Traktor S2 Mk3 Ipad Pro

What is the difference between the TRAKTOR DJ 2 desktop and iPad version?

Because TRAKTOR DJ 2 is based on a new, cross-platform codebase, you’ll find things are very much the same, apart from small layout differences due to screen size and format.

TRAKTOR DJ 2 is a DJ app without barriers; it’s free, SoundCloud Go+ integration means you have access to an endless track collection, and TRAKTOR’s song recommendations help you choose which one to play next. All you need is a laptop or iPad. Jan 24, 2019 At $49/£44 when it lands 'this spring,' Traktor DJ 2 is a fair bit pricier than the $10 iPad app it succeeds but we do know a license will come free in the box with the S2 Mk 3.

Will TRAKTOR DJ 2 replace TRAKTOR PRO 3?

TRAKTOR PRO 3 remains the most advanced incarnation of TRAKTOR. It’s used by professionals worldwide on a daily basis and will continue to be our flagship DJ software.
TRAKTOR DJ 2 and TRAKTOR PRO 3 will therefore be developed and updated in tandem in the coming years.

How do I power the S2 when DJing with the iPad app?

You can use a USB charger to power the S2 with the included USB cable, and hook up the iPad to the iOS port of the S2 with its lightning cable.
If you want to charge your iPad while DJing we recommend using the Native Instruments Power Supply (18W) to power the S2 directly, while connecting the iPad with its cable to the iOS port of the S2.
You can also use a mobile battery pack or speaker with a USB output to power the S2 for a truly mobile setup.

How do I connect my iPad Pro 3rd generation to my S2 hardware?

You can connect your iPad Pro to TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 using an MFI-certified USB C to USB A cable.

Will TRAKTOR DJ 2 work with my controller?

The TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK3, TRAKTOR KONTROL S3, TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1, TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 MK2, and any other audio interface will be supported. We plan on supporting more controllers in the future.

What’s the difference between TRAKTOR DJ 2 and TRAKTOR PRO 3?

TRAKTOR PRO 3 is our flagship DJ software, built for extended customization for professional DJs using different setups in club and festival environments.
TRAKTOR DJ 2 is a new app that’s designed for you to get spinning straight away – whether you’ve been DJing for decades, or somebody’s just passed you the AUX cable for your first mix.

Will SoundCloud integration be available in TRAKTOR PRO 3?

TRAKTOR DJ 2 uses a different codebase to TRAKTOR PRO 3, which means we can integrate third-party services like this much more easily. This isn’t currently possible with TRAKTOR PRO 3.

Is TRAKTOR DJ 2 the successor to TRAKTOR DJ?

TRAKTOR DJ 2 takes up what we learned from TRAKTOR DJ, with a rebuilt codebase for new integration and cross-platform capability with desktop and iPad support. It’s a new app, with some of the best parts of TRAKTOR DJ carried over.

What technology facilitates the track-matching feature?

We use machine learning to analyze the sonic nature of the track that’s playing, as well as its tempo and key, in order to produce a list of well-suited tracks to play next.

Which countries allow Soundcloud Go+ streaming in TRAKTOR DJ 2?

See the most up-to-date list of countries where SoundCloud Go+ is available.

Is TRAKTOR DJ 2 also supporting other music streaming services like Spotify?

We are ready to integrate more music streaming services in the future.

The Traktor team has announced new firmware for the Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 and Traktor Kontrol S3 to allow Midi mapping, and also released a public beta of Traktor Pro 3.3, whose headline new features are proper Mac iTunes/Music app integration, and HID compatibility with Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-700 and XDJ-1000 Mk2 media players.

Midi for Kontrol S2 Mk3 and Kontrol S3

A curious omission at launch, these devices now get a firmware upgrade so that they can be Midi mapped for use with other software.

Traktor S2 Mk3 Ipad Pro Case

It’s now an anomaly that Midi mapping is still locked off for the Kontrol S4 Mk3; while presumably this is due to the device’s complexity because of its feedback screens, we’d expect (hope) to see this added soon.

Traktor Pro 3.3 improvements

Playing nicely with the Mac Music app via the API integration (that has superceded XML integration) is the headline feature here; it seems the Traktor team has finally managed to fix the issue whereby this wasn’t working correctly previously.

There is a switch in the preferences so depending on your OS and whether you’re still running iTunes or Music, you can decide which way to integrate with your choice of Apple app.

The software now also plays nicely with Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-700 and XDJ-1000 Mk2 hardware in HID mode, meaning you don’t need to be using CDJ-2000NXS2 hardware to control Traktor in this way – this will of course be game-changer for the small number of users who want to use Traktor with just such a Pioneer set-up (usually at home or as mobile DJs, we’d guess).
