In this video tutorial, Dubspot Intructor Mike Henderson a.k.a DJ Endo explores the creative possibilities of the F1 and new features in the updated Traktor software.
Native Instruments has changed the DJ Game once again with Traktor 2.5 and their brand new controller, the Traktor Kontrol F1.
In past versions of Traktor you could use the sample decks to create and play one shots and loops in Traktor's dedicated sample decks. Now in Traktor 2.5, you can take playing and creating samples to a whole new level with Traktor's brand new Remix Decks.
The Traktor Kontrol F1 controller was made to have total control over Traktor's remix decks. Whether you're a producer looking for new ways to play your tracks and stems live, or if you're a loopoholic DJ who likes to cut the best parts out of their tracks and remix them live, or a turntablist who wants to trigger and scratch their samples live, the F1 is ready to meet all of your needs. The controller itself is the same size as the Traktor Kontrol X1 and will make for a nice add on controller in your DJ setup.
The new Remix Decks in Traktor 2.5 allow you to store up to 64 samples, whether they are Loops, One shots or even whole tracks into one deck! To take things even further, you can now save what are called "Remix Sets" so you can quickly and easily save and recall your groups of samples. You can also obtain or buy Remix Sets to add to your DJ arsenal.

Yeah 2020 and I’ve finally got one and this is by far the best video to help with the hardware.
me too
I bought this back in 2013. Nice hardware. I was wondering if I can just play around using the f1 only solo without the controller
Same, just grabbed the s4 mk3 also 👊
Thank you! 🙏
im finding the pads so resistant like tough to push down compared to say the Korg nanocontrol etc. is this normal?? i got 2 on ebay want to resell them
The best video on this device by far, many thanks.
Thank you Endo, I appreciate the feedback and keep the videos coming!
You the man, Endo. Thanks for all your comprehensive walk-throughs.
Astonished Mike!
You show the real F1 & Remix Decks potential, great job.

Awesome Tutorial
DEFINITELY plan on getting this to pair with my S2. Looks like it really completes the setup and gives so much more versatility than with the S4 alone.
Very Nice Tutorial and i admire all of you people that can understand all this technical stuff...i'm old school and have a hard time with computers etc... so i will stick with my CDJ 1000 MK3's and my Mighty Hand Made E&S DJR 400 Analog Rotary Mixer !! Cheers
Glad you like, and thanks for watching!
great tutorial! thank you
Awesome Tutorial (Y)
Thanks a lot Dubspot ;)

