KONTROL-F1 NATIVE INSTRUMENT DJ MIDI CONTROLLER

The Native Instrument Kontrol F1, is a unique remix MIDI Controller that allows any user to create their owns beats, loops and samples "on-the-fly". This device adds a whole new dimension to a DJs skill set and can be connected in series with any Kontrol device for a powerful setup as used by Luciano at Pacha in Ibiza.

TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 is the definitive hardware for controlling the powerful Remix Decks™ in TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 – the flagship DJ software included with the F1. Finally, you can launch clips in a perfectly intuitive, DJ-centric way – control Remix Decks just like regular track decks, switching between up to 64 tracks, loops and one-shot samples on each deck. With your signature sound at your fingertips, it’s time to blur the line between DJing and live performance.

Get started in seconds – the KONTROL F1 includes around 1.4 GB of premium grade sound, pre-loaded as Remix Sets. Or you can import your own samples, and even capture loops and sounds live, using the controller’s stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders. Expand the creative potential of any TRAKTOR set-up – with or without timecode vinyl – and transform your DJ set into a dynamic live performance.

Main Features

OPTIMIZED TO PERFORM 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 color 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.

To fully harness the Remix Decks, TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 is the ultimate controller. Designed in tandem with the Remix Deck concept, the stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders make performing with TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 easy and incredibly addictive.

Any sound or loop can be assigned one of 16 colors, either in the software or via the controller – super-tight integration means the other instantly follows suit. With full visual feedback keeping you in control of your performance, there’s no need to keep checking your computer screen – leaving you free to focus on the crowd.
