Today Native Instruments rolled out the latest update to their flagship DJ software Traktor Pro 2. The biggest new addition is the ability to map the Remix Deck controls that were previously only available to Kontrol F1 users. Other features include deck header tweaks, timecode optimization, and support for Native Instruments’ new Kontrol Z2 controller. With the ability to map more of Traktor’s Remix Deck controls, I expect to see a flurry of custom MIDI mappings for various controllers coming soon.
