Almost anything you can imagine a controller doing is possible within Traktor. Traktor’s biggest strength (imo) lies in their midi-mapping interface. For those that just want to map a cue points or other simple commands this is really not a problem but for the more adventurous DJ’s you’re going to hit a dead end quite rapidly. I would like to map a button to turn on the FX only while I am holding down a button but right now it only supports a toggle action with no way to modify the behavior. One example would be the new effects in Scratch live. Basic midi mappings are available but very simple modifications to those mappings are not. It’s easier to use than Traktor’s midi-window thanks to their direct midi learn utility but that also greatly limits what you can control. Serato has midi implementation but it’s very limited. This higher frequency means better tracking of super slow record movements. If you start to dig into the details there is one small difference that might affect hard-core turntablists – that Traktor Scratch uses a 2khz carrier signal on its control records (Serato uses a 1khz). Dj TechTools will attempt to tackle that question in this article.Īs the video above clearly demonstrates, both systems have excellent response. With only a few minor performance differences between the 2 DVS leaders, most viewers were probably still left wondering which system is better for them. Predictably, there was little real difference between the two systems as both performed really well compared to traditional vinyl.

ThudRumble posted a video this weekend of Qbert comparing the scratch response of Serato Scratch to Traktor Scratch.
