same 1.0 behaviour remains вЂ“ keylock always on. This allows the user to enable and disable Keylock, but only when the S2 or S4 is connected. We also noticed in the video that Traktor DJ has two new icons visible in the interface ( see screenshot at right) вЂ“ a keylock indicator and a number button where the loop button should be. Keylock and Loop Numbers вЂ“ new TDJ features. But the S4 does promise more freeze mode control and dedicated filter knobs, so it does become bit of a toss up as to which is the better fit for the iOS DJ. While just two controls on the S2 are unused in Traktor DJ mode (sample deck buttons and volume knob), the S4 has two unused channel strips (C+D), deck switch buttons, and the loop recorder button.

What they donвЂ™t mention is that ( for now) two channels on the S4 MK2 are completely unused when in a Traktor DJ workflow вЂ“ thereвЂ™s no four deck version of the iPad software set for release at this time. Not sure what Freeze Mode is? See EanвЂ™s video on Traktor DJ You can also use your loop move knob to move the Freeze Mode zone rapidly. You hit the left loop knob and it is like pressing freeze, then it puts the Freeze Mode points on your buttons and the LEDs move to the beat (slices) вЂ“ you can see it in the first part of the video. Mad Zach elaborates on how the Freeze Mode workflow operates: To control this mode, the app seems to assign numbers to each region of the frozen section of the track, which then corresponds to the cue point buttons. Native Instruments notes that the controllers now offer physical control of everyВ function in Traktor DJ, including Freeze Mode. The power supply is required for any iOS use вЂ“ and will charge the iPad/iPhone in the process.

The S2 MK2 and an iPad in particular seems like a good option for a lightweight portable mobile setup. TRAKTOR DJ CONTROL Freeze Mode now assigns numbers to each playable regionД«oth of the units are plug-and-play compatible with the immensely successful Traktor DJ iPad + iPhone app вЂ“ and itвЂ™s likely that a big reason for the MK2 versions is to market the controllers directly to users of that application. Other specs like dynamic range and crosstalk have also improved from MK1. The balanced 1/4вЂі outs can now reach +18dBu. The levels of the rear outputs have been increased from MK1. Filter and Browse knobs now in a silver/gray color to match the jogwheelsДЄdditionally вЂ“ Mad Zach (whoвЂ™s had a bit of a hands-on with the unit) reports that the feel of the controls is significantly improved versus the S4 MK1:.

Flux Mode button for each deck, above the tempo fader.

The resolution has stayed the same, but the magnetic braking system on the jogwheels is gone in place of the heavier wheels themselves.

jog-wheels made of aircraft-grade aluminum вЂ“ this will likely fix a lot of the wear issues that S4/s2 owners had.

color-coded RGB buttons (four on the S2, eight on the s4) for cues / loops / samples вЂ“ the colors are dictated.

NI has limited their updates on the unit to a few key areas: ThereвЂ™s no touch-strips or jogwheel-less design like some of our forum members have imagined вЂ“ and all of the I/O on the units remains the same. In terms of physical differences between the MK1 and MK2 generations, much of the design has stayed the same. Read on for all the info, a video of both of the controllers in action, and exclusive details from Mad Zach and Native Instruments. In addition to new aluminum jogwheels and upgrading the controls to match advances in Traktor Pro, both units are now compatible with the Traktor DJ iPad/iPhone application. After much speculation: Native Instruments is today finally announcing the next generation of the Traktor Kontrol S2 and Kontrol S4 controllers.
