Native Instruments Traktor Z1

Native Instruments has launched the Traktor Z1 MK2, the latest evolution of its popular DJ mixer controller and soundcard. This new version is designed for high performance while remaining compact, making it perfect for everything from home mixing to casual gigs and even more advanced setups.


The Z1 MK2 builds on its predecessor’s success with a sleek, modern design and improved features, including vibrant OLED displays and enhanced audio capabilities. Whether a budding DJ or a seasoned pro, this mixer controller offers the tactile control you need without the bulk of larger setups.


What’s New in the Z1 MK2?


  • Traktor Pro 4 Software: The latest version of Traktor Pro 4, which features powerful stem separation and mastering tech from iZotope, a built-in drum machine, and flexible beat grids that make switching between tempos and genres a breeze, is included with the Z1 MK2.

  • Bright OLED Displays: Three high-resolution OLED displays provide all the essential mixing information at a glance, so you won’t have to constantly look back at your laptop.

  • Stem Control Layer: The new dedicated stem control section lets you fine-tune the volume of individual stems, giving you the freedom to create more dynamic mixes.

  • Mixer FX Section: With intuitive one-knob control over nine effects - like filter, reverb, delay, and gater - adding flair to your tracks in real-time is easier than ever.

  • Four-Deck Control: Want to expand your performance? The Z1 MK2 allows you to control up to four decks in Traktor Pro 4, providing endless creative possibilities.

  • Stylish Modern Design: With a transparent undershell and customizable LED lighting, the Z1 MK2 can be customized to your liking.


The Z1 MK2 is crafted for all DJs, from those just starting out to those looking for a powerful, portable controller. It has a user-friendly layout with two-channel volume sliders, a crossfader, three-band EQ, and dedicated mixer effects controls. Plus, setting up with Traktor Pro 4 is a snap - perfect for when you’re ready to get into the mix.
