Get instant access to 64 loops and samples in Traktor Pro, with a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1

The controls you need to take full advantage of Traktor Pro's Remix Decks

In Traktor Pro, Native Instruments advanced the concept they introduced with their Sample Deck format with the new Remix Deck. But instead of four loops or one-shot samples, Remix Decks give you access to 64 samples and loops, and your Traktor Kontrol F1 lets you take total control of them all! Remix Decks let you go from enhancing your traditional DJ sets with triggered sounds to creating entire sets based solely around loops and samples. What's more, you can pair your Traktor Kontrol F1 with time-code vinyl and combine the best of controllerism and turntablism into a single hybrid digital DJ rig.

Total Traktor integration and LED feedback make this a true plug-and-play controller

Here's the best part about adding a Traktor Kontrol F1 to your DJ rig: it's ready to fit into your workflow, right out of the box. No messing around with complicated drivers or spending hours tweaking a stock MIDI layout to fit your needs, Traktor Kontrol F1 instantly maps to Traktor Pro's Remix Decks. Even cooler, the Traktor Kontrol F1's buttons each feature RGB LED backlighting, so they change colors to reflect everything you do in your Remix Deck, making it super easy to learn how to use Remix Decks in your performances.

Stems format support offers even more performance options

Stems is a cool multitrack digital audio file format that's perfect for performing DJs. Unlike conventional WAV, AIF, or MP3 files, Stem files utilize the power of the MP4 format and AAC encoding to provide you with four sets of stereo audio you can mix, mute, and process independently. With software and DJ systems that support Stem files, such as Traktor Kontrol F1, you can grab the drums from one Stem, snag the bass line from another and put them together seamlessly in real time. Just like -infinity EQs, 4-deck setups, and Remix Decks revolutionized DJing, the Stem audio file format is bound to change the way you perform.
