More controllers from Native Instruments, both the X1 - NI’s first Traktor controller - and the recently released F1 (pictured) are designed to control specific parts of the software only.

The X1 is mapped to Traktor’s effects section, while the F1 is the only MIDI controller currently available that gives full control over Traktor’s Sample Deck. Both are ideal for DJs using timecoded vinyl or CDs, who want plug and play access to Traktor’s deeper features.
