D2 1st impressions

So the D2 is still not midi mappable? How would support customize it?

 

They are considering User adjustable midi mappings (Including the already implemented midi assign - that now u can only use to map outside of traktor ). makes no sense that it is not part of it already.. like oo yeah.. midi mapping

it is possible to switch to any deck with the D2. Hold the DECK button and above the FX Select button select the deck you would like to use..

Yeah, if you just hit the DECK button normally, you will just jump to the deck below or above depending on the deck your focused on when you hit the button. I think its SHIFT + DECK then click A B C or D depending on the one you want. If your only playing with 2 decks then just use A & C, then route the audio of A to the left side of the crossfader and B to the right side, then you just need to only hit the DECK button the go between the decks. And you can also use split screen mode when you just use A & C, which is cool as you see both tracks on the screen. But if your planing on using more than two decks with one D2 its gonna get a bit confusing from time to time, and you will forget to change the focus before hitting buttons ect... I've had one originally, and just used A & C with the split screen mode and it will great. But now I have two D2's and its wild, A & B as track decks, and C & D as STEMS decks. If you get one, you will end up wanting two.
