Traktor Pro 3.0 ? [The Speculation Thread]

[city_boy07]

So with the X1 mk2, S4 mk2 and now Maschine Studio and Maschine 2.0 (software)....

Do we anticipate/expect Traktor pro/scratch pro 3.0 soon...

I hope they do and haven't forgotten about traktor, I do also feel its due a big upgrade soon whereas the mk2 Maschine are only a year old...

Idk, anything can happen.

Just kindly update the modifiers and we'll invent all the new features by ourself

Speak for yourself stewe were not all mapping gods like yourself...

Just hoping for the grids to be elastic that's all I really want! Maybe native Maschine support too

Guess we will have to wait some time for Traktor 3.0. NI wouldn't release their software and controllers with such a small time difference in between. We can only suspect if they'll match the software with refreshments of the existing hardware or introduce brand new stuff (S5/S6?), but either way it will take some time. I guess by now, they have a pretty good foundation of the next big Traktor release, but yet have to make some improvements and just wait until the market's ready.
I bet we'll at least see the 2.7 branch being released with some pretty cool features that could enhance the existing controllers (more touch strip functionality for the X1 MK2, some feature that may only be used with the S2/S4 MK2 ?).
After all, I think we won't have to wait that long in 2014. My bet for the next flagship controller are, like I assumed before, (touch) displays that are integrated into the controller and maybe even USB flash drive support (controller and iPad have been moved together, next step would be DJing without a wired external device).

doesn't traktor 3 already exist on mac? Isn't it really old though?

I think that OP title refers to Pro 3.

+1000!
It would be great to grid all of those old tracks with live drummers.

Thread title changed for version clarity (and description).

I posted this earlier in the comment thread of the Digital DJ Tips article about the Maschine Studio.

"I predict that around the 2014 NAMM show we will see Traktor 3 announced with the Z4 mixer and a single deck controller (with these screens, among other features) obviously designed to replace the CDJ and DJM and will likely work without the computer, possibly using something similar to Rekordbox. The software will also include features from the iPad app like x/y effects and freeze mode and integration with the Maschine 2.0 software/hardware. we might also see changes to the controller editor including the ability to order commands into a sequence and additional modifiers and conditions.

Not all of these predictions may come true but I suspect that NI will probably announce something at the next NAMM show Traktor related."

Also Elastic beatgridding would be great and maybe even an inbuilt warping engine like Ableton has. I guess we'll have to wait until Janurary (If not later)
