Yesterday, Engine OS 2.3.0 was released. Last week, Native Instruments dropped Traktor version 3.6… with which they’ve begun adding subscription features via Traktor Pro Plus. Today's video is a late-summer '22 news update for DJs.
With the latest version of Engine OS, we have a couple great new features. Nanoleaf Smart Lights integration, easy access to Quantize feature, better control over Beat Jump and Auto Loop, better key detection, and more.
Denon PRIME Go users get a huge upgrade: the ability to use it as a controller, thanks to Virtual DJ integration. No word yet on a similar upgrade for the Numark Mixstream Pro.
The most noteworthy addition to Traktor 3.6 is the Pattern Player. This is a new type of FX unit (meaning it slots right in with the rest of your normal FX) and it allows you to trigger samples in time with your music decks. This acts as a basic (very limited) sequencer-sampler.
Next up, we have the addition of Ozone Maximizer. Maximizer is simply a master limiter, which adjusts the release time to the input signal to keep your set from peaking and distorting.
