MK3 for Traktor

Turn a Maschine MK3 into a complete Traktor Pro 4 controller, with live waveforms on both screens.

MK3 for Traktor on the Maschine MK3 screens
(01) Overview

Traktor does not support the Maschine MK3 on its own. MK3 for Traktor drives both color screens and maps every control, so a whole set can be mixed without looking at the laptop.

    Waveforms you can mix from

    A scrolling spectrum waveform with the beat grid, loop regions and cue flags, plus a beat alignment meter.

  3. 03

    Every control mapped

    Pads, knobs and buttons drive Traktor's decks, loops, cues, browser and effects, with LED feedback.

  4. 04

    The browser on the controller

    Find and load the next track from the MK3 instead of the laptop.

  5. 05

    Starts with Traktor

    MK3 Control starts the app when Traktor opens, stops it when Traktor quits, and hands the controller to Maschine while Maschine is open.

  6. 06

    Works offline at gigs

    Once you are signed in, the license is checked on the computer itself, so the booth needs no internet.
