I'd like to see Traktor have the ability to host plugins, without having to route audio internally through a DAW, with the ability to assign midi control to certain parameters in the plugins.
Just a thought.

You can always route Traktor into Ableton, thats the way i use it!!!!!!

It's a stability thing. If you allow users to use VSTs, you give them the ability to royally screw up their setup if they're not careful. A dodgy VST can crash traktor and then NI is inundated with complaints totally unrelated to their software.
It would be really cool if you could use VSTs in traktor, but I think NI would worry that enough people would misuse it and complain, denting NI's reputation for stability.

Free Host for VST + traktor:
http://digitaldjtools.net/tools/stompy/
What is Stompy?
Stompy is a free VST host for Mac which allows you load either a VST Effect or a VST Instrument. It has four audio inputs so that you can route any of Traktor’s decks to your VST effect. The parameters of the effect can all be mapped quickly and easily to any hardware MIDI controller and the BPM of the effect is synced to Traktor’s BPM. Stompy can also host VST Instruments which can be routed through, and BPM-synced to, Traktor. You can then use Traktor’s in-built effects to further modify the sound.
Although designed to work with Traktor, you can still use Stompy as a standalone VST host.
Features:
- Apply VST effects to Mic input, Line in or to any software that allows you to choose an audio out device
- Add VST effects to any or all of Traktor’s decks (Soundflower required)
- Syncs to MIDI Clock & Traktor’s BPM for delay / glitch / time-based FX
- Instantly map VST parameters to any MIDI controller
- Store your favourite controllers / VST parameters as presets
- Route VST instruments through Traktor’s live input and sync these to Traktor’s BPM
- TouchOSC and Lemur layouts included so you can control your VST with your iPad
It's not rocket science to host plug-ins in another process, Logic does this already in 32-bit mode and Bitwig supposedly has this feature (Live does not which is bizarre as Live is a live instrument.) Anyway, with this in place the plug-ins could crash and it does not matter.
I wish I could hook PSP VintageWarmer into Traktor's output chain without all kinds of Soundflower/JackOS hacks...
