Traktor Kontrol Z2 DJ-Mixer/Controller

Product Information

OK, so having got to the point where we’re all working, something simple to start with: The standalone mixer.

While TRAKTOR PRO 3 is made for our TRAKTOR KONTROL series, it also syncs seamlessly with other DJ equipment and software through MIDI and Ableton Link. Expand your setup with any controller, using TRAKTOR’s modular design, or link directly to Ableton Live to create unique workflows that push your creativity to new heights. Direct: Sets the corresponding control to a defined value. Set this value by changing the Set to value field in the Button Options section. For example, assign a V olume Adjust control to a button. Set the Interaction mode to Direct and define a specific volume level under Set to value. Hitting the button will now always force the Volume Fader to jump to the specified value. For example, if you set the value to 1.000, the button will fully punch a channel into the mix with a single press. Nowadays the safest bet is Pioneer or Numark but at the same time AS transition is showing how wrong was x86 dependency on djing field with apps like Djay Pro getting all the features at the palm of your hand meanwhile desktop can follow the development of drivers and only Vdj catching the wave… The currently selected assignment in the Assignment Table will be highlighted in yellow. If there is another Control in the list which has the same source assigned in the Mapped to column as the selected assignment, this will be highlighted as well in a darker yellow. This feature is useful for debugging large mapping lists. Device Mapping

Generic MIDI: Creates an empty mapping for assigning your hardware MIDI controller to control TRAKTOR. The Z2 offers comprehensive connectivity designed for diverse DJ setups. Four analog inputs with phono and mic preamps allow for connecting turntables, CDJs, and other gear. Note: Please refer to the documentation of your MIDI controller for a reference list of the MIDI Control Change and Note numbers associated with the control elements. In most cases, these are the same for input and output messages, however in some cases a control element may send out a different message than the associated LED is configured to receive. This depends on the manufacturer's specification of the hardware and drivers. Edit...: This opens a drop-down menu with editing functions for the currently selected mapping in the Device list. Export: Allows to store the currently selected mapping as a file on your hard disk in a user-defined location. The mapping file has the extension '.tsi'.

First make sure that all the components on the software mixer are disabled and set to the middle position so the audio signal can pass through it unaffected. Interaction Mode: The options available for the Interaction Mode will vary depending on both the Type of Controller as well as the control target of the currently selected assignment. For example, the Interaction Modes for the Play/Pause control (with Button set as the Type of Controller) are Toggle, Hold and Direct. The Interaction Modes for the Tempo control (with Button set as the Type of Controller) are Direct, Inc, Dec and Reset. The 48KHz audio interface is blazingly fast, and after speaking with many other scratch DJs there seems to be a general consensus – and as this is anecdotal please take it as such with the knowledge that we’re all prone to persuading ourselves things are true from time to time – that the Kontrol Z2’s method of controlling Traktor’s internal mixer actually makes scratching with DVS feel tighter as the small amount of latency added to the fader puts cutting more in sync with the software translated record movements. Feel In the lower section of the Mapping Details you can find the following important settings. These determine how the control element on your device interacts with the function in TRAKTOR it is assigned to. Integrate multiple TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 and X1 controllers with plug-and-play simplicity thanks to the Z2’s USB hub, freeing up additional ports on your laptop.
