Numark 4Trak? NS6 for Traktor?
Found these online, it seems to be taken from the manual of the upcoming numark 4trak?
the 4Trak is also listed in Traktor as one of the controllers (2.1.2)
Wondering when will they announce it and also wondering if the jogwheels etc are as good as the NS6 on itch (in traktor)
OMFG that looks tasty !!!:eek:
So it’s an NS6 for Traktor? That could be cool I guess, but I’ve always thought that the main “thing” with the NS6 were the superb jog wheels, and Traktor’s jog wheel support is fairly crap.
Numark 4Trak? NS6 for Traktor?
All numark needs to do is add LEDs to the jog wheels and I’d sell my mixer and techs and buy one.
Ooh, sexy long pitch faders! I really hope this will turn out to be as good as it looks… It’s a few buttons short for Traktor, maybe, but the NS6 almost made me go Itch already…
Edit: It looks exactly like an NS6, but with extra knobs for FX units and channel filters on the separate bolt-on unit. Note that there are 5 hot cue buttons instead of the more Traktorish 4 or 8. Understandable from an R&D cost perspective, maybe, but sounds a little Frankencontroller. Looks good but the points to worry about are the same as before: jog response in Traktor, and pitch fader resolution, which people have complained about with NS6 in Itch.
Oh, and the NS6 already had LEDs on the jogs, just like the Pioneer units.
That looks pretty good, finally a really well built all in one traktor controller if that is the case.
Functionally I loved the S4, but it feels like a toy and I would not want to take it with me if I was doing small bar type gigs. The NS6 is the only real quality feeling portable all in one controller currently.
anyone here got an NS6? there is already a mapping in traktor 2.1.2 for numark 4 trak, i am curious what will happen if someone with NS6 loads the mapping what would happen? Would the ns6 work as if its the 4Trak?
I suppose they are most likely will have slightly different firmware but hey cant hurt to try

Product:
Numark DJ mixer 4Trak four decks and MIDI Controller
General:
It is again Numark that comes with an amazing controller. 4Trak This is a four-deck DJ MIDI controller that has a special, separate FX unit. A similar combination we saw earlier in the Numark NS7, which was later released with a separate FX unit. Apparently, there was demand for a controller with that intent, which was developed 4Trak now!
Hardware and software, analog and digital united
The 4Trak is the ultimate combination of both hardware and software. Based on the available material we clearly see that different inputs and outputs are present on this multifunctional controller. In addition, it is obvious that an internal audio interface is present. The online manual that we have seen, also shows that there is a full Native Instruments Traktor version 2 is included, which you can get started.
Four Decks principle and interface 4Trak
The Numark 4Trak is a four deck controller with two physical decks onboard. By means of switches on the front deck A and C are left select, B and D are the right selection. You also have various settings including the crossfadercurve.
But that’s not all. The 4Trak the special FX unit on board. Not only acts as an effects unit, but also makes the unit the link to your software possible with the USB input and output. This is a standard protocol shared between your USB MIDI DJ software, the FX unit and 4Trak. The interface has a 44.1 kHz 24-bit Audio Interface and shall include XLR outputs on the master. It is clear that this is a full controller, which also can serve as a mixer with analog sources.

I have an ns6, I actually just got it a month ago. I was so torn between traktor and the ns6 and went with the ns6. I’d love to try the mapping out. Can I download a free trial of traktor to test this out? I hope this just ends up being an add on fx bar (like for the ns7) that comes with an overlay and mapping for traktor. I just can’t see them producing 2 seperate of te same units. One for serato and one for traktor.
Hey there
i got a ns6. will try out the 4trak map in traktor when i got home…
would be nice if it worked and numark would sell the tilt stand alone for ns6 users.

Booyah! Brits beat them at their own game again.
Nice one Giz.
(Shame about your cricket team)
didn’t answer our question about the ns6 with 4trak map 
The NS6 and 4Trak have different firmware, and the 4Trak has been specifically optimised for Traktor. It’s always the jog wheels that cause the issues, and that I suspect will be the big difference.
Any idea if we can upgrade the firmware on the NS6 to the 4Trak?
I purchased the NS6 to use with Traktor - and that is what I use it for now but this news is a bit unsettling for me due to this fact. 
I completely agree. When I first started this elaborate journey of researching controllers vs upgrading my DJ setup, the NS6 appealed to me most as it was solid build quality, didn’t look like a toy, was a standalone mixer with booth outs, and was a spread out layout with little to seemingly interfere. The fact I wasn’t a fan of Itch’s effects section was a complete turn off, and let it fall by the wayside in my research process.
Introduce this badboy.
It seems as though they listened to the NI Traktor consumer who was screaming out for the thinkgs (Dutch for ‘things’ 
) mentioned above prior to NI doing it.
Oh, if ONLY Allen&Heath would produce a similar unit in this price point with incorporating their amazing filters, EQ section, and sound quality. It would be a dead lock for me. With the DX being discontinued, it isn’t too much to ask, is it?
Hmmm… I’d say that’s a question for Numark. I can’t see it happening though. Numark will want you to buy their proper Traktor controller rather than hack an NS6.
That is what I was afraid of. Guess it’s time to go ahead and sell my NS6.
We’ll need some guys to get the firmware from the 4trak and find out how to port/upload it to the ns6.. almost like djtechtools did with the vci-100. shouldn’t be so difficult.
tryed the 4trak map on my ns6 last night.. the most basic funktions worked fine, but others didn’t.. i would bet on that almost eveything would work fine if the ns6 firmware would get an update. numark isn’t producing 2 different products, but one and then put different firmware in it + eq bar for the 4trak controller. really looking forward to NAMM now
