Adding Effects to Vinyl With Ableton on the Traktor Kontrol Z2

[ClaytontheChemist]

My only gripe about the Z2 is that you can't effect vinyl through Traktor's effects. Hopefully they add that capability in the future. In the meantime, I set up something with Ableton Live, that is controlled by the Z2 in MIDI mode (Shift + Setup/Gear). I don't think it's possible to have Traktor going, and effected vinyl going at the exact same time, since the Z2 needs to be in MIDI mode, but I welcome people's experiments.

I really just use Delay and Reverb, so that's all I have set up, but Tarekith, tarekith.com has made an Ableton set of DJ effects, that's where I got the one-knob filter that emulates Traktor's. Download links below the pic.

I had seen that before, but wasn't able to set the deck into Live Mode. I figured out you have to enable the deck, and then press Shift + Traktor button to put in Live Mode. Good call!
