Video: DJ Shiftee Routine on Kontrol Z2, Maschine, Traktor Scratch

Written by Dan White on December 12th, 2012 21 Comments

After DJ Craze’s routine, we knew that Shiftee would be itching to take a stab at a routine on the Kontrol Z2 – and it’s finally here. With a brand new gold-topped Maschine MkII to match his golden Technics 1200s, Shiftee most certainly will account for a fair amount of holiday gear lust for DJs around the world.

Check out the full video below:

New maschine software or new traktor software? Remix decks on maschine!

Where is the mapping for the maschine?

I think it’s just the first row which is mid mappable. I haven’t analyzed the video frame by frame though.

I have the very same question…

Two points of interest concerning potential updates to Traktor from the video are MK2 remix decks and Flux Mode with DVS. A conversation about the video is happening in the forums, http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=64648, join us.

Most likely he is using his mates mapping, http://djendo.com/traktor .

Yes, but it has to be a Maschine without the knobs, right?!

ONCE AGAIN, another video that showcases the DJs talent and not the gear. Shiftee can do the same thing without the Z2. And what is the point of having the Maschine mapped to the cues if the mixer does the same thing?? He’s basically using the mixer as a drum pad. Uh….how does that should the controls of the Z2? He barely touched the effects. So sad NI. I’d rather watch a 10 minute set of a DJ mixing and using all the mixers functions.

it’s the wood kit for the Maschine not another Maschine. I have the same kit made by Jesse Dean Designs. Shiftee has a face cover on it to use it as a stand.

He has different groups set to different slots of the remix decks, not only the 1st row

I sort of agree. It is just DJ Shiftee and you have to take him for what he is and does.:) Yeah, the video doesn’t really showcase the Z2, but oh well. And I agree, a decent video on mixing with the Z2 would be cool too.

scamo
roro
