Native Instruments - TRAKTOR KONT F1

Description

Unleash your creativity. TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 delivers hands-on, live remixing with TRAKTOR's integrated Stem Decks and clip-based Remix Decks.

The TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 hardware is optimized to provide dedicated hands-on control of an entire Remix Deck with access to the 64 loops and samples which can be loaded, arranged and mixed via the hardware.

The pads in the bottom third of the controller trigger 16 loops or samples. You can load up to 64 audio clips into a Remix Deck - use the rotary encoder to page between groups of 16. Communication with the software works seamlessly both ways - change the colour of a pad via the hardware and the software will follow suit instantly and vice versa so you can always see exactly what's going on.

MIXING
4 dedicated filter knobs, one per Remix Deck slot or Stem part. Plus 4 robust faders deliver precision volume control for individual Remix Deck or Stem Deck channels.

GLOBAL
Load entire Remix Sets instantly or browse and load individual sounds or Stem files from TRAKTOR's browser. Scroll through 4 pages of 16 pads with the push encoder. Capture loops live from running track decks.

CREATIVE
Trigger Remix Deck loops and samples with 16 multi-colored pads. Pressing the Shift button accesses functions like Punch mode and FX assignments. The smaller pads at the bottom mute a slot or stem. And keep watch on your Stems' volume - the pads act as level meters for a loaded Stem file.

STEMS-READY
TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 is the gateway to mixing with Stems - the open, multi-channel audio format for creative DJing. A Stem file contains a track split into four musical elements - bass, drums, vocals, and melody, for example. With each element available independently, you can create spontaneous edits, mash-ups, instrumentals, and more.

Bring track elements in and out of the mix with the F1's volume faders, buttons, and filter knobs. Get detailed with effects using 16 colour-coded pads. All while watching your Stems levels in real-time - the pads light-up as level meters for each stem.
