Native Instruments has announced the launch of Traktor MX2 – a two-channel DJ controller. MX2 combines a streamlined layout with powerful performance tools and a high-quality built-in audio interface for DJs at any stage. The controller also includes the full version of Traktor Pro 4 software and a two-month Beatport Streaming trial for new customers.
Traktor MX2 allows users to instantly create drops, buildups, and transitions with a single dial. With more than 40 studio-grade effects, DJs can layer, stretch and transform sounds in real time across two assignable FX units.
Four versatile pad modes unlock new creative possibilities. Users can jump to peak moments, skip breakdowns, or trigger drops with a single press, flux loops add energy that stays in sync,
pattern player turns the pads into a step sequencer to programme hi-hats, snares, or percussive fills on the fly and stems can split tracks into vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to remix live and create unexpected blends.
The illuminated bottom shell on the Traktor MX2 warns when a track is running out or looping and customisable pad colours allow personalisation of the setup. Two touch-sensitive jog wheels provide precision control for nudging, scratching, and scrolling, with both Turntable and Jog modes.
MX2 delivers high-fidelity 24-bit/96kHz audio through its built-in interface. Powered by iZotope’s Ozone Maximizer in Traktor Pro 4, DJ mixes stay distortion-free. MX2 also comes free with a two-month Beatport Streaming subscription for new customers, with access to millions of club-ready tracks.
