Native Instruments has announced the launch of Traktor MX2, a next-generation 2-channel DJ controller. The MX2 combines a new streamlined layout with powerful performance tools and a high-quality built-in audio interface. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a portable setup that’s club-ready, MX2 puts everything you might need, including the full version of Traktor Pro 4 software and a two-month Beatport Streaming trial for new customers.
Traktor MX2 features:
- Mixer FX made simple – Instantly create drops, buildups, and transitions with a single dial. Nine one-knob effects, from filters to reverbs and delays, let you build tension and release with ease.
- Deck FX for deeper shaping – Take tracks into new territory with more than 40 studio-grade effects. Layer, stretch, or transform sounds in real time across two assignable FX units.
- 16 RGB performance pads – Four versatile pad modes unlock new creative possibilities:
- Hotcues – Jump to peak moments, skip breakdowns, or trigger drops with a single press.
- Flux Loops – Add energy with stuttered loops that stay in sync and return seamlessly to the flow.
- Pattern Player – Turn the pads into a step sequencer to program hi-hats, snares, or percussive fills on the fly.
- Stems – Split tracks into vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to remix live and create unexpected blends.
The illuminated bottom shell warns you when a track is running out or looping, so you’re always one step ahead.
Customizable pad colors let you personalize your setup to match your flow and stand out on stage.
Two touch-sensitive jog wheels provide precision control for nudging, scratching, and scrolling; with both Turntable and Jog modes.
The MX2 delivers high-fidelity 24-bit/96kHz audio through its built-in interface. Powered by iZotope’s Ozone Maximizer in Traktor Pro 4, your mixes stay punchy, polished, and distortion-free.
MX2 also comes free with a two-month Beatport Streaming subscription for new customers, so you can start DJing in seconds without building a downloaded library. Choose from millions of club-ready tracks, all ready to mix, with curated playlists and charts to spark inspiration.
