Under normal conditions, your sound card or mixer must be Traktor Scratch Certified to allow Traktor timecode CDs and vinyl to control the decks. Q: I just bought the XONE:2D and I'm curious if there any pre-set mappings for Traktor Scratch Pro? A: There are many different ways to configure the XONE:2D and Traktor Pro, a lot depends on how you plan to combine the two and what media format/s you plan to use, so if you're new to XONE:D Series mixers, or Traktor, we'd suggest using the A & H Traktor Pro.tsi configuration files to get you. Just a simple 4 deck mapping with Traktor controller feel. There's no midi for LED output, so I use a knob for A/C and B/D deck switch. Turn deck knob to left side for A and right side for C, same as B/D. Be careful not to hold down the left side loop set encoder too long or the 'MIDI SHIFT' mode will activate and midi channel will change. If it happens hold it down again to switch back.
DISCLOSURE: I’ve been doing some bits of freelance work with Native Instruments, on the Traktor side of things. Also, I’ve been a big Traktor fan for a long time.
Yes! Yes. We’re still waiting on Traktor Pro 3. Who knows when that’ll be out? But in the meantime, Native Instruments have steadily been bringing out new features and ironing out problems people have uncovered. In recent months, NI have tried to work more closely with users to test new software, as shown with their Expert Testers scheme and the betas for Traktor and Native Access.
Now, Native Instruments yesterday announced on Facebook that there’s an open beta for the new version of Traktor Pro 2, which will bring us right up to version 2.11. And there’s a good amount of stuff thrown in: step sequencers for the Remix Decks, Ableton Link integration, and some new club mixers gained Scratch certification. Here’s the Facebook video and text for the lazy:

There’s also a thread on NI’s Traktor forums that goes into a little more detail, and shows that certification for key Pioneer DJ gear and the new Allen & Heath Xone:PX5 mixer are coming too:

Numerous bug fixes
It’s funny. The concept of Ableton Link integration has definitely been a grower for me. Now, having tried it out, I can absolutely see how important it is to music software. It just makes a hugely important aspect of music production so ridiculously easy that it almost becomes a non-issue. No more messing with MIDI settings, or latency compensation… or cables, even!
When I first heard about this update, my first thought was “Finally! Step sequencer on F1!” It just made sense. The controller is basically just a smaller Maschine anyway… After a bit of a play, some reading of instructions and a download of the extra Remix Deck content they’ve thrown in for beta testers, I got everything up and running on the S8 I have lying around.
The step sequencer does what it promises. Implementation feels OK on the S8 with the screens, though there are some things I’d probably do a bit differently, like have your sample cell selection work as remix decks do, but switch to a sequencer layer for each cell. This is how Ableton’s Push step sequencer works, and very well, I might add. As it stands, you’re limited to having a maximum of four samples, each with a single pattern. There also doesn’t seem to be any way (that I’ve found) of saving a drum sequence to a new cell, which would be a killer feature that would free up the deck for even more complex drum patterns.
Native Instruments has also added CD-2000NXS2 HID support, along with Scratch certification for the DJM-900NXS2 and Allen & Heath’s brand new Xone:PX5 mixer, which were a welcome surprise. I’m especially intrigued by the PX5, especially after my review of the Xone:43C. Who’d have thought a couple of years ago, that NI would be first in to get a third-party mixer Traktor Scratch ready?
Are these the features you’re looking for? Will you be expanding your setup thanks to Ableton Link?

Hey i've been creating my own midi map for my allen and heath xone 4d in traktor pro 2 and all is nearly finished apart from a couple of, very similar, problems i have encountered:
1. when attempting to map the rotary knob to the right of each jog wheel as my tempo fader, using the 'learn' function in traktor, with it set to relative. But when i twist the knob, the fader in traktor jumps around like it wants to snap back to the middle, i have tryed adjusting the resistance etc with no luck.
2. when trying to map the jog wheels as tempo bend and scratch, a similar problem occurs, but it seems to want to stick to the beat indicators.
I have everything else mapped perfectly and this is very frustrating as these are two crucial elements that allow me to beat match, so as of yet, i am unable to use my new toy :/
any help or guidance will be very much appreciated.
Cheers, Bill
