Premium effects and multimode mixing tools
Powered by Traktor’s acclaimed sound engine, Native Instruments’ Traktor Play 4 makes effortless work of syncing tracks and tempos. It also accurately and quickly identifies essential track and waveform information, including key signatures, which are then displayed for real-time, color-coded monitoring. Onboard stem separation allows you to instantly remove the drums from any tracks, while Native Instruments’ studio-grade reverb, delay, and gate spatial effects complement the EQs and filters — modeled after industry-leading mixers and units. What’s more, Traktor Play 4 lifts the 808 kit from Traktor’s celebrated Pattern Player for historic sounds and prismatic progressions, with extensive looping, Hot Cue, and Flux-effect tools further expanding the aural aperture of rhythm and remixing capabilities. Topping it all off, a pro-tier master limiter keeps everything in check. And when the need emerges, the onboard AutoMix tools let you go hands-free with your set, giving you further creative flexibility to craft mind-blowing transitions and timbral transformations.
