The Numark Mixtrack: the Pro version will add a sound interface.
Numark has confirmed that a Mixtrack Pro DJ controller with a built-in sound interface is on its way, following the successful launch of the Numark Mixtrack earlier this year.
The forthcoming controller was mentioned on the Virtual DJ software forum by Simon Bangs, Product Development at Numark Pro DJ, promising more details to follow.
Native Instruments's new Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ controller.
Native Instruments today announced the highly anticipated Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ system (US$899 / £754 / €869), a four-deck hardware/software combination that it calls “the future of professional DJing”.
The controller – which is similar in appearance to the X1 and in layout to controllers such as the Allen & Heath Xone:XD, the American Audio VMS4, and the new Denon DN-MC6000, offers tight integration with the new Traktor Pro S4 software across four decks. Have a look at the first of two official Native Instruments YouTube videos we have for you:
The Omnitronic TMC-2 is a workmanlike controller with some high-end features.
German manufacturer Omnitronic is finally making its previously announced new DJ controllers, the TMC-1 and TMC-2, available from next month.
Priced at €180 (US$239) and €275 (US$365) respectively, and designed to work out of the box with Virtual DJ (the LE version is bundled with the controllers), the difference between the two units is that the TMC-2 has a built-in soundcard. In this way the choice here is similar to that offered by Hercules in its Steel & RMX products.
It’s something many Traktor users and digital DJing fans have waited a long time for, and today the web is buzzing with rumours – triggered by the above YouTube video, released by Native Instruments – that this new Traktor controller and software combination for Traktor will be released soon. Is digital DJing about to come of age?
Further rumour has it that the 4-deck controller – which looks closest to the Xone:DX dedicated Serato ITCH interface – will retail for as low as US$799, which with an updated version of Traktor would be an absolute bargain for a hardware / software combination of this apparent calibre.
