Native Instruments' TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 is the ultimate controller for TRAKTOR PRO's stems Remix Decks. Finally, you can use Remix Decks just like standard track decks, flipping between up to 64 songs, loops, and one-shot samples on each deck. It's time to blur the lines between DJing and live action now that you have your signature sound at your fingertips.

Start mixing in seconds with the KONTROL F1, which comes pre-loaded with about 4 GB of high-quality sound in the form of Remix Sets. Alternatively, you can use the controller's sleek multi-colour pads and ergonomic faders to import your own samples and even trigger loops and sounds live. Expand the artistic ability of any TRAKTOR setup and transform your DJ set into a dynamic live show.

DJ community is at the heart of the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 workflow. Remix SetsTM, which are made up of your own loops and sounds, load in the super-powerful TRAKTOR PRO programme just like standard songs. And your drum loops, bass lines, drums, vocals, and lead sounds are all ready to use in your performance. Four volume faders and four dedicated filter knobs provide complete sonic access to the Remix Deck slots, and individual slots can be routed via TRAKTOR's FX units for added flavour.

Scratch your live output using Native Scratch timecode power, then mix and fade into a ‘traditional' track on another deck to combine traditional DJ workflow with the future of DJing. Simply load up the included sound library and dive into a new level of engagement with your music in seconds. The hardware and TRAKTOR PRO software work together to create a seamless experience. Advanced visual feedback complements the close integration: assign a sample a specific colour on the hardware, and the software will immediately match. The slim profile of the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 allows it to be used almost anywhere.

Connect it to your mixer and decks, or use several F1s to extend your controller setup – its intuitive feel and striking visual appearance are only balanced by its addictively enjoyable playability. The F1 kit includes about 4 GB of premium-grade loops and one-shot samples, making it Ready to Remix straight from the box. More than ten complete Remix Sets are included in this sound bundle, each jam-packed with inspiring, studio-quality content for enhancing your sets, jamming, and live remixing.
