The new Traktor Pro 2.8.0 update is now released and with it comes support for the new Traktor Kontrol D2, support for the new Rane MP2015 Mixer, 64-Bit Architecture, and a host of other improvements. The Pioneer XDJ-1000 and CDJ-900NXS players also receive full HID support. The Traktor Kontrol D2 is the new controller which is almost like a full deck version of the Traktor Kontrol S8 without the internal mixer. The Traktor Pro 2.8.0 update adds support for this new NI controller along with full support for the Pioneer XDJ-1000 and CDJ-900NXS mutli-media players. This means users can now connect a USB cable to these particular Pioneer decks for full Traktor Software control. The new Rane MP2015 Rotary Mixer is now also Traktor Scratch Certified meaning users can connect CD decks and turntables using timecode for full Digital Vinyl Playback without the use of an NI soundcard.

The Traktor Software Engine also gets a lot of improvements that DJ's have been asking for. Traktor 2.8.0 can finally run in real 64-bit architecture mode along with multi-processor enhancements to make everything run smoother, faster, and more efficient. In order to download the update, simply open the NI Service Center on your computer or log into the NI website with your username and download the update from there.

The new Traktor Pro 2.7.0 update is now released and with it comes support for the new Traktor Kontrol S8, the ability to use MK1 or MK2 Traktor timecode vinyl for DVS users, and a host of other improvements. The new Freeze/Slicer mode which was a huge hit on the Traktor DJ App is now available in Traktor 2.7.0 and it can be MIDI mapped to any controller the user sees fit.

All of the new functions that Native Instruments teased with the new Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer is now available for free download to existing Traktor Pro users in the form of a 2.6 update. The new features include Macro FX which lets you combine multiple effects into one powerful effect and the new FLUX mode which is basically the same as the Pioneer or Denon "slip-mode". Check out the press release then head over to your NI Service Center to download your upgrade ASAP.

The Traktor Pro 2.6.4 update is out now via the NI Service Center. This update is free to all TRAKTOR PRO 2 users and it now adds support for the redesigned Traktor Kontrol S2/S4 controllers. This update also includes better cueing and looping with CD timecode and improved hot cue reliability in timecode mode.

Native Instruments has just released the newest update for all Traktor Pro users called the Traktor PRO 2.5.1. This new update is BIG news for all Pioneer CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 owners since this iteration will include native support and HID integration to work very nicely with Traktor Pro. Other users will find lots of other small improvements that will make everything flow and run smoother. One of my favorites is that the F1 one-shot samples will now automatically play in Non-Quantized mode. Check out the full list of updates inside, then head over to your Service Center to download the update.

The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 DJ controller has now officially been announced and all the details have been released by the NI team. The S8 was already teased and leaked about a month ago, but with little details. We now know that the Kontrol S8 will operate as a completely Stand-Alone 4-channel mixer, it has touch sensitive knobs, high quality user-replaceable faders, and dual high resolution screens for all the Traktor information one could need.

The new version of Traktor is now available. The new Traktor 2.10 update provides support for the newly announced Traktor Kontrol S5 and it also includes the required Controller Editor update for the S5. There's the normal housekeeping items and bug fixes as well. Check out the details after the jump.

While I was sick to the stomach for days on end last week, Native Instruments decided it would be the perfect time to release the details of the newly teased Traktor Mixer that everyone is dying to learn more about. Now that I'm (almost) back to form and playing catchup, I'll go over a few of the details with you on the brand new 2+2 Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer, show you the new Ean Golden Demo video, and give you some additional links for more resources until we get our Review unit in the Lab for our notoriously detailed video reviews. Check it out after the jump.

The new Traktor Kontrol Aluminum stand that brings the Traktor Kontrol F1 and X1 up to industry-standard Mixer/Deck Height is now available for sale anywhere Traktor Products are sold. The Traktor Kontrol Stand is a solid and non-slip extension that raises the Traktor Kontrol unit to the height of the Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer and other DJ gear. The cover also keeps the hardware safe during transport. The new stand is available for $59 and can be obtained directly through NI via the links and press release inside.
