"The guys at Native Instruments have always known the deepest desires of their customers. The Audio Kontrol 1 just happens to be one of them. This box is simple. Balanced in, balanced out, one mic pre if you need it, and it comes with DJ software (Traktor), a vintage-style keyboard collection, guitar amp emulators, and Cubase LE.
