Faderfox DJ2 Controller NI Traktor controller
Product Info
The micromodul DJ2 is a small DJ controller of 2nd generation that contains everything you need for computer-based mixing in the usual layout of a DJ-mixer. This controller differs from all other controllers on the market in that it is optimized for NI Traktor DJ-Studio. The device offers all important controls for two decks like faders, EQ’s, transport and FX buttons. A joystick is nice to control two FX (filter) parameters simultaneously. Another strength of the DJ2 is the possibility of sensitive pitching by two encoders. These encoders are multifunctional so you can browse in the track list, load tracks, seek/scratch in tracks and either adjust the gain. As of Traktor DJ-Studio version 2.1, you can use the DJ2 immediately by using the different setting files which are shipped with the controller.
Modern Djing – without carrying heavy vinyl-cases! ;-)
While the DJ2 offers all main functions, our DX2 complements it with all the additional buttons for loop control, a full FX section (4 pots + 4 buttons) and 5 encoders for pitching/seek/scratch/list/load. DJ2 and DX2 are a really great team.
Use two devices DJ2/DX2 if you want to play a four-deck-set (Traktor DJ Studio 3.0). It is very easy to chain the devices by midi connections.
The DJ2 can also be used with other programs. We even made a special configuration file for Ableton Live as of version 4.1 which is just as fun. You can not program the DJ2 or assign controller numbers or key numbers, but you rarely need this function with current programs.
The DJ2 is very compact and easy to transport, and you do not even need any power adaptors since it works with standard and rechargeable batteries.
Improvements to DJ1 include Full two-deck-control, sensitive pitching by encoders, innovative FX control by joystick and some better ergonomics
