The Traktor team has announced new firmware for the Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 and Traktor Kontrol S3 to allow Midi mapping, and also released a public beta of Traktor Pro 3.3, whose headline new features are proper Mac iTunes/Music app integration, and HID compatibility with Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-700 and XDJ-1000 Mk2 media players.
Midi for Kontrol S2 Mk3 and Kontrol S3
A curious omission at launch, these devices now get a firmware upgrade so that they can be Midi mapped for use with other software.
It’s now an anomaly that Midi mapping is still locked off for the Kontrol S4 Mk3; while presumably this is due to the device’s complexity because of its feedback screens, we’d expect (hope) to see this added soon.

HID stands for Human Interface Device and allows a hardware unit, such as a CDJ, to send information to and from a computer. Open the list box Device Target and select Deck B. Because the assignment Device Target was used for all deck specific commands in step 3, the mapping for the second CDJ player is already setup with this step. Despite the Device Target extension it is still possible to hard-wire the target deck for a MIDI command in Traktor 1.2.
Traktor Pro 3.3 improvements
Playing nicely with the Mac Music app via the API integration (that has superceded XML integration) is the headline feature here; it seems the Traktor team has finally managed to fix the issue whereby this wasn’t working correctly previously.

There is a switch in the preferences so depending on your OS and whether you’re still running iTunes or Music, you can decide which way to integrate with your choice of Apple app.

The software now also plays nicely with Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-700 and XDJ-1000 Mk2 hardware in HID mode, meaning you don’t need to be using CDJ-2000NXS2 hardware to control Traktor in this way – this will of course be game-changer for the small number of users who want to use Traktor with just such a Pioneer set-up (usually at home or as mobile DJs, we’d guess).

Do you love Rane mixers but prefer to DJ with Traktor? Would you like to use Rane's custom Traktor mappings for Rane 62/64 mixers, but aren't quite sure how to start? You're in the right place.
Here's a guide that will help you to set up Native Instruments' Traktor on the Rane 62/64 mixers quickly and easily. If you are using Pioneer CDJ's or turntables, you will still need to use a Native Instruments Traktor audio interface (i.e. the Audio 10 or the Audio 8). If you are using HID CD Players or a MIDI Controller, you do not need a Traktor sound card.
Here's how to set up Traktor mappings on the Rane 62/64 with a Traktor soundcard:
1. First begin with downloading the correct Traktor mapping here:
2. Open Traktor's Preferences by clicking on the Preferences icon in the upper right-hand corner, then navigate to the Controller Manager section.
3. Click on the 'Add' tab and choose 'Import'. Locate the .tsi mapping file you downloaded and open it. Make sure the In-Port and the Out-Port are set to the Sixty-Four or Sixty-Two.
If you are using a Traktor sound card, simply connect your sound card as you normally would and begin to use the Traktor mapping.
Setup with HID Mode
HID stands for Human Interface Device and allows a hardware unit, such as a CDJ, to send information to and from a computer. The main advantage of using HID mode is that HID responds to movements with almost no delay. The most popular HID controllers are the Pioneer CDJs; more information about how to connect these players in HID mode can be found here: http://dj.rane.com/blog/we-love-hid
1. Start by connecting your computer via USB to the Rane mixer, and set the source knobs accordingly on the mixer. (i.e., If you are plugged into USB A on your Rane mixer, set the Source knobs on the mixer to A)
2. If you are using HID CD Players, the audio can be routed directly from Traktor to the Rane mixer. If you are on a Mac, you will need to use Core Audio drivers. If you're on a PC, you will need to use ASIO drivers. Both can be downloaded here:
3. To route Traktor's audio to your Rane mixer, open the Traktor Preferences and click on Audio Setup.
In the Audio Device tab, choose either the Sixty-Two or the Sixty-Four.

4. Next, click on the Output Routing tab and choose 'External' in the mixing mode section. For the Sixty-Four, setup your outputs as follows:

- Output Deck A: Sixty Four Out 0 and 1
- Output Deck B: Sixty Four Out 2 and 3
- Output Deck C: Sixty Four Out 4 and 5
- Output Deck C: Sixty Four Out 6 and 7
If you are using the 62, you only need to setup Outputs for Decks A and B. Download vocoder vst plugin free.
Here's an outline of both of the mappings:
A few of the most important features in the mappings are the Scroll/Load knob, which allows you to scroll through tracks in a playlist and the Tab (or back) button, which you hold down and turn the Scroll/Load knob to scroll through different playlists. Many of the buttons are intuitively mapped, including the Loop button on the mixer. The 64 mappings use the layer buttons to layout the cue points, while the cue points for the 62 mapping are laid out using the cue buttons laid out horizontally on the mixer. Overall both are solid mappings that work well and can be effectively used for club sets and turntablism routines. The Rane mixers are some of the best mixers in the world, and it's a joy to use them together with Traktor!
