Adding Effects to Vinyl With Ableton on the Traktor Kontrol Z2

My only gripe about the Z2 is that you can’t effect vinyl through Traktor’s effects. Hopefully they add that capability in the future. In the meantime, I set up something with Ableton Live, that is controlled by the Z2 in MIDI mode (Shift + Setup/Gear). I don’t think it’s possible to have Traktor going, and effected vinyl going at the exact same time, since the Z2 needs to be in MIDI mode, but I welcome people’s experiments.

I really just use Delay and Reverb, so that’s all I have set up, but Tarekith, tarekith.com has made an Ableton set of DJ effects, that’s where I got the one-knob filter that emulates Traktor’s. Download links below the pic.

I think you can: Z2 live input. Traktor FX on real vinyl

I had seen that before, but wasn’t able to set the deck into Live Mode. I figured out you have to enable the deck, and then press Shift + Traktor button to put in Live Mode. Good call!
