Dear Native Instruments customer,
Thank you for purchasing the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1, and for your continued trust in Native
Instruments products.
The TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 is a dedicated add-on software controller, specifically designed
for using the TRAKTOR Remix Decks. The TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 offers the best possible
level of control over the Remix Decks, allowing you to quickly load, set up, and tweak Remix
Sets. Even more importantly, the F1 gives you complete performance control over the Remix
Decks so that you can create and modify remixes on-the-fly as you are playing your set in front
of an audience.

Whereby the TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 and TRAKTOR KONTROL D2 controllers are specially
designed for Stem Deck control, the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 controller brings the basic con-
trols which are required for controlling a Stem Deck as well. This enables Stem Deck control
also for TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 users.
For more information on how to control a Stem Deck using the F1 controller, refer to chapter
