The Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Control Vinyl MK2 is designed for DJs who want the flexibility of digital MP3 libraries while still maintaining the feel of using vinyl. With DVS (Digital Vinyl System), DJs can control MP3s just like they would control a record. The MK2 control vinyl has super low latency, allowing for perfect back-cueing and scratching. If you want the classic vinyl experience with the convenience of digital libraries, DVS and Traktor Scratch are the way to go.

Timecode Control Vinyl, or TimeCode, is a specially recorded vinyl that is played on traditional turntables. The vinyl contains recordings of analog audio signals, also known as timecode. The turntable’s audio output, which is the timecode recording, is sent to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This ADC can be a multi-channel soundcard or a dedicated external USB or firewire audio interface, DJ controller device, or compatible mixer (usually included with the software).
The ADC sends digital timecode information to the software, which translates the signal into changes in playback speed, direction, and position of a digital audio file. The audio file reacts as if it were pressed directly onto the record. The manipulated audio output of the program is then sent back through the DAC or the computer’s sound card and can be routed into an audio mixer for mixing like any other analog audio signal.
The result is digital audio playback that sounds like music manipulated by an analog vinyl recording. However, there is always a short delay between the needle’s reading of the timecode and the software’s playback of the audio. The delay time is an important factor for vinyl emulation products, as a shorter delay allows for better response and control of the music. The Traktor Control Vinyl MK2 has the lowest latency in the range.
