Speaking of this I made an Isolator FX mapping tool for the MIDIfighter Spectra. Here is the link if somebody want to check it out:
Have fun!
+1 for traktor integration
Nice! I will check it out…I’m using a MF classic. Using it in 4-banks mode. 1st 2 pages for Deck A & B hotcues, Page 3 to turn on ISO FX for deck A or B and select which bands lo/mid/hi to send to FX. The FX themselves are controlled using a separate controller (in my case its an MC3000 or my X1 when I am using timecode vinyl). The 4th page is just for random things like switching FX presets etc. Have been toying with the idea of a spectra, but am not yet convinced…
But definitely would want to see traktor integration for these!
- Maschine integration, something similar to the Bridge or better
- Proper itunes library integration
those would make me very happy
The ability to cue FX in the headphones before bringing them in would be the main thing for me
This is something you can already do in traktor.
Really? How do you do it, i must have missed it!
Yep.
Play track > Set effect target to that deck in mixer section > Activate effect > Cue in headphones
But if the track is playing through the master output, surely you will hear the FX through the PA as well when you activate the effect? I am talking about auditioning what the live channel will sound like with an effect applied before actually adding the effect to the master output, like on a DJM mixer.
In that case you can duplicate that track in any deck and preview effect in there 
-
More customization on your deck layout. A “edit mode” where you can just grab a deck or mixer or fx and have the ability to move it around. The ability to minimize boxes.
-
A smart track browser. I’m not a big fan of the track browser, I want it to be more like Ableton’s. Gives more space and easier to navigate.
-
Easier routing to other daws, softwares or hardwares.
-
Add macro effects, just like ableton’s to create a chain of effects to make a build-up. With these macro effects you can modulate the volume, the dry/wet, EQ’S and so on.
Updates that don’t break the software.
Now you are just asking for something ridiculous.
-Possibility to record loops from specific deck target without Cue monitor on. Plus midi for each source.
-Echo freeze effect in group FX mode.
-Mapping commands for Master clock and recorder panels.
Picth bend on remix decks for those times your slightly out.
The Remix decks do have pitch bend and they are mappable
As cool as the concept is for the Bridge i’ve yet to see any DJ’s really take advantage of the features, and so far it seems like support has slipped for the Bridge. I think the trouble with the Bridge is that the feature is tied to 2 different companies with 2 different agenda’s. I’m sure this makes product updates a bit of a hassle cause now you have to work with coordinate with a separate company rather then just having everything in house. If NI decides to do something similar, they’re better off creating their own solution rather then tying it to someone else’s software (i.e. Ableton)
If you’re looking to do clip launching, the remix decks are a suitable replacement, if you’re looking for the mixtape feature that’s a different story. I think eventually NI will integrate Maschine as a post mix device where you can tidy up your mix from Traktor and add in some extra stuff.

Im surprised this thread isn’t already ten times longer than it actually is!
-
A copy/paste function in the MIDI mappings, and mass duplication/deletion (i.e. I can ctrl+click then copy a large group of commands).
-
Colours and/or values on the level meters and master meter. I know the master meter has colours already, but I’d like ones you can see BEFORE you hit them.
-
Proper transport controls on the remix decks, so they work more like ordinary decks.
-
And a parallel deck view, of course.
Vinyl break (adjustable cdj style) when you start/stop a track
My wishlist:
-
Decent library management. The Traktor music library is godawful, and the iTunes integration makes it even more confusing. Something like Serato’s library would be awesome and doable.
-
Decent controller manager. Let me select several items and change one part all at once, or delete, or copy and paste, or even navigate with the freaking arrow keys and shift-click.
-
VST support would be really nice - it’s probably the only additional “feature” I want to see - I don’t care about video, don’t need more samplers, remix decks, or any of that stuff. Traktor effects are awesome but it’s limiting to not be able to use effects that you can use with other software.
-
Rewire would be awesome and would probably obviate the need for 3.
-
More flexible beatgrids, it’s only been the biggest requested thing since 1991 or whatever. If they don’t want to give us the ability to have two different bpms, at LEAST let us reset the beatcount when we add a second or third beatmarker. That much is a no-brainer but seems to have been ignored.
-
Triplet on the gater and beatmasher.
-
GUI updates would be nice; specifically the ability to browse the collection on a different monitor, but being able to maximize the waveform for gridding would be cool too as someone posted above
-
bring back the mix recorder… or something like it (kind of like mixtape functionality in “the bridge”).
-
Stop needlessly crippling the software - open the remix decks to other controllers and let us use TSP functionality with our DB4s.
-
the biggest and most important change of all… a responsive customer service from NI that doesn’t treat users like idiots and actually takes into account feature requests.
