<p><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Kontrol-F11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1844" title="Kontrol F1" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Kontrol-F11.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="194" /></a></p>
<p>The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 DJ Controller is the definitive hardware for controlling the powerful Remix Decks in Traktor Pro 2.5, the flagship DJ software included with the F1. With Traktor Kontrol F1 you can launch clips in a perfectly intuitive, DJ-centric way, control Remix Decks just like regular track decks, switching between up to 64 tracks, loops and one-shot samples on each deck. Get started in seconds! The NI Traktor Kontrol F1 controller includes around 2 GB of premium grade sound, pre-loaded as Remix Sets. Or you can import your own samples, and even capture loops and sounds live, using the controller’s stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders. Expand the creative potential of any Traktor set-up with or without timecode vinyl and transform your DJ set into a dynamic live performance. Best of Both Worlds. The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 workflow is rooted in DJ culture. Remix Sets, made up of your individual loops and sounds, load just like regular tracks in the super-powerful Traktor PRO 2.5 software. And your drum loops, bass lines, percussion, vocals and lead sounds are ready for dropping into your performance. Four volume faders and four dedicated filter knobs provide full sonic access to the Remix Deck slots, and to add more flavor, you can route individual slots through Traktor’s FX units. Scratch your live production via Native Scratch timecode control and then mix and fade into a ‘traditional’ track on another deck – fuse classic DJ workflow with the future of DJing.</p>

</a>Native Instruments brings you TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 – the two deck, all-in-one DJ controller system built to professional standards throughout, and the perfect introduction to the world of TRAKTOR.</p>
<p><strong>DIVE RIGHT INTO THE MIX</strong></p>
<p>TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is the most professional 2-deck controller on the market. With pro credentials throughout, the 2.1 design couples the most essential items for any DJ — 2 decks and a mixer — with controls for multi-effect units and a third channel for samples. Set it up in an instant and dive right into the mix.</p>
<p>Rugged and highly portable, TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is the only controller of its size to come with the full version of TRAKTOR PRO 2 included &#8211; the same software that pro DJs of all genres use. With TRAKTOR 2 Technology Inside, the S2 is tuned for maximum intuitiveness and creativity – resulting in an intensely fluid and fun mixing experience.</p>
<p><strong>PRO SOFTWARE</strong></p>
<p>The included TRAKTOR PRO 2 is the culmination of 10 years of experience as the industry-leading DJ software platform. Its ease-of-use and astounding creative arsenal are built on the concept of TRAKTOR 2 Technology Inside.</p>
<p>TruWave colored waveforms let you see track positions easily, and identify high-energy sections or breakdowns ahead of time &#8211; so you can plan the perfect moment to drop your next track. And with the advanced sync engine, your beat-matching will be locked down every time.</p>
<p><strong>INTUITIVE HARDWARE</strong></p>
<p>This compact and portable unit was built by the same team and with the same components that brought you the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 – the wildly-popular market-leader that revolutionized the all-in-one DJ system. Robust knobs and backlit buttons let you know what’s going on at all times. Two high-quality, pressure-sensitive jog wheels deliver total track control and easy pitch bending and tempo nudging.</p>
<p>TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is the ideal hardware for new DJs who want to access the same great features used by the pros in an easily accessible and focused format.</p>
<p><strong>DANCE FLOOR DOMINATION</strong></p>
<p>There’s no steep learning curve with the S2 – the perfect integration between hardware and software means everything is ready to go, so you can focus on selecting the hottest tracks from your hard drive or iTunes® library. Get deep into the powerful looping features, and use the four dedicated ‘hot-cue’ buttons to effortlessly remix and re-edit tunes on the fly &#8211; all perfectly in time.</p>
<p>The Samples knob lets you mix the eight Sample Deck slots into your mix – either record loops from the playing track or use any of the included sound content. Two flexible FX units give you access to 30 pro effects that automatically sync to tempo, so you can easily stamp your own style on the mix. Welcome to the future of DJing.</p>

<p><strong>Skratchy Seal + Traktor Scratch Time Coded Vinyl (Limited Edition)</strong></p>
<p>SKRATCHY SEAL has finally gone digital!!! This is a LIMITED EDITION  collaboration with Traktor Scratch and Skratchy Seal to bring you the  best of worlds. The first of it’s kind for Traktor users, Traktor  Scratch’s timecode vinyl and timecode CDs contains the industry leading  audio signal constructed from two sinus waves with a frequency of 2 KHz.  Skratchy Seal side features all your favorite skipless scratch samples  when you need to scratch the actual vinyl. It also comes packaged with 1  LIMITED EDITION Traktor Butter Rug for some intense scratching.</p>
