Description
The Electrix Tweaker is a compact and portable performance controller for Traktor Pro 2. This versatile control surface is able to adapt to many situations and applications, whether in the studio, on stage, or in the DJ booth.
It features a wide variety of control elements, including multicolored soft-touch rubber buttons, velocity sensitive pads, push encoders with LED rings, faders, and more. The included removable legs elevate the unit to sit alongside (or on top of) traditional DJ gear, and make it easier to setup in small spaces.
Tweaker was developed in cooperation with Livid Instruments.
Control Your Performance
There are three mappings to choose from: Decks A/B, Remix Decks C/D, and a preparation mapping to speed up the process of preparing tracks and organizing your collection.

Track Preparation
Official Traktor Mapping
Traktor’s essential functions for DJing are assigned to the controller so you can start mixing records in minutes using just a Tweaker and your laptop. Most of the Tweaker’s control elements have multiple mapping layers, which makes it extremely versatile.
The mixer channels provide controls for playback, mixing, looping, track searching, EQing, filtering, and more. The velocity pads control individual effects with pressure sensitivity and aftertouch which allows for expressive control over the effects. The grid saves, triggers, and deletes hot cues and loops, which, together with the looping and moving controls assigned to the encoders, makes the Tweaker very handy for track preparation.
Traktor Remix Decks Mapping
This mapping controls Remix Decks C and D. It gives complete access to all the main features and settings of both remix decks, including triggering sample cells, mute, cell pages, sync, quantize, capture, pitch, reverse, cell types, and more. It also controls mixer channels 3 and 4, giving access to channel faders, EQs, filters, gain and monitoring, as well as file browsing and loading remix sets. Requires Traktor Pro 2.6.2 or higher.
Bright Multicolor Visual Feedback
The extensive visual feedback and colors let you know exactly what’s going on in your session. So you’ll spend less time squinting at the screen and more time interacting with the music. These LEDs shine so bright they can be seen across any venue and shine just as bright outdoors.
Compatibility & Customization
The Tweaker is USB class compliant, so it doesn’t require any drivers in OS X or Windows.
For those who like to get more out of their hardware, Tweaker is highly customizable. Whether you want to customize your Traktor setup, or want to use the Tweaker with other MIDI compatible software, the included editor software lets you edit and save all settings on the unit include pad sensitivity, LED ring modes, MIDI note and cc messages, encoder speeds, and more.
Additional mappings are also available including Ableton Live (8/9), Serato Scratch Live, Mixvibes Cross, and more. The recessed faceplate keeps overlays in tightly place during performances.
Portability
Tweaker measures roughly eleven inches square, weights around 5 pounds, and is fully USB powered. This makes it one of the most portable, versatile control surfaces out there. It fits in most DJ/Producer backpacks, and an optional custom molded EVA Durashock case is also available for additional protection.