Oh now your showing of Endo, just watched the whole video of the chain bro.... Think i'm going to start saving my best samples per track in each slot like you have, nice one
Now this video is awesome thank you for all the info
We are working on getting F1's for all of the stations at Dubspot and will be incorporating it into our class as soon as we get them!
amazing mapping !
Thank you, I'll try it right away.
thank you for these videos
Really good tutorial, thx.
amazing tutorial
That was super helpful thanks
yup about to get this. traktor for life!
Thank's a lot!!! Well explained, easy to understand!!
Very clear. Fantastic Job! well done!!!!!
Yes you can combine all of your gear. The setup and configuration will be different depending on what soundcard / mixer you use but you can control decks a + b with the midi controller, deck C can be maschine and Deck D can be the F1. You would just have to configure your audio outputs. Remember you can share the same audio output with 2 or more decks if you need to (example - sharing maschine and the F1 onto one channel, or even sharing both w/ a deck channel if you have 2 channel mixer)
AWESOME!!!!! Best Tutorial so far. Hans down. Thx
Thanks, Walter! Much respect.
Great video Mike! You have me sold :D
nice work!
This thing is a BEAST!
Thanks for the video mate, very basic and informative.
just got my F1 in the mail. cant wait to plug her in tonight
I need this in my life now
This is brilliant!! Thanks a lot!!
Endo was a bit tired, love these tutorials, i think you to be a geek these days to be a good DJ/Controllerist
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much, you made it look so simple compared to the manual.
Top stuff. Making some really decent mashes with this thing now.
OMG DJ Endo u don't stop giving well done that man, yuou must know you keeping giving and it comes back to you, great video just got my two and got a bit stuck this video helps. My Podcast is of the chain now, I will email you links via Facebook this weekend once I have done my 1st F1 Mix!! Will check back in 24hrs...
Thanks! For the video & the full answer!
thx, very useful. might have to get one
Thanks it work fine !! Great support !
Perfect!! The best tutorial!!
Thank you!
Awesome video. Thank you. I was wondering if I should buy and F1 and now I'm just bursting with ideas on how to use it. =)
Dubspot will be adding the Kontrol F1 to our in class curriculum soon!
Nice Tutorial 100%
Yes, you can switch between controlling the remix decks by holding Shift and turning the browse knob. This will switch between controlling decks C & D (for example). You can use one controller for all 4 remix decks.
Totally subscribed now....I think that it is a MUST for every DJ...D.J Endo should be working on Apple's tutorials !!
awesome video!!!!!!!
Yes absolutely. This will give you FULL control over the remix decks and every single feature in the Remix Decks. The S4 / S2 are limited as to how much control you have over the Remix Decks. The F1 would make a good add on to your S2/S4 setup.
This is very useful info!! Cool,
You do not need a 4 channel mixer to use the Remix Decks, in fact in preferences - output routing you can COMBINE multiple decks onto one channel. So you can combine the Remix Deck (C) onto the same channel as track Deck A and the Remix Deck (D) on the same channel as track Deck B.
You can actually capture loops from your own music for using in the Remix Decks. Try taking a track, loading it into a deck, set a loop in the deck, then click and drag on the decks header (where the track title is displayed) and drag the deck down to a remix deck slot. Traktor will take the loop and copy it into the remix deck slot. Once the sample has played 3 times in the remix deck, that loop will be saved to your all samples folder and you can use it at any time.
thx mate exelent tutorial for an oldschool dj ;-)
very good video it help a lot with setup lol
Great tutorial Endo!
When can we expect tutorials on the Track Overlay functions? No one seems to have any videos out there yet or talk about it.
Great, now I've got to get a pair...
Yes, you can use the F1 in conjunction with any controller or soundcard. It acts as an add on to your current DJ setup.
You can turn key lock on by hovering your mouse over the three yellow lines above the waveform. The Music Note icon is Key Lock. Also you can turn on Key Lock on the F1 hardware by holding Shift and turning on the pads in the Keylock column
Yes if you follow this video you should be able to pick it up quickly. It makes a nice add on to the DDJ Ergo and will work just fine with it.
YEA have to agree best so far thanks for your hard work
Hey man, great question. The way to do this is you can right click (or ctrl click on mac) on a single file or a selected list of files in the explorer (in Traktor) and choose "Import to collection" - arrow over to where it says "Import as Looped Sample" and this will make all of your samples loops and should save the info to the file as well if you load it later on in the explorer.
The way I did my custom F1 mapping is I colored all of the LED's in the controller editor application (applications / native instruments / controller editor). In this app you can choose what color each pad is in the off state and on state by double clicking the pad, choosing the "assign" tab, choose LED on "For Midi In", and choose Mode "Gate", Type "Note" and then select Color Mode "Dual" and set the Color On and Color off to whatever color you would like. Then in Traktor you would map LED out
Thank you!!! I will check it. ;)
sweet tutorial
Thanks for tuning in
Yes, if you hold shift and push the Browse button the F1 will go into MIDI mode where you can MIDI map any of the buttons or faders to control any software parameters in whatever program you're using.
Heya Mike.
I wasn't sure which one to get next to my Hercules DJ Console 4-MX mixer.
I was in doubt between the X1 and the F1.
Now I know which one it'll be. The F1 :D (somewhere in August or so).
Thanks for the kick ass tutorial !
Thank you!
Nice very well done :)
Thanks man!
Hello! I need help!!
I spend 2 hours making a remix set yesterday into the f1 then I saved it. Today I go into traktor and the remix is there but when I try load into the remix deck it says that the samples are not supported!!! So it can't open them! I checked into the original folder and all the files are there and are wave files. Help please! :(
Can I ask if you can add effects on top of remix decks?? For e.g. beatmash a loop coming from the remix deck???
There's so many different options you can do as far as setup goes depending on if your using an external mixer or Traktors internal mixer. I would personally suggest getting an audio 6 or 10 and also getting the X1 (for DJing) and F1 for using with the Remix Decks. Or you can get the S2 or S4 as your mixer / soundcard and F1 for controlling the Remix Decks.
