They come with 16 dedicated potentiometers and 20 buttons. The Master Clock and the Loop Recorder sections which are fitted with quality LED display bars and all necessary functions in order to make all Traktor departments easy accessible.

Last but not least you will find 2 pedal connectors on the rear side in order to add flexibility and hands-free operation. Each pedal connector automatically recognizes if a footswitch or a pedal is connected and you can easily assign any effect to these two connectors. (Sweet! —Ed.)

All controls can be setup individually via the Traktor setup and attributed to every desired function. A modifier control makes this even easier.

The Glanzmann Digital DJ Solutions 4TrackTrigger will be released sometime in August; pre-orders are now being taken for €1500.
