Also, as of the Traktor Pro Plus 3.8 update, the Kontrol F1 hardware also has preset Pattern Player operation. If you want hardware control over the Pattern Player, you can map any MIDI controller to do it, or use the easy, out-of-the box Pattern Player control from Native Instruments’ Traktor Kontrol S4 and Kontrol X1 (v2) hardware. Its drawbacks include that each Pattern Player only plays one drum sound at a time-rather than full drum kit beats like a drum machine does-and because a Pattern Player occupies an FX deck, you can’t activate both the drum patterns and the effects from the same FX deck at the same time. With Traktor Pro Plus 3.8, the Kontrol F1 now has a mapping to control all aspects of the Pattern Player. Its tempo automatically follows the master tempo and syncs to the grid. This knob-controlled step sequencer plays drum fills and patterns of varying complexity from one or both of Traktor Pro’s FX decks. The marquee feature of Traktor Pro Plus upon its launch, the Pattern Player, adds drum sample rhythms over your tracks. Traktor Pro Plus: an overview Pattern Player So, what’s the state of Traktor Pro Plus? I’ve tested everything on offer so far, and looked ahead to gauge whether the Plus is worth the fuss. New updates and features have been infrequent, but the recent update to v3.8 did add long-awaited user-customizable patterns to the Pattern Player, and iZotope-powered stem separation is “in research.” In the intervening eight months, the developmental pace of Traktor Pro Plus has not exactly caught fire. Its limited launch features of a beat-synced drum sample Pattern Player, a better output limiter, and what amounted to some coupons for Beatport and Beatsource streaming also came with the promise of continual growth. At least the $4.99-a-month (or $49 annually) was an optional and relatively low-priced subscription for accessing add-on and early features. Traktor DJs hoping for new hardware or some next-level software features instead got another subscription sales pitch. It’s been about eight months since Native Instruments announced the Traktor Pro Plus subscription in August 2022.
