I don’t know if it’ll prove a practical solution for your average DJ to lug around with him to gigs. We all have a wonderfully inventive way of using technology these days. This means you will still need a suitable DJ Soundcard with headphone monitoring capability, a PC or laptop and a copy of Traktor Pro 2.įrom experience I have learnt never to entirely assume how a new piece of tech will be used or by whom. It’s important to understand that Emulator is essentially a DJ midi controller – the only difference being that one uses the Touchscreen to control Traktor as opposed to knobs and sliders. Nonetheless it has been well thought out and is easily enough navigable for anybody familiar with the program.
The layout of Traktor Pro 2 is very similar on the big screen to the standard version – enough so that anybody using the program should have no difficulty getting their groove on pretty quickly – but it is essentially an overlay and not a direct mirror image of the standard version. Thus two functions are being achieved 1 the Traktor DJ software is projected onto the big see-through screen and 2, via the USB connection the Touchscreen now becomes your midi controller to control the DJ software. To set the system up one simply plugs the projector into your laptop or PC dual screen output and the Touchscreen into an available USB port on said laptop/PC. Currently it works with Traktor Pro 2 although we are told that soon Serato, Virtual DJ and Ableton emulations will also be available.
