it's coming very soon, but the likelihood is that what francois was
doing was using decks and traktor concurrently. correct, traktor does
not incorporate turntables but you can control it with a regular
hardware dj mixer. according to hawtin it's "impossible" that francois
was using an osx version of FS just yet.
another quasi-possibility is that he was actually using FS but under a
full linux distribution on mac hardware. this is at least possible at
this point, albeit a pain in the ass. if you were geeky enough to
really know your way around linux it could happen -- people have been
able to get it to run on linux-only PCs, rather than using the embedded
linux install solution that currently comes with FS. it involves
plenty of configuration and kernel weirdness however, and i've never
heard of anyone trying it on any of the mac-friendly linux distros.

Could've been Traktor.
There's a few dj's who are using it these days.
Similar to FS but different.
