Hello everyone!
I’d like to share an idea about integrating external VST synths into Traktor Pro 4.
Lately, I’ve been exploring hybrid DJing, and it got me thinking — how cool would it be if Traktor had a dedicated virtual synth deck. For example, a new Deck category alongside Track Deck, Remix Deck, Stem Deck, and Live Input — something like a Synths Deck. In it, you could load synths and other virtual instruments (Massive, Reaktor, etc.), sequence patterns, or simply use presets.
Control could be handled with a new Traktor Kontrol F1 MK2 or Komplete Kontrol. Honestly, with Native Kontrol Standard these days, I feel like you could even map a TV remote.
This feature could also be introduced as part of the Traktor Pro Plus subscription. It would simplify audio routing, give Traktor a unique edge, and provide NI with an additional revenue stream.
Another thing that would be amazing is a built-in compressor with sidechain support. That way, synths (or any live instruments) could be properly mixed with the main track.
Just some thoughts out loud! What do you all think?
