Native Instruments

The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 is a compact DJ controller designed for live remixing and creative performance using Traktor's Remix and Stem Decks. It features 16 RGB-backlit pads that trigger loops, one-shots, and samples, providing visual feedback to indicate their status. The controller includes four faders and filter knobs, each dedicated to a Remix Deck channel, allowing for precise control over individual elements. Additionally, the F1 offers a dual-function encoder knob for browsing and selecting samples, as well as mode buttons that enable different control modes when combined with the Shift button. It operates via USB 2.0, requiring no additional power supply, and is compatible with Traktor Pro 2.5 or later. The F1 can function in Native Instruments' proprietary NHL (Native Host Language) mode for deeper integration with Traktor, or in standard MIDI mode for broader compatibility with other software.
