Native Instruments DJ Controllers

The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z2 is a DJ mixer and controller that has a 24 bit audio interface and comes with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 Software. This interface and software combo is very good because there really is no set up process involved. It pretty much is just plug and play. The price of this system/set up is higher than most of the other similar set ups that are out costing more than 800 dollars but it is well worth that amount of money because of the quality and features that it delivers. UTILIZATION Setting up the Kontrol Z2 is pretty simple because it comes with the instructions that can walk you through the whole process easily. This whole system is very professional, I have used it for paid gigs many times and for a while it was my main set up before I switched. The K2 has XLR outputs and it is great for working with vinyl, CD’s or playing files from any source. SOUNDS It comes with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 which is ready to be synced with iTunes to give you easy control over finding and working with all of your music. The BPM or beat detection is very good and accurate; I suggest any DJ take a look at this set up because it can make your job a lot easier. OVERALL OPINION There is a multi colored remix deck trigger button and LED loop display. No matter what your lighting situation is you will be able to see what you are doing and navigate through anything quickly. This whole hardware unit is made out of aluminum chassis and has a high quality build to it that I expect could last a very long time. The Z2 is very heavy duty; it has onboard effects and can be used as a standalone mixer. There really isn’t much that this system cannot do. There are a total of 5 stereo RCA inputs and 2 XLR with 2 RCA outputs. There are no platters on this unit but it does have 8 multi colored pads and triggers with 2 volume faders.

What I like most about it is the high quality provided by Native Instruments and the great sync with Traktor. Some of the great features of this products are: Four Stereo Channels , a great and complex loop Recorder , I also like the high Quality 3-band EQ, Filters, and Level Control for every single chanel. What I love about this product in particular , are the advanced filters that provide a wide control over a certain frequency. There is another detail that makes a huge difference which is the possibility to connect certain hardwares as well. The sounds and quality of this product is high, this product can be handled and used as well by some pro's or even someone that is quite new regarding mixing and re-sampling. The product can be bought on net for about 900 $ , but the product deserves every penny, and if you're an aspiring musician or dj you should check this product. The powerful mixing selection makes the mixing process even more creative and at the same keep it simple , one of the genius characteristics of this product. Perfection and high top quality of appears to be is fairly much ideal, this foundation is very useful in combining some awesome sounds to get something completely unique, the design is also extremely appealing , so if you have the money and you want something that works great, looks good, this is your choice.
