Maschine Mikro - Updated

Komplete Kontrol A-Series - no screens, better price in 25/49/61 variants

A bit torn now between keeping the S5 & D2's or getting the new S4 ... or wait for a possible D2 upgrade with platters!

Fucking finally - some news!!!

Weak news for Software users... :cursing:

The new S4 looks amazing!

Seems like they basically want us to pay for a new Traktor skin?

I'll be waiting to pull the trigger on that upgrade until there's something more substantive than a few minor features that would normally be in a free update.

Per DJWorx, DVS can also be used with any Audio interface. So, you are paying $50 to use it everywhere for DVS

As the DJWORX article mentions there are other new features, some of which I posted back in April. But it's still not the promised full rewrite.

I thought I read (I might be wrong) that Traktor Pro 3 is NOT the new Traktor.

That’s coming later.

I found DJWorx has the most information on the software side of TK3.
https://djworx.com/traktor-scratch-i...traktor-pro-3/

Traktor-3 highlights for me:
- Preferences window:
- they finally fixed the preferences delay when having many mappings. This alone will have me paying the 50eur upgrade.
- Mixer FX:
- finally macroFX are elevated to a firdt class citizen. Just like pioneer colorFX.
- Its crucial that they have their own dedicated FX units.
- about macroFX, please see at 2:10 of this video for my efforts: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/8671
- Different types of DJs (namely mobile):
"Every person reading this article right now is represented by someone in the closed beta circle."
the incredible amount of constructive back-and-forth on the secret portion of the NI forums"

unknown:
- Video
- Library improvements

unclear/other:
- Elastic beatgrids: "Elastique 3 (...) It’d be nice if this allowed for variable tempo in tracks, but it’s not to be quite yet"
- "Choose from eight FX and three filter types to assign to four hardware FX slots"
- "Windows 10 (latest update, 64-bit)" << only!

Buy for cheap the old TTM57 that Serato users cannot use in SDJ and use it with TP3. Nice

I read the same thing, personally I think this version should still be a free upgrade and I’d happily pay for the real Traktor 3. This is a cop out. Also can we use XDJ1000 mk2 now?
