Traktor DJing with a Nintendo Wii Bluetooth Wireless Controller
My good mate Tony came over a few weeks back with his Traktor set up – the usual laptop with midi Controller (Vestax from memory). Traktor with up to 4 digital decks/channels with the Pro version, auto beatmatching, EFX and your entire music collection nicely ordered at your fingertips looks like it opens up a whole load of possibilities.
Tony added another (geeky) twist to the standard set up by incorporating his Nintendo Wii controller and using it to wirelessly control the depth and saturation of EFX – watch this short video to see him in action – note the white thing in his hand is the Wii controller and listen to the track as he moves it up and down and presses midi mapped buttons - too geeky for club DJing but still rather amusing !
classic!
Download a fully featured trial version (it just stops after 30 mins) of Traktor Pro from Native Instruments here. I will post the article about how to set up the bluetooth Wii controller integration in the next week or so.
