Description :
Go Pro
TRAKTOR PRO sets the standard for power, reliability, and creativity in DJing. The culmination of a decade of DJ software development, TRAKTOR PRO perfectly meets pro DJs’ needs. With streamlined industry-standard workflows, 24 creative new effects, pre-assigned yet flexible MIDI mapping of all major controllers, premium sound quality and up to four playback decks, TRAKTOR PRO is in a class of its own.
Four To The Floor
With four decks, TRAKTOR PRO makes adding tracks, loops or samples a breeze. Ultra-precise beat detection and an automatic beat-grid give you the BPM readings you need for mixing, while the Sync Lock function ensures that beat-matched tracks never drift out of time. Intelligent loop and cue functions let you easily remix tracks on the fly with this state of the art DJ software.
TRAKTOR In Effect
TRAKTOR PRO’s onboard mixer integrates the Allen & Heath™ Xone: 92™ 4-band EQ and filters, giving you full control of the frequency spectrum. The incredible TRAKTOR PRO effects section offers four independent effect units which can load any of the effects either in "single" or in "group" mode allowing to configure unique sounding effect chains. Everything from studio-quality delays to professional tempo-synced performance effects are included, all built using Native Instruments' REAKTOR technology.
PRECISION INTERFACE
The TRAKTOR PRO user interface has been enhanced for maximum ease of use of our DJ software. High contrast, scalable fonts and intelligent grouping simplify your workflow and keep you focused on the mix. The addition of the intuitive "Crate Flick" search lets you visually flip through your collection’s cover art with ease.
FLEXIBLE SETUP
TRAKTOR PRO is completely flexible. You can use your mouse and keyboard, the new TRAKTOR KONTROL X1, or another MIDI controller — all major controller brands now feature pre-mapped yet fully customizable MIDI assignments for TRAKTOR PRO. You can also upgrade to TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO, and utilize turntables or CD decks to control your setup. An expansion pack for TRAKTOR PRO users includes the timecode contro plug-in, AUDIO 8 DJ interface, Multicore cables and vinyl and CD control discs.
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 is the first official TRAKTOR controller, allowing you to get hands-on with TRAKTOR PRO. Simply connect the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 to a computer running TRAKTOR (or other performance software) and gain instant control of your decks and effect parameters. Robust rotary knobs with a heavy-duty feel and backlit buttons provide precise visual and tactile status feedback- letting you delve deep inside TRAKTOR without having to touch your computer.
PERFECT INTEGRATION with MASCHINE
TRAKTOR works in perfect harmony with the self-contained groovebox and powerful groove production studioMASCHINE. 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.

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 28 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.
New Features in Version 1.1
Auto Sync Mode
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!
