    Yes there are some controllers that can do this, however with Traktor that selection is pretty much limited to the Traktor Control S4.

    With Serato you have several options, for example if you want all in one: Pioneer DDJ-SX2
    If you want compact and small, but without jogs the new Akai controllers come to mind.
    If you want mobile with DVS, the Denon MC6000 Mk II can do it.

    You can check out this page how it works:

    No Terry it’s not limited to the S4, you can’t even use it with DVS…
    For Traktor you’ll either need a certified mixer (Z2, some Pioneer ones, etc) or a certified soundcard (audio 6, audio 10) to use DVS. Are you really using Scratch Duo? That’s pretty old software.
    With Serato you have indeed more options. Cross DJ can also do DVS and you can use pretty much any DVS hardware with it.

    If your read the OP correctly (and Terry’s answer), he wants to know if there is a CONTROLLER that he can use solo with Traktor for smaller gigs and then hook up TTs to and use as DVS setup.

    Terry is right in that there are hardly any controllers left that are both Traktor certified AND support DVS in the controller.
    Of course you can make any controller that has line inputs work with DVS by adding a Traktor certified external soundcard, but that is not what the question was. Even then, the way technology stands today, it’s still your best bet to get Native Instruments controllers when you want to use Traktor as the integration (especially jogwheel) is better than with third party controllers.

    Also, but I am not sure, I believe that you get the full version of Traktor Scratch with a new S4. So he can indeed toss his old duo software and trade up.

    You can use the S4 with DVS Marco, you just need to buy the Traktor Scratch upgrade kit for S4.
    And to my knowledge this is the only controller that this upgrade is sold for.

    Alright, I stand corrected.
