Now plays Traktor on Windows, with the free Interaktiv Bridge. Touch an FX pad and it's on, lift and it's off. Hold LOOP and the hot cues become eight loop rolls.
Everything you play in Traktor, on one iPad screen.
Interaktiv Tap is a multi-touch instrument for live performance. One USB cable from the iPad to the Mac or Windows PC running Traktor Pro 3 or 4, and you play four decks, the mixer, EQ, loops and four FX units with both hands.
FX UNITS YOU PLAY BY TOUCH
Touch an FX pad and the effect is on; lift and it's off. Put two fingers on it and spread them: the pad follows both fingers and the gap between them, three things at once. Record that move and it loops in time with the track, on the beat, while your hands go somewhere else. Run it backward, halve or double it, layer loops across four units. HOLD keeps an effect on hands-free.
STEM AND REMIX DECKS YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY
Per-stem filter, FX send, volume, mute and cue on Stem decks. On Remix decks, fire slots from pads, punch in on the beat, and page through your slots. Track and Live Input decks too — all four of Traktor's deck types, from the same screen.
BUILT FOR A WORKING BOOTH
- App Lock stops the screen responding, so you can wipe sweat off it mid-set without setting anything off
- Freeze the whole app, move anything you want, and put the saved state back in one tap
- Rest a finger on any control and the header names its hidden gestures
- Faders that snap to centre when you slam them
- Swipe a deck open for EQ, filter and sends, and swipe it shut again
LOOP ROLLS UNDER THE HOT CUES
Hold LOOP on a playing deck and the hot cues become eight loop rolls, 1/32 to 4 beats: touch to roll, slide to change the size, lift and the track is where it would have been.
MAC AND WINDOWS, THE SAME INSTRUMENT
On a Mac the USB connection is built in. On Windows you also run Interaktiv Bridge, our free app from the Microsoft Store, which carries the MIDI over that same cable and turns green when Traktor answers. No Wi-Fi, no network setup, no extra hardware either way.
CONNECTING TRAKTOR TAKES THREE STEPS, ONCE
Export your Traktor settings, drop the file onto a web page, import the merged copy back. Your own devices and layouts are left exactly as they are. On Windows the page opens on the PC over the cable. After that it connects itself: launch it and it finds your Traktor, pulls the current state, and locks to the beat clock.
THE REST OF THE RIG
- Four-band EQ with kills, filters, gain, volume and cue
- Loops with size, hot cues, and a key fader — free or locked to semitones
- Four FX units fed from any deck, plus a filter and four effects on every deck
- Effects by name: step through Traktor's effects, keep a shortlist per unit, save their settings
- Master tempo, sync, flux mode, and audio loop recording
THE MANUAL IS INSIDE THE APP
Ask it a question in plain words — "how do I kill the bass?" — and get the exact section back. Setup on Mac and Windows, every gesture, the decks, FX, recording, troubleshooting. All on-device and offline: no account, and nothing leaves your iPad.
FREE TO PLAY, ONE PURCHASE TO KEEP
Every feature works from the first launch, in 15-minute sessions. The 15 minutes start once Traktor is connected and playing, so setting up never eats into them. When the time is up, that surface pauses and Traktor keeps playing — the music does not stop. Restart the app for another 15 minutes; it syncs to Traktor as it opens, so you carry on from where you were.
Take a 7-day free trial, or unlock everything with one purchase and it is yours for good. No subscription, ever. Family Sharing included.

Interaktiv Tap now plays Traktor on Windows, and the FX units are instruments you play by touch.
FIRST: UPDATE YOUR TRAKTOR SETTINGS
The app asks once Traktor answers. Share from Settings, merge, and import in Traktor, once on every computer you use. The merged layout opens Traktor with full-size decks.
WINDOWS
• Play Traktor Pro 3 or 4 on a Windows 11 PC over the same USB cable, with the free Interaktiv Bridge from the Microsoft Store.
• Setup asks Mac or Windows and follows the computer it finds.
• On Windows the Traktor settings page opens on the PC over the cable. No Wi-Fi, no address to type.
• When Traktor doesn't answer, setup shows a checklist — including that Traktor ignores MIDI while its audio device is missing.
TRAKTOR PRO 3 AND IPAD MINI
• Traktor Pro 3 works like Pro 4: all four deck types, full effect list, same setup.
• Any iPad on iPadOS 18 or later plays the full surface, mini included.
FX UNITS YOU PLAY BY TOUCH
• Touch the pad and the effect switches on; lift and it's off. HOLD keeps it on hands-free.
• Hold FX-UNIT: PREV and NEXT step through effects, SAVE and LOAD keep an effect's settings. Deck routing stays.
• The A–D buttons now only choose which decks the unit plays on.
• Two-finger hold FX-UNIT opens CHOOSE EFFECTS: one finger scrolls, two fingers reorder.
• While a gesture loop plays, HOLD reads REV: tap it and the loop runs backward from the next beat.
• A playing loop stops on the next beat, and halving or doubling carries on from the same point.
• One-knob effects take the value where you touch.
• Filter pads follow Traktor's DJM and BRJ buttons.
• A collapsed FX unit keeps HOLD/REV, its two loop slots and SIZE under your fingers.
DECKS
• Hold PLAY with one finger: CUE and CUP while the deck is stopped, REV and FLX while it plays. A roll and REV together keep Flux Mode on; PLAY shows the flux arrow.
• Hold LOOP on a playing deck and the hot cues become eight loop rolls, 1/32 to 4 beats: touch to roll, slide to change the size, lift and the track is where it would have been. Swipe down on LOOP to keep the rolls on screen, up to bring the hot cues back. Flux Mode off ends a held roll or REV.
• While LOOP is held, the deck name becomes ← and →: tap to jump by the loop size, hold to keep moving.
• A loop set from LOOP stays set with Flux Mode on. A loop shorter than a beat is a roll too.
• Swipe a deck's name button toward the screen edge to go back to Home.
• Delete a hot cue: hold the deck name, then hold the red DEL.
• On an expanded deck, hold the page you're on, or KILLS on a Track deck, to reach the kills.
• A phase bar over the deck name shows a playing deck drifting from the tempo master.
• The active Mixer FX slot reads FLTR.
• KEY: tap to step a semitone, two-finger tap to reset. Double-tap no longer resets it.
• Double-tap SYNC to snap the deck's beat phase onto the master's.
FREEZE
• Now also brings back each FX unit's effect, HOLD and a reversed gesture loop, sending only what changed.
• Leaves the Loop Recorder's size and recording alone.
• A held loop roll freezes its deck: move KEY, VOL or the filter and they come back when the roll ends.
TRAKTOR HOLDS THE STATE
• A button lights when Traktor confirms it, so the iPad shows what Traktor is doing. With no computer, taps light nothing.
• Beside BPM the header names what's in the way: NOT CONNECTED, NO TRAKTOR or NOT SYNCED.
• Back in the app, it catches up with Traktor by itself. SYNC now only handles Traktor's clock.
HINTS AND HEADER
• Rest a finger on a control and the header names its hidden gestures. Settings → Show hints turns them off.
• Touch the tempo strip and Traktor's clock takes charge, so the bend always lands.
LOOP RECORDER
• Hold SIZE for the next smaller and larger length. Changing the size clears the take.
SMOOTHER AND STEADIER
• The screen stays awake while the app runs.
• Opening the app no longer stops other apps' music.
• All four FX units stay smooth played at once.
• VoiceOver reads the PLAY buttons.
