Our verdict

A portable two channel controller with full Traktor software, stem remixing and a built-in drum sequencer for DJs from first mixes to club gigs. It has two channels only, so four deck mixing is out.

Overview

Native Instruments built this Traktor controller around a club style two channel mixer and ships it with the full flagship Traktor software. Sixteen color pads isolate drums, bass, instruments and vocals in Stems mode, or switch to a step sequencer that layers synced drum patterns.

Creative tools at a starter friendly size are why to buy it, from stem remixing to a built-in pattern player. It is limited to two channels, and only a two month Beatport trial is included for streaming.

Who it's for

Bedroom DJs moving toward gigs, and mobile DJs who want a light rig with a mic input, are the audience. Club DJs who need four channels or standalone play without a laptop should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full Traktor software included
  • Stem separation for live remixes
  • Built-in pattern player
  • Mic input on board
Cons
  • Only two channels
  • Needs a computer
  • Care and warranty not listed

Performance notes

Stem control relies on the software splitting tracks into parts, which the pads then mute or blend in real time. Jog wheels in turntable mode act like vinyl for scratching, while jog mode nudges tempo. The built-in interface sends audio straight to speakers without an extra sound card.
