Will You Upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro 2 from S4?
Posted on: 22.03.2011 by Gloria Lemmel
Just out of curiosity I am wondering who is going to be getting the Scratch Upgrade or already has TSP and is going to use their Tables with the S4? It's $139.99 for anyone wondering or on the fence.

And BTW I am really excited for the next 3 weeks: MIDI Fighter, TSP2, I get to use my 1200s again, Florescent Orange Control Vinyl... Needless to say, I'm really pumped. I'll post some pics of my first gig with my new setup when I get the chance, but who else is getting this upgrade/using tables with the S4?

Just an FYI if you mean regular vinyl, cool but if you mean timecode vinyl, dont get any. They are already included in the S4 - TSP2 upgrade package.

Why would you not upgrade is the question lol Best thing since sliced bread! The traktor package just gets better and better.

I upgraded. I like it so far. I had duo already so it was a free upgrade. I bought duo just because I needed the soundcard and timecoded stuff to play out.

I have never owned a timecode or vinyl setup and the only reason I would purchase TSP2 upgrade would be to scratch. I have grown used to scratching on smaller jog wheels. In the past my hands on time with vinyl I found the extra surface area offered greater control (as expected).

I just recently purchased my S4 and had planned on upgrading to TSP2 and a Stanton STR8. However after calibrating, sharpening the xfader and a couple days of practice, scratching on the S4 feels 400x better than other controllers, good control, very responsive and having very little issues expressing the sounds that I want.

Now I'm reconsidering upgrading since the S4 seems to be doing a fine job scratching at the level I need (and remarkable with everything else), but I keep wondering how much further vinyl/timecode might take me and if there is still value in upgrading.

you can use TSP2 with and without the timecode. You can just activate it on demand.

Ok I have an s4 and I love it. Now I get the tsp2 upgrade for free. But I'm not going to always use the timecode. Can I just use the tsp2 software without the timecode on tsp2 or do I need the tp2 upgrade to use the s4 with no timecode?

i see no reason why they should continue investing in TPS4. KS4 users are getting the TP2 for free so S4 will 99.99% get discontinued. It was anyway an intermediate step for early adoption of the new TP2 features ...

Will NI still be developing Traktor s4 software after the release of TP 2? If they are not then i spose we should all go the TP 2 route?

I'll have to see how hid is working with the s4 for cdj's...Ive heard that it responds better than the timecode. Anyone?

Don't know if I'll go the cdj route or tt's yet...depends what I get into more.

Ill probably want 4 deck control without the shift button so 2 cdj's with looping function etc built in gives alot of options really quick.

Got a DUO license for 30EUR yesterday and registered it successfully last evening . April 1st will now be a TSP2 upgrade for me

I'm just sticking with upgrading my S4 to TP2.

I'd like to upgrade to the full TSP2 license. Currently negotiating a TSD license for about 25-30EUR. Lot of peeps got a TSD packages from the discount and are using the A4 only with ableton or just not using the Duo license.

The backup option I'm considering is getting a complete Duo package (there are still offers for about 150-200EUR, again from the 50% off deal ) and then sell the A4 only for about 130EUR. It would still give me the TSP2 license for less than the official upgrade price.

Karlos, do you have any idea if the free upgrade to TSP2 for S4+*SCRATCH owners will work for *SCRATCH license activations post April 1st? Need to know if I need to rush ...

I am definitely considering getting the TSP2 upgrade. I don't believe it will be on April 1st, but prob within a month or so.

It's because you need to buy a scratch licence, which is not owned by NI.

I already own SDuo so... planning on getting a pair of TTs for an alternate setup, rather than plugging them to the S4
