Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 MK3 Compact DJ Controller

If you’re DJing with Traktor, then we don’t have to tell you how powerful of a tool it is to introduce unbridled musicality, performance features, FX, and more to immensely elevate your DJ set. This is why Native Instruments has crafted a long-awaited redux for their turntable-less controller: the Kontrol X1 Mk3. This DJ controller module has been tailored for use with Traktor Pro DJ software, ensuring deep integration with the full suite of Traktor’s menagerie of musical manipulation tools. DJs at Music Bliss appreciate the quality-of-life improvements introduced with the X1 Mk3, including extensive color-coding options, tactile surface markers, and an expanded connectivity suite to seamlessly slot in with turntable controllers, custom arrays, and even daisy-chained additional X1s. And did we mention that Traktor Pro DJ software is included with the X1? Newcomers and veterans alike will get the unbridled Traktor treatment right out of the box. While the X1 is a fantastic supplement to turntable-based arrangements, don’t misunderstand: the Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk3 is a bona fide controller that can command your entire set by itself!
