Description
Traktor Pro sets the standard for power, reliability, and creativity in DJing. The culmination of years of DJ software development, Traktor Pro has been designed to perfectly meet professional DJs’ needs. Incorporating streamlined industry-standard workflows, 21 creative new effects, pre-assigned yet flexible MIDI mapping of all major controllers on the market, premium sound quality and up to four playback decks, Traktor Pro redefines the art of DJing.
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 new Sync Lock function ensures that beat-matched tracks never drift out of time. Intelligent loop and cue functions let you easily deconstruct and remix tracks on the fly, while the master tempo detection allows you to play with four decks and FX all sync’d automatically.
Each of the four decks integrates legendary Allen & Heath™ Xone: 92™ 4-band EQ and filters, giving you full control of the entire frequency spectrum. For more drastic sound transformation, the incredible Traktor Pro effects suite contains 21 effects chainable in groups of up to six at a time and controllable in either "easy" or "pro" mode. Everything from studio-quality delay and reverb to unique tempo sync’d performance effects such as IceVerb, Bitcrusher, Ring Modulator and Reverse Grain are included, all built with Native Instruments’ groundbreaking REAKTOR technology.
Designed for the toughest of club environments and with detailed input from professional touring DJs, Traktor Pro now features a user interface that truly excels in its simplicity, functionally and practicality.
