Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1

The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 is a deck controller for Native Instruments Traktor. It does come with DJ Software, the thing that I like about getting some Native Instruments gear is that it does not come with software that is not good. You will love the Pro DJ Software that comes with the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 it is very easy to understand and use even if it is your first time you will have no problems setting up the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1. The learning curve with it is very small and you will be using it like a pro within a few days (depending on how many hours you spend with it). Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 cost 250 dollars which is a decent price for this controller and software. All 16 pads and knobs are made well, they will last you a long time as long as you are not extremely rough with it.
If you are already a Pro DJ Software user then you must go out and get the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1. It is a must have for that software, I have not tried to run this controller in any other software but since it is just a controller it should not be too difficult setting it up in a different DJ software if you choose not to use it with Pro DJ (the software that comes with it).
The controller has no inputs or outputs on it, there are also no onboard effects either. So this unit is useless without software to assign it too. There is also no cross fader on it, which could be a deal breaker depending on what exactly it is that you want. Native Instruments has been coming out with some of the best hardware and software integrated devices with all of the Traktor Kontrols and the Maschines. If you want to stay on top of the technology turn then the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 is the way to go.

Buy new at Terre De Son in Lille there is less than a month.

I have a Traktor Kontrol S4 and X1 Mk2.

The ideal composition for Remix Decks TP2:

- A filter section and fader for each slot,
- The 16 RGB pads for easy reference samples (+ assignable colors)
- Section for loading remix sets and control of all options (sample type, reverse, sample size, pitch, speed ...).

Easy for basic commands but very complete: everything is controllable from this small interface after a period of adaptation.

F1 can also be used in the manner of a X1 (Native Instrument gives you an Track Deck Overlay for assigning buttons).

For those who do not use the decks remix, go your way. For others, do not hesitate one second.
