The Traktor F1 & 2.5 Thread

[Tha Gooch]

Greg Nice! Wish he would've dropped a few verses, oh well. I'm prolly gonna ditch the APC20 and LPD8 when this drops.

Could someone explain the punch feature, still confused as to what that's doing, also can you have 64 clips playinh from one remix deck? Or as you switch pages will it kill whatever clips you have going?

For including TP 2.5 $250 is a nice deal, but it pretty much screws all their existing customers. Sure, I could sell my current TSP2 license, buy the F1 and buy the TSP2 upgrade, but that doesn't really make sense. Cashback for registered licenses, maybe?

When you hit punch it plays in time with the track. Kind of like a quantize I think.

Something like this also defeats the purpose of maschine and traktor integration in the future, why have 2 programs running hen you can just do some loops in maschine and drag and drop them into traktor.

I don't think the grids are variable chaps! It says they take the track's 'average'...

Maybe a hardware only version? meh doubt it,
was the same with the S4, buy the S4 sell the license.

Didn't like it with the S4 either, but at least the S4 was a more or less complete package. F1 however is clearly meant as an add-on, so including a full software package doesn't really make sense to me.

What's new Since TP2

Remix Decks are the latest TRAKTOR innovation, letting you select from up to 64 loops and one-shot samples per deck. Any of the four decks in TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 can be switched to be a Remix Deck
Each Remix Deck offers four different Slots (columns), ideal for arranging sounds and loops by instrument groups e.g. different drum, bass, percussion loops. Play one sound per column - a total of four samples at any one time.
Use loops from the included sound content or import any loops and sounds of your own
Develop your own unique trademark sound and build a personal arsenal of sounds by live-capturing your favorite loops while DJing

The stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders make TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 the ultimate controller for a Remix Deck. Any sound or loop can be assigned a specific RGB color, either in the software or via the controller
A Remix Set™ is the combination of 64 loops and one-shot samples and their respective beat grids and BPMs - stored and loaded just like a regular track in the browser
Control the entire Remix Deck via Native Scratch timecode control with vinyl or CDs - or scratch using the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4/S2 jog wheels. Each Remix Deck has its own transport, sync, and tempo master controls

To add more flavor you can choose which slots are fed through TRAKTOR’s FX units, or even play samples in reverse
The Punch mode allows for instant switching between different loops in one instrument group, in perfect phase - switch from one drum loop to the next exactly on the 2 and 4 snares
Additionally, the Remix Deck quantize can be set to different values for full control of the musical phrasing

Rewritten tempo detection for improved accuracy, developed from analysing thousands of tracks from various genres
New “downbeat” auto-detection improves auto-beat-gridding and phase recognition
Convenient analysis options when importing files to your collection - set the tempo range by BPM
Much improved BPM detection on tracks with variable tempo, (such as “live” drummer genres) - now detects average BPM
Rewritten Tempo-Tap – instant and simple realignment anytime your tracks drifts away from the grid over time
Manually adjusted grids, (and all BPM-locked tracks) keep their position and tempo from previous versions
