The Traktor Kontrol F1 has been making huge waves in the DJ performance world.

Native Instruments has heard everyone's remarks and has responded with a series of Traktor Kontrol F1 tutorial videos to help make the remix decks more accessible.

The Traktor Kontrol F1 has opened up lots of new and exciting possibilities when used with the new Traktor 2.5.1 Remix decks.
