Who thinks we'll see Traktor Pro 3 soon?

As a computer science guy, I like the idea of a mapping language a lot...specially if it allows the creation of user-made MacroFx etc. But I just don't see NI going this route.

They've pretty much said straight up that they have no interest in improving the mapping interface. I'd love to hear that this has changed but until then I don't have much hope for better mapping, and certainly not a mapping language.

Traktor by far has the best mapping interface.... for advanced users. Even to map simple controls in midi mode to my F1 can take an afternoon to troubleshoot and make sure nothing is interfering with each other. I see no reason why they can't allow mapping in the GUI. For example, right click the play button, assign midi, press button and controller and like that you're done. Any modifiers and additional things could be dealt with in the existing mapping interface.

EDIT: Deflated: You can suck the life right out of a track with the key knob... let me revise my request - key change with a huge range that doesn't sound thin

Not really possible regardless of what you use, what you are basically doing when you change key is cutting the track up into small segments and stretching them out or compressing them together to change the pitch....

better mapping interface that will work something like ableton - just hit the button/ knob on screen and then on hardware
also unlocking to map the remix decks
probably an official way to connect traktor with maschine
also being able to have another 2 decks, hiding in the background, maybe for live input or something like that, would be awesome, cos we all run out of decks sometimes

This is not true. With the release of the F1 and the uproar of users who wanted the mix deck cells all mappable, NI also said to their answer, "we'll unlock them sooner or later" that they are very much looking into improving the mapping system in a future release. If I can find the blog post, I'll link it.

Edit: Got it.

When pressed for more details about the release of the update to the controller window (which this community has been requesting for years now) we were told:

“Now is basically the right time to have that discussion [build the open API] … for now we need to create the new controls, test and implement them. We are definitely looking into this.”

^ It would be awesome if they had a CDJ style controller that could connect with your laptop over wifi or USB that showed track decks as the display and could switch to decks 3 & 4 on each controller. I still like the idea of having an external mixer and controllers separate. Another idea would be a cdj style controller with Traktor software built in so all you needed was a usb. I know it sounds like Rekord box but a Traktor version with 2 decks on each would be so good.

This is probably one of the first things I would like. A CDJ style without the cd player but that won't be interesting until pioneer does it.

More mapping options. Why isn't traktor sending by midi the track info? It would be really easier for hardware developers to get a screen on their controllers!

Level of customization! I can't just say this enough. Traktor should be modulized. I guess that Traktor is using already a good development pattern and who knows oop based so... Why can't it be modulized? Why should it be? The less modules active the less power the computer needs, the more stability and better interface. There is so much thing about Traktor interface, for my usage, that don't make sense to have and then the stability / performance matter. It runs just fine and stable now but it could be better! Why can't I have big time info on the track for example? Customization customization customization!

If I had a good C++ developer interested I would make a new software. NI is forgetting some users and usages of Traktor.

CDJ 850 HID integration.

I'm sick of waiting. Leaning more towards the thought that it's never going to happen.

Thanks for the link - good to hear. I pretty much stopped paying attention to what NI was saying after the whole F1 fiasco so I missed this. It would be great to see improvements in mapping controllers, and that might be the one feature I'd pay money for in a new release. Other things, like more flexible beat gridding, would be great improvements as well, but as far as I'm concerned making the controller manager more usable is the killer feature that Traktor has been missing for way too long.

They gave us a resizable window - what more do you want???
