The updated version of the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 packs all the essential controls you need to manipulate two decks and two Traktor FX units into one elegantly simple device. A complete set of touch-sensitive browser and loop controls provide you with tons of performance options, and the Traktor Kontrol X1's RGB-backlit cue point trigger buttons let you instantly identify cue points. On top of that, there's an innovative touch strip controller onboard that makes it super easy to scan through tracks, plus it gives you fine control over parameters such as pitch bending and FX.

When you're in the middle of a set, the last thing you want to worry about are buttons that slip under your fingers or knobs that fall off in your hand. With its precision buttons, robust knobs, and grip-able touch-sensitive encoders, the Traktor Kontrol X1 takes all the anxiety out of DJing with a lightweight controller. Native Instruments even built the Traktor Kontrol X1's housing out of super-durable aluminum and they sized it to fit right along with the rest of your rig. And with advanced 7-segment displays, RGB LED backlighting, and LED indicators on the multi-purpose touch strip, you can always tell at a glance what's going on in your mix.

Whether you're a 100% in-the-box DJ or using an advance setup for Traktor Scratch, from the moment you connect your Traktor Kontrol X1 to your Mac or Windows PC, you'll be up and running. It truly is a plug-and-play device. What's more, the Traktor Kontrol X1 plays well with other Traktor gear. You can pair it up with a second X1 controller for a total of four decks worth of control, or expand your system with Traktor Kontrol F1 remix controllers or a Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer. On top of that, Native Instruments will give you a $50 voucher when you register your Traktor Kontrol X1, so you can start building up your system right away.

As of Traktor 2.11, you can experience the collaborative freedom of Ableton Link. Lock multiple systems to a common timeline. Change tempo globally across systems. Enjoy spontaneous jamming, collaborative creation, and synchronized performances. This is a free update for Traktor 2.x owners.
