TRAKTOR PRO Ideas breakdown 2023

I think this post is what you are referencing..https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/19815/my-traktor-s6-concept-this-is-not-a-leak?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=s6

There are some cool looking features there for sure! Dig the larger jog wheels (motorized is a must-keep feature), I like EQ kills (forgot to include that feature in my post), the digital display looks dope, and many other things about the layout and features, and current NI design language. You have super impressive renderings and some really awesome ideas, so props! I'm a little unclear about the move/loop section of the S4 ( controlling beat loop size/position/move forward/back and with a digital display)... Honestly the S4's move/loop section, of all the generations of the S4 controllers (I've had MK1/2/3) is the sole reason I have stuck with Traktor, so I'm a stickler for keeping that on the controller no matter what. No Pioneer or other controller can compete with it. Push-button rotary encoders for loop size/position activated on/off by pushing them is my #1 requirement in a controller.. and a product I have thought about crowd sourcing/making as a stand-alone controller to use with Rekordbox/Serato/etc... if (god forbid) NI ever moves away from it. Your concept rendering has available space for some of the other features I mentioned, especially towards the top of it (waveform zoom adjust, BPM x2 and x1/2, key lock on/off, etc). Looks like the right size controller for what I am envisioning as well.

you should post that as a suggestion thread maybe! I don't think they're reading this thread looking for ideas...

Would be fun to be able to build your own Mixer FX.

No, the X1 works as intended. It has no audio interface and is just a controller. Like a keyboard.

For CUE to work your soundcard needs a dedicated channels for the headphones that are not the same as master. So 4 channels in total. Any audio interface that can do that work with Traktor. And thus also with the x1.

Not with your interface, as it only has 2 channels. Left and right.

You need an interface with 4. left and right monitor, left and right master.

Great idea.

I've been dying to see full sweep Mixer FX filter with resonance control; as well as full sweep filters on the Pattern Player.

Who actually uses the low pass filter that often anyway?

I really wish Traktor would make an S4 style controller with a larger footprint, with larger motorized jog wheels, larger hotcue points, enough encoders to utilize 4 fx banks at the same time, be able to control the LED colors for the entire controller, have additional XLR and 1/4 outputs, zoom in and out waveform adjust (each channel), X-fader on/off button (for each channel), x 2 BPM and x 1/2 BPM (for each channel to double/half the tempo), possible blank encoders/knobs/pads for midi-mapping, better/more accurate channel volume meters, nice heavy duty faders (ie Innofader), and either it be a 4 deck controller or have the option of buying individual matching decks to make it a 3, 4 etc. deck controller, multiple USB/USB-C inputs. The best thing about the S4 is/has always been the beat move/jump section, and it’s the reason I switched to Traktor from Serato then the S4 MK1 debuted. Bought a MK2 after that and then MK3 when it came out. A bigger, badder 4 deck (4 deck sections with jog wheels is my dream co troller, with all the features I mentioned. It could be a flagship/Pro model even. Aside from the already mentioned by everyone features like electric beat grids and stem separating features, I really want to be able to use it in external mixing mode to route each channels individual audio into a 3rd party app ie Ableton to do audio edits of a mix… or maybe it could save similar to a stem file with each channel’s audio as one separate stem audio file? The software won’t allow me to mix with my headphones from the controller when I have used 3rd party apps routing audio from Traktor into Ableton, so I can’t hear my mix (in the Traktor settings it’s greyed out/feature disabled). I can’t my audio levels for tracks just right even after running everything through Platinum notes, so a feature (like what Serato has) to set/metadata save the tracks’ audio level would be amazing to have too.
