Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z2 DJ Mixer

Full Description

The latest and greatest – Traktor Pro 3.1.0

Exciting new features and enhancements. Introducing Traktor Pro 3.1.0 - the latest and greatest version of the award-winning Traktor DJ software. Version 3.1 is jam-packed with new features including parallel waveforms, single deck view, standalone mode (for Kontrol S4 Mk3) and custom mapping for the S8 and D2.

Parallel waveforms provide new ways to view your decks. Parallel Full and Parallel Slim settings can optionally replace the side by side waveforms with stacked ones for ergonomic positioning. Single deck view introduces the ability to set the number of visible decks to one. This results in your decks' waveform being stretched across the full width of the screen for increased precision.

The introduction of tag writing mode means you can not configure the types of metadata Traktor writes to audio file. A range of improvements and fixes have been made as well, for the full list of features and more; visit the Traktor Pro 3.1 website.
