May 26th, 2012Innovative Remix Decks:
· Remix Decks are the latest TRAKTOR innovation, letting you select from up to 64 loops and one-shot samples per deck. Any of the four decks in TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 can be switched to be a Remix Deck
· Each Remix Deck offers four different Slots (columns), ideal for arranging sounds and loops by instrument groups e.g. different drum, bass, percussion loops. Play one sound per column - a total of four samples at any one time.
· Use loops from the included sound content or import any loops and sounds of your own
· Develop your own unique trademark sound and build a personal arsenal of sounds by live-capturing your favorite loops while DJing
A new way to perform:
· The stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders make TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 the ultimate controller for a Remix Deck. Any sound or loop can be assigned a specific RGB color, either in the software or via the controller
· A Remix Set™ is the combination of 64 loops and one-shot samples and their respective beat grids and BPMs - stored and loaded just like a regular track in the browser
· Control the entire Remix Deck via Native Scratch timecode control with vinyl or CDs - or scratch using the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4/S2 jog wheels. Each Remix Deck has its own transport, sync, and tempo master controls
Deep control:
· To add more flavor, you can choose which slots are fed through TRAKTOR’s FX units, or even play samples in reverse
· The Punch mode allows for instant switching between different loops in one instrument group, in perfect phase - switch from one drum loop to the next exactly on the 2 and 4 snares
· Additionally, the Remix Deck quantize can be set to different values for full control of the musical phrasing
Improved BPM detection:
· Rewritten tempo detection for improved accuracy, developed from analysing thousands of tracks from various genres
· New “downbeat” auto-detection improves auto-beat-gridding and phase recognition
· Convenient analysis options when importing files to your collection - set the tempo range by BPM
· Much improved BPM detection on tracks with variable tempo, (such as “live” drummer genres) - now detects average BPM
· Rewritten Tempo-Tap – instant and simple realignment anytime your tracks drifts away from the grid over time
· Manually adjusted grids, (and all BPM-locked tracks) keep their position and tempo from previous versions
New browser features:
· All contents and settings of a Remix Deck can be saved and reloaded as “Remix Sets”, managed in the Browser as a single entry
· Sounds and loops are contained in the Remix Sets’ .trak format for super-convenient file handling across computers
· The state of browser tree is recalled from previous session when starting TRAKTOR
· Importing another collection now preserves favorites
Additional features:
· Now features Jogweel and Joglight advanced HID integration for Pioneer CDJ-2000, CDJ-900 and CDJ-400
· S4/S2 Sample Deck slot functionality is now mapped to Remix Deck functionality
· The S4 channel filter curves have been shaped for smoother transitions around the neutral position
December 12th, 2011Optimized user interface + Truwave:
With an easy on the eye interface, including Essential View and the new TruWave hi-res colored waveforms, TRAKTOR software is now easier to use than ever:
· TruWave waveforms offer a whole new dimension to your mix - differentiate between kicks, hi-hats and snares and anticipate your mix
· Thanks to various zoom levels, set up tighter cue points than ever before
· The overview of the whole track (“stripe”) clearly displays the track’s arrangement with full detail
· New layouts, including Essential View for maximum ease-of-use when using TRAKTOR with external mixer and controller(s)
Sample Decks:
With the innovative Sample Decks containing four slots each, you can enter the world of live remixing and editing in ways unimaginable before:
· Grab and layer your own loops or use the included loop content. Create one-shot samples or use the included DJ Craze scratch sounds
· Grab loops live out of a running deck, store your favorites in the loop library, and develop your own arsenal of beats and sounds
· Layer up loops in perfect sync with the decks
· Tweak the volume and filter for each Sample Deck slot separately
· 2 different sizes for the Sample Decks; each of the 4 decks can be switched from track deck to Sample Deck and vice versa, on the fly
New effects:
· TRAKTORadds 4 stunning, much–requested new effects, taking the total to 32, all syncing to track or master tempo.
· Tape Delay, Ramp Delay, Bouncer and Auto Bouncer join the arsenal of professional DJ effects, taking the potential for sound mangling to the extreme
· With a multi-channel audio interface such as the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 you can now use TRAKTOR effects as an independent send / receive effects unit
Included loop content:
· TRAKTOR software includes amazing loops and sounds from in-demand sound providers for use with the new Sample Decks.
· 40 original loops and 10 full tracks drawn from Loopmasters’ new DJ Mixtools series, plus additional scratch sounds by DMC Champ DJ Craze
· Drum, bass, percussion and synth loop in dubstep, minimal, house, techno and trance styles
· Grab loops from any playing track in seconds, and save them in the loop library
Loop Recorder:
· With the brand-new Loop Recorder in TRAKTOR, you can record live loops from any channel (single or multiple), the live input feeds, or the master output.
· Trigger the recording using a foot pedal, a DJ controller such as TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 or a keyboard hot key
· Overdub on top of the running loop in real time, creating additional layers and heightening dramatic FX buildups and peaks
· Works like a 5th deck. You can transfer the layered loop into a Sample Deck slot instantly, freeing up the Loop Recorder for further use
