New sampler functions in next Traktor Pro 2 release

I was looking at the video in which Ean Golden explain his S2 demo video and noticed that he had on the sampler decks some new buttons which I can't find in my newly updated Traktor version (2.0.3).

On each sampler there is a Key, FX and Cue button. The play button is also changed to show what type of sample it is... In this case one shot.
Since Ean now is a NI insider I guess he's got the newest beta relese available and is working on that platform aswell. Either that or I've missed something! :(

Traktor for all types of DJs

I've heard from some DJs that Traktor is just for House DJs. First off... Their probably not reading my blog, but for those of you that do and somehow still is under the impression that Traktor is for house DJs and controllerists: Check out these two videos from the worlds TOP turntablists.

Unlike Serato Scratch or Itch... Traktor is fully prepared for either the controllerist or turntablist. Any one can use it from the major superstar to the bedroom DJ.
