No other controllers are supported and no custom midi mappings can be made even with supported controllers.

what?!?! :eek:

but you can use those controllers with traktor though, yeah?

yep, Itch is a closed system for only these controllers. new controllers like the Xone: DX will follow.

traktor is open, the only thing you need is a midi controller and a midi mapping, so you can use all these controllers with traktor pro as well.

Let me put this one to bed once and for all.

The A&H DX will work perfectly well with Traktor in fact in will work just as well with Traktor as for Itch.
Itch has Zero advantage of Traktor with this controller.
Theres a very good reason for this that im wont bore you with.

I love it that there will be a mapping for the Xone: DX... I'm so tempted to get that one!

Hey Karlos - what if I wanna be bored? What's the reason for it?

Back to thread:
The other controllers will also work with traktor pro - but you'll have to get a mapping for these controllers and if there is no good mapping then you have to map the controller yourself... The advantage is that you can redefine the controls of your controller with your very own mapping.

Ok you got me , its not boring its actually info i cant share. Bit lame but ...

**Morbido** · 11-03-2009, 01:59 PM

Too bad, I'm curious what you meant

either way, itch still sounds shit (to me) now. don't like things with no flexibility. definately made the right choice with traktor

i like both apps!

traktor offers incredible flexibility and some nice state of the art features.
itch offers incredible simplicity and incredible scratch performance with the vci-300... i often play around in traktor but mostly use itch when playing out...

but if there will be a stock mapping from A&H or NI for the xone: dx then i'm pretty sure i will be mostly using traktor!
