When you switch from deck A to deck C, turn on the browser, then switch back, it remembers which deck has the browser up. Joe has mitigated this by adding contextual UI, like the browser, and making it aware of which deck layer is active. The project’s biggest hurdle is that it is working with very little screen real estate, limiting what can actually be displayed. You just don’t get this sort of customisability with any of the other DJ apps. I’ve spent most of two decades as a Traktor user, and couldn’t imagine using anything else, which is why I’d also say that these sort of projects are part of what makes Traktor so great. Somehow, it feels a bit systemic of the issues Traktor is currently facing, and it saddens me. My thoughtsĪrguably, Joe has been effectively doing NI’s work for them, making the S4’s screens work how they should have out of the box. You can see the single deck browser in action in his demo video.

The Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3’s tiny screens were singled out as a missed opportunity. We talked about screens on controllers, and, more specifically, how Traktor is missing a trick as far as functionality goes. Flashback to a simpler time, before plagues, and crazy politicians.