<p>VINYL FEATURES:</p>
<p>Side A of the Control Vinyl consists of the following three zones, each with different playback functions:</p>
<p>1. LEAD-IN ZONE – The first few millimeters of the record</p>
<p>Dropping  the needle into the lead Lead-In Zone of the record will skip to the  beginning of the track. Use this to skip back to the beginning of a  track when playing in the Relative Control Reading Mode.</p>
<p>2. PLAYBACK ZONE – Main Body of the record</p>
<p>This  zone is divided into 10 tracks on side A and is used for regular  playback. The divisions are visual markers of time, which do not affect  the continuous playback of the loaded track.</p>
<p>3. SCROLL ZONE – Last two tracks of the record</p>
<p>Dropping  the needle in the Scroll Zone allows you to scroll up and down through  your playlist by manually spinning the record forward or backward. To  play the selected track simply place the needle back into the Playback  Zone.</p>
<p>Side B of the Vinyl Record consists of  SCRATCH SAMPLES and ONE MINUTE of TRAKTOR TIMECODE at the end (Playback Zone only).</p>
<p>This is the perfect DJ record for scratching and mixing in today’s digital world.</p>
<p>Again, this is the first and only Traktor Pressing ever available.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Next Generation Traktor Scratch PRO2</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let’s take a look at what’s new in Traktor 2!</strong></p>
<p><strong>New Waveforms</strong> – One of the major goals in Traktor 2  was to make the Decks in Traktor more visible when performing on stage.  Traktor 2 has adopted a new waveform technology called “TruWave” which  gives you more high-resolution waveforms, and also gives you a deeper  insight into the spectral qualities of the music, allowing you to “see  into the music” more.</p>
<p>There are now four new waveforms in Traktor 2 that you can choose  from. Each of these waveforms can be zoomed in on at sample level  allowing you to set sample accurate beat grid markers and cue points.<br />
I’ve found that through training some of the Traktor Endorsed artists,  every artist has their own personal favorite waveform they like to use.  Here are the different waveforms and a little bit about the advantages  to using each of these waveforms.</p>
<p><strong>Spectrum</strong> – The spectrum waveforms will give you a  detailed colorful overview of your tracks, and will show you what  frequencies are in the track and highlight any percussive elements and  other sonic frequencies as well. The spectrum waveforms are similar to <a href="http://serato.com/scratchlive">Serato Scratch Live’s</a> colored waveforms but are much more detailed. I’ve found Spectrum to be  a favorite among the Hip Hop artists. This is the waveform of choice  for <a href="http://www.djskribble.com/">DJ Skribble</a>.</p>

<p><img src="file:///C:/Users/VENGKA%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Spectrum1.png"></a><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Spectrum11.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1398" title="Spectrum1" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Spectrum11-300x158.png" alt="" width="300" height="158" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Infrared</strong> – Infrared has been one of my personal  favorites. With its Toxic orange glow, this looks amazing on stage. This  is my waveform of choice when using two decks.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infared1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1397" title="Infared" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infared1-300x159.png" alt="" width="300" height="159" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>X-Ray</strong> – X-Ray comes from the <a href="http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-s4/">Traktor S4</a> software, and is a black and white waveform. Out of the Artists I’ve worked with, this is a favorite waveform of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/themartinezbros">The Martinez Brothers</a> since it gives more of a simple “old school” feel to the waveforms.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/XRay1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1399" title="XRay1" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/XRay1-300x118.png" alt="" width="300" height="118" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Ultraviolet</strong> – This is becoming my new favorite waveform when using four decks, and is also the waveform of choice for <a href="http://www.djdavidmorales.com/">David Morales</a>.  Ultraviolet is great for doing 4 deck mixing since there’s not too many  crazy colors but you can still see what’s happening in the track since  this mode still shows the frequencies clearly. Here is a 4 deck view  using Ultraviolet waveforms.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Ultraviolet.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1401" title="Ultraviolet" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Ultraviolet-300x114.png" alt="" width="354" height="179" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">You might notice that in this picture, below the decks you don’t see many  controls. This is because there is now a new waveform view called  “Essential” view, which only shows the basic controls such as Play,  Cue/Cup (or Absolute / Relative Mode) and Loop Length. This is great for  DJs who like to keep it simple, or for DJs who know what’s going on in  the software based on their MIDI controller and don’t need to see  everything in the software.  