Native Instruments Traktor and Denon DJ
Now with the ability to import playlists, songs, loops and cue points from NI’s Traktor, it means that essentially you can do away with the laptop. You can directly access what you require through the Engine Prime software. From this, the Traktor elements you want to use can then be effortlessly exported to the SC5000 through NML export.
Enhanced BPM analysis
The enhanced BPM analysis has room for more tempo (BPM) tracks and musical genres, all in one selectable range. This can be anything from hip-hop to drum ‘n bass. Not only that the improved downbeat detection ensures that Engine Prime selects the first downbeat of a DJs track even more precisely than it was previously.
Instant-doubles
This new feature duplicates the track that is playing at the exact same spot on a second networked player or the units second layer. The Instants Doubles is a must for turntablists and scratch DJs.
Prime Network Transfers
DJs are now able to access far larger music collections, quickly and easily, across a series of networked SC5000s.
Custom music arrangement
Custom workflow, arrangement, and navigation options are not only now available for playlists but also crates. This will make life for a DJ easier by having a more organised music collection that can be exported effortlessly to the SC5000. Additionally, instant cue-plus-play functions and the analysing of tracks metadata can be performed directly from inside the unit.
Denon DJ version 1.2 firmware
With this new update comes a new dimension and offers to enhance that DJ experience. It provides a faster, more accurate import/export capability and greater flexibility when organising music.
Paul Dakeyne, Director of Creative and Brand Marketing for Denon DJ describes the new update as “The ability to directly import Native Instruments Traktor playlists, ‘instant-double’ tracks effortlessly, the enhanced BPM capabilities and music library organization options create exciting new possibilities of workflow and performance for Prime DJs”.
