Remix Decks let you go from enhancing your traditional DJ sets with triggered sounds to creating entire sets based solely around loops and samples.

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.