There are also some other new Deck Views  that are worth noting:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MICRO1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1402" title="MICRO1" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MICRO1-300x37.png" alt="" width="300" height="37" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Micro</strong> – Only the “Stripe” is showing (Similar to a CDJ waveform display)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Small.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1403" title="Small" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Small-300x82.png" alt="" width="300" height="82" /></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Small </strong>– Only the looping buttons and play button are showing, along with a bigger overview of the waveform.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Full.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1404" title="Full" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Full-300x137.png" alt="" width="300" height="137" /></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Full</strong> – Both waveforms are shown, showing the overview of  the track (aka the “Stripe”) and the more zoomed in version of the  waveform is showing, showing a zoomed in view of where you are in the  track. Also the loop buttons and transport buttons (play / cue / cup /  absolute mode / relative mode) are shown.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Advanced.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1406" title="Advanced" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Advanced-300x163.png" alt="" width="300" height="163" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Advanced</strong> – This shows everything that is shown in  Full mode, except the “Advanced” panel has been added which gives you  more control over your cue points, loop manipulation, and has a  beatgridding section as well.</p>
<p>Another cool feature in Traktor 2 is the different “Grid Modes”. The  Grid lines in Traktor are the white lines that show every beat or  transient (kicks, snares etc) in the track. You can choose if you want  to see these lines or not. There are three different Grid Modes: Full,  Dim, Ticks and Invisible. Here is a picture of the “Tick” mode.</p>
<p><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/TICKS.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1407" title="TICKS" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/TICKS-300x51.png" alt="" width="300" height="51" /></a></p>
<p>Another improvement in regards to cue points is the option to “Store  Beatmarker as Hotcue.” A lot of Traktor artists that I train do  beatgrids and load markers for every track they play. The problem is  that a lot of the time, the beatmarker and load marker usually fall on  the same beat.</p>
<p>With the “Store Beatmarker as Hotcue” turned off, the beatmarker no  longer takes up an extra hotcue slot, so you can have a beat marker and  load marker or cue point all on the same beat without taking up two  hotcue slots in your cue section.</p>
<p><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/StoreBeatmarkerHotcue.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1408" title="StoreBeatmarkerHotcue" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/StoreBeatmarkerHotcue.png" alt="" width="245" height="16" /></a></p>
<p>Another new edition to the Decks in Traktor Scratch Pro 2 is the new  “Scope Views.” The “Scope” is where you can see a visual picture of the  timecode signal coming from your turntable or CDJ. It is very handy for  troubleshooting since it will tell you if you if an RCA cable isn’t  plugged in, if your needle is dusty, or if you are in the wrong input  mode in the Traktor software. The new Scope in Traktor 2 is a lot cooler  looking than its predecessor.  Here is a look at the new scopes.</p>
<p><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SCOPE1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1409" title="SCOPE1" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SCOPE1-300x150.png" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>You can additionally minimize the scope by clicking on the little arrow inside the scope record to show more of the waveform.</p>
<p>One of my favorite new features, and probably the most significant  update in Traktor Pro 2 is the new syncing ability when using  timecode. In previous versions of Traktor it was not possible to keep  sync on permanently when using timecode CDs on Vinyl due to the nature  of a turntables constantly fluctuating in pitch. Traktor now has a new  “Soft-Sync” feature that allows you to keep sync permanently on when  using timecode, and Traktor will keep the BPM’s permanently Sync’d for  all of the decks without syncing the phase.</p>
<p>With the new Audio 10 DJ, which has 4 phono preamps, you can now mix 4  Traktor Decks using 4 Turntables and play all 4 turntables in perfect  sync all night without even having to set beatgrids for your tracks! You  would simply turn the sync button on for all 4 decks and the BPM’s  would be matched automatically for you all night. All you would have to  do is nudge the platter of the turntable until the beats are locked and  they will never go off beat!<br />
