If you want to scratch, then, you’re looking at the Traktor Kontrol S2 or Traktor Kontrol S4. Alternatively, you could going down the DVS route where you buy Traktor Scratch Pro and use existing decks, like Technics (for vinyl) or, say, Pioneer CDJ-850s for CDJ DJing. In my experience, everyone else’s gear ranges from average to very good – but not perfect. Only Native Instruments’s own controllers get scratch performance perfect with the software. However, if you want to scratch with Traktor you have a problem. The Vestax VCI-400: It’s got all the controls, but jogwheel performance for scratching with Traktor is not as good as the Serato equivalent (the VCI-380). You can add a Kontrol F1 to any Traktor set-up, so no worries there. If I were you, especially as it has been discontinued anyway, I’d look elsewhere. I’m assuming you want metal construction, so try the Denon DN-MC6000 or Vestax VCI-400 (also both high quality, but this time made for Traktor, or at least, not intended for Serato as the Xone:DX is). If finding the best Traktor controller for techno DJing is your mission, I’d say the Xone:DX isn’t an obvious choice. PS experience tells me I’m fairly heavy-handed on my kit, and I do need to be able to lug it around too.” Digital DJ Tips says: Also, would it be easy enough adding a Maschine or a Traktor Kontrol F1 or two to spice things up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, also regarding any other controllers. Also I’m worried about Traktor 2.5 and future Traktor mapping. “My worry is that it has been discontinued and therefore replacement parts may be hard to come by. My main requirements are using the Traktor software, with the ability of delving into controllerism. The only controller that has caught my attention is the Allen and Heath Xone:DX, as it looks tough as nails, has replaceable components, is relatively easily transported, has a decent sound card, has XLR, booth out and phono inputs.” Being able to scratch would be an added bonus but not essential.
