has launched the Traktor Z1 MK2 – the next generation of its popular DJ mixer controller and soundcard – with improved features for a sleeker performance, plus enhanced audio capabilities, and OLED displays. NI says the new Traktor builds on its predecessor, and is the ideal for both new and established DJs who need “high-quality, tactile control” without a bulky unit. It’s suitable for home mixing, casual events, and more advanced modular setups.
There are three high-resolution OLED displays in total to show essential mixing information, with the aim of reducing the need to constantly check your laptop. A new dedicated stem control section also offers “precise” volume control over individual stems so you can create more dynamic and creative mixes. Its Mixer FX Section delivers one-knob control over a selection of nine effects including filter, reverb, delay, and a gater, so you can add effects to tracks in real-time.
The Z1 MK2 also features a new transparent undershell with functional lighting, allowing you to customise its LED colours. If desired, you can pair it up with other Traktor gear too.
