Native Instruments has announced the launch of Traktor MX2, a next-generation 2-channel DJ controller built for DJs at every level. MX2 combines a streamlined layout with powerful performance tools and a high-quality, built-in audio interface. MX2 puts everything the user needs at their fingertips, including the full version of Traktor Pro 4 software and a two-month Beatport Streaming trial for new customers.
A creative performance toolbox. Traktor MX2 gives DJs everything they need to express themselves and stand out with sound, rhythm, and effects:
- 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 percussion on the fly.
Stems – Split tracks into vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to remix live and create unexpected blends.
Light up your mixes. Even in the darkest booth, Traktor MX2 keeps you connected to your performance.
- 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.
Sound great anywhere. Wherever you play, from house parties to underground clubs, 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.
Beatport Streaming included. Traktor MX2 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.
Pricing and Availability. Native Instruments’s Traktor MX2 is available worldwide, and retails for ?€ 399 (MSRP) / US $449 (MSRP) / £ 349 (MSRP). Get all the details at www.native-instruments.com.
Looks hideous and cheap if I seen a DJ at a party using that I’d think they bought it from a toy shop. Fkn disgusting there midi keyboards are great why does there DJ gear look so cheap and nasty ???
It’s an entity level controller.
Nobody wants you to be at their parties with that shite attitude anyway.
Another Kids Toy from Naive Instruments.
Get a mobile layout, please. It feels like a website from 2001.
Considering NI has discontinued their flagship S6, and the S8 has been gone for a few years. They need a proper new flagship in order to full take advantage of their amazing Traktor software. We need an MX-8….
Seems NI looked everywhere and without knowing where to start to fix their mess, simply went “back to its roots” and rehashed their old Z1 and X1 controllers which sold very well back then. Problem is this aint 2013 anymore, their brand is in tatters, other companies have filled their position and people seems not trust nor care anymore.
Selling this thing along the similarly featured but way better looking S2 MK3 (which came out in 2018) for 100 quid less is going to confuse their targeted entry level audience into getting an EOL product.
NI needs a good product program manager.
Ok for people who can’t actually dj and don’t want to learn. Make something substantial without the daft jog wheels …. Stand alone hardware for eg. Machine for creative dj style performance rather than studio not tethered to a laptop. Maybe.
