Turntables

The Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro Digital Vinyl DJ System is one of the best, if not the best, DVS solutions on the market today. I've been reviewing a lot of these DVS setups as of late, but one thing we often forget to mention is that if you are using the DVS with actual vinyl turntables, then you will eventually need to purchase new stylus and digital control vinyl as these will wear out with continuous use. Traktor offers their Digital control vinyl in many different colors to fit every DJ's needs. Check out my quick feature video of my new white Traktor Control Vinyl inside.

For all the DJ's out there using the World's Number One rated DJ software, Traktor Scratch, you can now rock the show with the new Fluorescent Control Vinyl Colors which are now available for sale at your local Native Instruments supplier.

This is only a limited-time offer, so if you want a set of these crazy colors, then you better act fast!

The new Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 has now shipped from Native Instruments to our very own DJbooth.net lab for the full written and video review treatment. The new Traktor X1 has most of the same functions as the original X1 but adds a new touch-strip section in the middle of the unit that can control effects parameters, nudging for beatmatching, and for jumping to a particular section in a song. The review is on the way, but watch the unboxing video to see the new X1 MK2 fresh out of the box.

DJ Unkut, the 2011 DMC Online Turntablist Champion, is in the DJbooth in this demo video showing off the next step in Traktor Scratch performance: Native Scratch Technology. All of the new scratch products by NI will contain the Native Scratch Technology that delivers super-accurate performance through the MK2 timecode for an authentic vinyl feel. In this video DJ Unkut goes all out showing his scratching, drumming, and controllerism skills to the ultimate test. Check out the full Video Demo after the jump.

Qbert and DJ Craze are two of my personal favorite DJ's in the whole wide world. They have been killing the scratch/turntablist game for years and years and they both hold three DMC World titles each. Native Instruments has teamed up with Qbert and DJ Craze to bring an excellent Limited Edition Traktor Control Vinyl Set with exclusive sounds on side A (one with samples from Qbert and one with beats by Craze) and Traktor Scratch timecode on side B. Check out the details and links to get your set after the jump.

Last week, (only a day after the Traktor Z1 was announced) the popular DJ Equipment website PSSL accidentally posted a new product by Native Instruments which appears to be the Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2. The original Traktor Kontrol X1 came out a few years ago and is commonly used by Traktor DJ's as a playback companion controller with DVS setups or other mixing consoles. The updated X1 has most of the same functions as the original with a few new additions including RGB backlit buttons for Remix Deck control, Flux Mode buttons, a Touch Sensitive Strip for beatmatching/nudging and much more.

The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK2 and S4 MK2 Digital DJ controllers were just released to the public last week and we've got review units in the lab for full out video and written reviews. The new controllers boast improvements to the original designs by adding multi-color hotcue/remix deck pads, hi-res aluminum metal plate jog wheels, FLUX mode buttons, and Traktor DJ iOS compatibility. The original S2 and S4 DJ controllers were the perfect 2-channel and 4-channel mixing consoles for the Traktor software. The Traktor software has seen lots of new updates since the release of the original S2 /S4 so it's only natural that NI releases new controller interfaces to access the new advanced features such as remix decks controls and FLUX mode. We'll have the full reviews completed shortly, but check out our unboxing & first impressions videos in the meantime to see what comes in the boxes.
