Product Information Native Instruments Traktor Scratch A10

Based on versatile new software features and a revised audio interface line, the new product generation expands the lead of Native Instruments’ TRAKTOR range and gives DJs even more creative possibilities. TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 lets you spin digital files on four track decks using super-tight vinyl and CD control. The next generation of the award-winning digital vinyl system is easier to use than ever. Set it up in seconds thanks to the included TRAKTOR AUDIO 10. The TruWave hi-res colored waveforms and new, simplified user interface give you a new perspective on your mix and allow for instant creativity with the Sample Decks, Loop Recorder and studio-quality effects. Now withTRAKTOR 2 Technology Inside, you'll get a DJ product guaranteed to be intuitive, creative and addictive! TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 features an intuitive software interface, as well as TruWave frequency-specific colored waveforms for a new experience in mixing. Thanks to Auto Detection and configuration for NI audio interfaces, you can set up in seconds, while TRAKTOR AUDIO 10’s Direct Thru function makes switching DJs in the club a breeze. The SoftSync feature adds a new level of tempo-awareness to TRAKTOR SCRATCH that expands your mixing options when using vinyl control. TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 offers an incredible range of creative options to define your individual sound. The intuitive looping and cueing functions have been enhanced with the addition of Sample Decks, making live remixing and re-editing a cinch. Grab and layer your own loops, use the library of included loop content or fire off one-shot samples such as the included scratch sounds. Record from any channel via the Loop Recorder and add dynamic layers to dramatically heighten your mix. Use the expanded effects section like an external effects unit and even sync up with gear such as MASCHINE to create powerful set ups for stage and studio.
The new TRAKTOR generation is based on a revised high-visibility GUI for intuitive operation under all conditions, and now offers up to four powerful Sample Decks as well as the unique Loop Recorder. While each Sample Deck can add up to four simultaneous samples or loops to the mix, the Loop Recorder allows DJs to capture audio from various sources on the fly and drop it back into the mix at any time, opening up creative techniques far beyond conventional DJing.

A further major innovation of the new TRAKTOR generation is the new “TruWave” technology. By displaying tracks and samples in all four decks with high-resolution multi-colored waveforms, it gives deep insight into the spectral properties of the music, visualizing both individual rhythmic elements as well as general sonic characteristics. With four selectable color schemes, an extra-wide zoom range and subpixel-accuracy waveform rendering, TruWave allows DJs to read their tracks visually for even more intuitive mixing.

The leading synchronization features in TRAKTOR have been further expanded with a new “SoftSync” function that provides a unique combination of convenient automatic beat-matching and hands-on control. By keeping the tempo of multiple tracks in sync without manipulating the phase, SoftSync accommodates the widest possible range of mixing techniques both in TRAKTOR PRO 2 and in TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2. The effect selection of TRAKTOR has also been expanded with four additional types that offer unique ways to create dramatic breakdowns and other typical performance effects, including a tape delay emulation and the new “Bouncer”, increasing the arsenal to an unparalleled assortment of over 30 algorithms.The timecode-controlled TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 combines the new software generation with the new TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 interface, which offers additional I/O, improved signal chain monitoring and a versatile new bypass functionality over the previous AUDIO 8 model. With its true analog “Direct Thru” functionality that can be controlled directly from the TRAKTOR 2 software, TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 allows for easier switchovers between DJ sets and is ideally suited for club installation.

(The following text origines from Skratchworx.com:)
This is V2 of the existing Traktor range, which means all new software and hardware (as indicated by the blowout sale before Christmas if you hadn't guessed). So you get the full 4 deck flavours of Pro and Scratch Pro, and the 2 deck DUO and Scratch DUO for those who aren't especially swayed by the current 4 deck trend.

Reading the PR gives you the basic selling points:

Waveforms: Finally, waveforms get the colour treatment (4 different schemes) and indicate the highs and lows of the audio. This TruWave technology offers a smoother higher resolution display than before as well a clearer overview of the entire track.

What appears to be missing is stacked waveforms. I've lost count of how many people have begged for this to be added, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. I guess you can cheat a little and configure decks A and C to sit on top of each other though.

User Interface: This has got an overhaul to make it as clean or as busy as you want. The SSL interface has won many friends whereas one of my own issues was the often complex and confusing interface. That looks to have been changed with an as yet unknown level of configurability. If the screenshots are anything to go by however, the interface just got a lot more friendly.

Effects:This is an area where frankly Traktor remains untouchable. And they just added some classics, including Tape delay. And reading through the info, you can also route external audio through Traktor 2 and use the internal effects with other applications.

SoftSync: This isn't new but is certainly new to Traktor. Essentially you preset the BPM and any track you load syncs to that BPM. It's not full autosync, but it does only leave you beatmatching. And of course is only as successful as the BPMing of your audio as well. It's still a time saver, and is especially welcome when you're busy with all the other T2 goodies.

Sample decks: As seen in Traktor S4, any deck can become a 4 bank sample player. There is a difference between Pro and DUO versions in that the Pro versions allow on the fly changing from deck to sample bank, as well as having volume and filter controls. NI also provide a small selection of loops and scratches to get you going,

Loop Recorder: This allows you to record any source, with effects, and even overdub for layered looping. And it's also a 5th deck running a loop if you want (because 4 just isn't enough right?).