Another handy feature as far as the Syncing goes, is the option to “Sync  Phase when exiting loop.” This comes in handy if you are using small  loops that are under 1 beat in length. When you are looping at these  small lengths, the deck might temporarily go out of sync, but as soon as  you turn the loop off, this setting will turn the sync back on, and  everything will re-allign.</p>
<p><a href="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SYNC-PHASE.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1410" title="SYNC-PHASE" src="http://soundkontrols.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SYNC-PHASE.png" alt="" width="250" height="18" /></a></p>
<p>One thing that might have thrown Traktor users for a loop (no pun  intended) when Traktor S4 was released was the new Sample Decks and Loop  Recorder. One question on the mind of all Traktor users was “If I don’t  have the Traktor S4 hardware and software, when will I be able to use  the loop recorder and sample decks? Well, now your prayers have all been  answered! Traktor 2 now features the powerful new Sample Decks and Loop  Recorder. There is actually a very cool sample deck mapping for the  Traktor Kontrol X1 that you can download here =&gt;  http://djendo.com/Traktor2/</p>
<p>Here are some tutorials on how to use the Sample Decks and Loop Recorder:</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Traktor Scratch PRO2 Snap, Quantize &amp; Loop Recorder</strong></p>
<p>In Traktor 2, you can turn any of the 4 decks into Sample Decks or  even use them as “Live Inputs,” which allows you to play actual CDs or  Vinyl records through that Deck. To do this, you would just click on the  letter inside the deck and use the drop down menu and choose what kind  of deck you want to use, and if that deck is going to be controlled by  timecode or not.</p>
<p>Speaking of Routing Audio, one of my favorite features is that you  can now combine multiple decks into one output. So for example, you  could run the Preview Deck through the same channel as Deck D. This is  useful if you want to use the preview Deck but also want to have the  option to use a 4th deck out of the same channel.</p>
<p>Last but not least, Traktor 2 comes with 4 new effects to allow you  to tweak your tracks out to the max! The new effects are Tape Delay,  Ramp Delay, Bouncer and Auto Bouncer.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TRAKTOR AUDIO 10</strong></p>
<p><em><br />
The Beating Heart of Sound</em></p>
<p>This powerhouse unit sets the new benchmark for DJ audio interfaces.  The successor of the highly acclaimed AUDIO 8 DJ has been carefully  refined, now achieving a new level in connectivity and performance. With  ten inputs, ten outputs, four phono preamps, MIDI I/O and mic input,  TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 will satisfy even the most demanding DJs.</p>
<p>This premium DJ audio interface is built on the established and  award-winning design of NI audio and hardware gear: Extra-robust metal  casing, high-end Cirrus-Logic® AD/DA converters, brand-new chip  technology and completely revised driver architecture ensure top sound  quality and low latency for professional use on stage and in the studio.</p>
<p><em>Ultimate Connectivity</em></p>
<p>Even when routing four separate stereo outputs to a 4-channel mixer,  there&#8217;s still an additional output for various purposes. The additional  stereo input makes working with a send FX chain on your external mixer  easy: Use each TRAKTOR effect like it was a separate FX unit in your  studio. Furthermore, the extra inputs and outputs offer yet more  flexibility if you’re DJing with TRAKTOR’s Sample Decks and Loop  Recorder.</p>
<p>The built in MIDI interface makes it possible to tempo-sync other music  equipment like external drum machines, synthesizers or another computer  with the tempo of your tracks. And thanks to its 4 phono preamps,  TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 allows to connect four turntables simultaneously.</p>
<p><em><br />
Installation Friendly</em></p>
<p>Besides premium sound quality, low-latency and ultimate connectivity,  this interface also boasts many other advanced features specifically  designed for club use:</p>
<p>The convenient status LEDs on the upper panel give instant visual  feedback on input and output activity, so you know if your setup is  hooked up and working correctly. Now it’s also possible to run the  TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 via its power supply only, as a Direct Thru unit. This  means the soundcard is capable of passing through a signal from other  equipment (turntables / CD players) without being connected to your  computer – so switching between DJs or different setups is finally made  simple &#8211; perfect for permanent club installations.</p>
<p><em>Included Software</em></p>
<p>TRAKTOR LE 2<br />
This DJ software provides two playback decks to spin tracks directly  from your hard drive, with full iTunes® integration and iPod®  compatibility.</p>
<p>The new TruWave colored waveforms and amazing beat-sync functions make  it simple to use the advanced looping, cueing and effects – so go beyond  ordinary mixing.</p>
