Native Instruments is using a live appearance to tease new hardware
There are two jog wheels, so two “decks” in the sense of platters you can control physically at once. There indeed appear to be mix controls for up to four decks, which makes perfect sense for Traktor’s up-to-four-deck controls.
DJs have some choices when it comes to controller hardware for Traktor; NI themselves have pushed compatibility with a variety of hardware, NI will support MIDI, as that could open up fun applications well beyond just Traktor.

Digging the Fatboy Slim mix
In this video, Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) gives his personal tips for using his new Fatboy Slim Mix App .
The Fatboy Slim Mix App is available now for just £1.79 ($2.99 / €2.39)… whether you’re a seasoned DJ or a complete novice, it really is fun for all the family – get it from the App Store Here (or just go to the App store on your smart phone and search ‘Fatboy Slim’)
The app comes pre-loaded with 15 classic Fatboy Slim tracks – including ‘Praise You’, ‘Star 69’, ‘Right Here Right Now’ and brand new Herve collaboration ‘Machines Can Do The Work’.
The app drops the beats in on the beat and in time, but there are a host of effects to play with, including Delay and Flange.
C64 VST
I have received quite a few questions on the recently posted C64 VST and if there is something similar that will run on a MAC, well there is (of course) I just think the other one had a somewhat more intuitive user interface and a little better sounding as well.
But for you all MAC and C64 lovers here is your alternative:
…and while you are at it why not download this little silly DJ MP3 app:
