- Mar 08, 2013 This mapping concerns those who would like playing with Traktor as they play with Serato Itch Pro - Version 2.6.x: Downloads: 7098. Mapping(s) for Numark, NS 6.
- Aug 30, 2013 I would really like to see you guys try to achieve compatibility with the NS7 / NS7II. Maybe even have some features added into Traktor geared towards the Mark 2. I mean, imagine having Traktor itself have 16 sample fields that you could just drop a wave file of a drum slice or whatever into and just hit those Akai pads?
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled How i set up my NS7 II with Traktor 2?Is there any mapping for that?

Four channels of mixing, real slip mats and vinyl, motorized platters, and a full array of touch-activated knobs and filters and velocity-sensitive performance pads—NS7II is the most responsive DJ console ever created. Nearly every inch is filled with controls that come to life, reacting to your touch and illuminating in response to your style. You get unprecedented visual feedback, ultra-tight control via high-resolution MIDI, and the most comprehensive integration with Serato DJ available.

With NS7II, you can have the best of both worlds. The art of mixing was born on vinyl, and with NS7II that’s where it remains. Like NS7, NS7II has two genuine seven-inch motorized platters, and both are supported by ultra-high-resolution MIDI—3600 ticks per rotation. You also have your choice of high- or low-torque platter settings. When it comes to feel, response, and high-performance mixing, it doesn’t get any better. NS7II gives you the unmatched precision and feel of true analog platters combined with all of the conveniences of your digital music library.
