![]() ![]() The concept is simple: let’s say that deck A is a standard player and deck C a Sample deck. Luckily, Traktor 2 has arrived and each of the four players can be used as a Sample deck, which means you can now use up to 16 samplers at the same time. In version 1.2.7 this possibility was unavailable, which was a disadvantage in front of competitor products. These players allow you to play back up to four samples at the same time. The sample decks are the main new feature. What Are the Differences Between Version 1.2.7 and Version 2 ?įirst of all, we have to mention that the upgrade to version 2 costs $69 for Traktor Pro owners and $129 for other users (DUO, LE). Except for Auto Bouncer, all other effects have a dedicated filter allowing you to fine tune the effect. An excellent effect but use it with moderation! Finally, Bouncer also allows you to repeat one bar of your track, but with different speeds and pitches. Auto Bouncer allows you to repeat one bar according to 10 patterns (five directly accessible and five accessed pressing the Alt key) the repetition speed can be modified. It allows you to control the length and the speed of the ramp delay itself. Considering that the S4 has only three EQ controls, it’s easy to understand why this last option isn’t provided.įour new effects: Tape Delay emulates an analog tape delay and is synced with the tempo. Both lower and higher bands provide infinite attenuation, while the mid bands can be attenuated up to –30 dB. You have four frequency bands at your disposal: low, low-mid, high-mid, and high. The Xone EQ emulates the EQ in the famous Allen & Heath mixer. The NUO EQ emulates Ecler mixers and provides different attenuations depending on the frequency band. The three-band P600 EQ offers a slightly wider range from +12 to –26 dB. The three-band Classic EQ allows you to adjust each band from +12 to –24 dB, and it has full kills. As a reminder, Traktor provides you with four EQ types: That way you can match the dress and color code of the party. The three other modes allow you to change the saturation of only one color: Ultraviolet (blue), Infrared (orange), X-Ray (white). ![]() – Four Color modes can be selected: Spectrum means that the full color spectrum is used. – Four Grid modes are available to select the display mode of the BeatGrid: Full (continuous vertical white line), Dim (continuous vertical gray line), Ticks (only two marks above and below the waveform), and Invisible. Decks A and B could only be used in Track mode. With the S4 version, the selection was limited to decks C and D only. ![]() – Four decks you can independently setup “on-the-fly.” You can choose between Track Deck, Sample Deck and Live Deck. In fact, Traktor S4 is Traktor 2 “customized” to fit the design of the S4 hardware controller (even if the latter was launched previously): Here is a list of all products that include Traktor LE.Ĭonsidering that the update is free, it’s very unlikely that the differences are huge. This version is only available bundled with other products. You get no loop recorder and no sample decks, and you get only three effects. Traktor SCRATCH (either in DUO or PRO version): adds two major features, timecode control for vinyls and a native audio interface (Audio 6 with DUO and Audio 10 with PRO). It lacks nothing except for a timecode control for vinyls. Traktor PRO: this version has four decks, four FX processors, 30 effects. Traktor DUO: the version just below Traktor PRO with only two decks, two FX processors, six effects, no loop recorder… I don’t have any of these controllers, so I couldn’t do a test, but my guess is that they do work…Ī quick overview of the Traktor 2 range (see all features here). ![]() In fact, you’ll notice that among all 42 control surface listed in Traktor, only two of them are not officially supported by Traktor 2: Allen & Heath XONE 3D and VESTAX VCM 100. As a reminder, you’ll find all supported controllers here. As expected, the controller as well as its internal sound card were recognized and all controls worked properly. The first thing I did was check if my Numark Omni Control worked properly using the Setup Wizard in Traktor 2. I have three Traktor versions installed in my computer to compare them for the review: Traktor PRO 1.2.7, Traktor PRO S4 1.0.1 and the brand new Traktor PRO 2. You will have no problems during the installation. Like every Native Instruments software, you’ll have to authorize the product via the service center: a small interface that allows you to enter your activation key, follow the recommended updates and download the documentation and drivers relative to your NI products. ![]()
