Native Instruments has recently unveiled the most recent iteration of its enduring DJ software, Traktor. This update introduces advanced stem separation technology, a novel maximiser driven by iZotope DSP, an integrated 16-step drum machine, and improved beat grids for enhanced precision when analyzing various tempos. Accompanying the new Maximiser, which draws on iZotope's renowned mastering capabilities, the stem separation in Traktor Pro 4 leverages technology from the popular RX plugin by the US tech leader. The Pattern Player serves as Traktor’s latest drum machine, featuring samples from renowned artists such as Rebekah, Luke Slater, Len Faki, Chris Liebing, and Dubfire. The 16-step sequencer synchronizes with your set’s tempo, enabling DJs to sequence dynamic patterns and percussion seamlessly.

In addition to the new features, the Traktor software continues to offer familiar elements such as Remix Decks, a wide variety of studio-quality effects, versatile EQ modes, support for Ableton Link, compatibility with timecode vinyl, key detection for harmonic mixing, and the ability to create smart playlists. Users will also benefit from a two-month complimentary subscription to Beatport Streaming. Furthermore, Native Instruments introduced the X1 MK3, a compact Traktor-powered controller, to their lineup last year.
