Traktor Pro

NEW EFFECTS FOR PRO

Users of TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO are treated to three extra effects in this 1.2 version. Taking the total to 24 highly creative and professional effects, this update adds a Beat Slicer, and Formant Filter and a Peak Filter to your arsenal of weapons- all of which need to be heard to be believed.

Four independent effect units:

The already impressive TRAKTOR effects section just got twice as nice. With the addition of two more effects units (in PRO versions only) the potential for warping and twisting your tracks has been vastly increased. With three separate effects chainable per unit, the possibilities are now almost endless.

Native HID / Display Support

TRAKTOR now supports the HID (Human Interface Device) protocol for the Pioneer CDJ-400 and display support for the Denon DN-HC4500. HID is an alternative to MIDI control that boasts a much improved sensitivity, meaning even more precise control over pitch control and effects parameters etc. HID also utilizes the product displays to show TRAKTOR info such as track name, remaining time etc, directly on the hardware.

IMPROVED TIME-STRETCHING ALGORITHM

The new advanced Élastique time stretching algorithm delivers a new level in time-stretching quality at an amazing workload efficiency. The algorithm has been developed to detect tonal and transient components in your tracks with high accuracy, making the Keylock function in TRAKTOR 1.2 sound pristine. The new algorithm also ensures exceptional efficiency in CPU usage.

MASCHINE INTEGRATION

TRAKTOR will work in perfect harmony with the upcoming MASCHINEgroove studio. Sync MASCHINE to TRAKTOR and use the AUDIO 8 DJ to route the MASCHINE audio to your mixer. Simultaneously use the MASCHINE hardware as a MIDI controller for TRAKTOR.

Once you have selected SYNC for a deck, it will remain engaged when loading a new track. Drop a new track into a mix in perfect time, without having to hit the sync button again.

Advanced Controller Setup Wizard

Fast and convenient set up of controllers and interfaces is now possible with the addition of this feature. The Wizard can be dialed up from within the application (and opens on first startup) plus it also allows hotplugging of devices while TRAKTOR is running. Once a device is connected, select it in the Wizard and it'll load the respective TSI with all settings. Plug and play!
