Traktor Pro 4 included

The full version of NI’s critically acclaimed professional DJ software comes included. MX2 gets you hands-on with everything, including beat matching, looping, and powerful multi-effect chains. It can take you way beyond the basics and transform the way you mix and remix.

Instinctive mixing

No matter how dark the party, MX2’s channel faders, with VU meters, offer clear visual feedback while balancing your tracks. The crossfader and three-band EQs are laid out to let you intuitively feel your way around.

Extra sensitive jog wheels

Nudge, scratch, and scroll with jog wheels. They’re ideal for beatmatching tracks, finding your starting position, or spinning it back for rewinds. And they’re made to match your spinning with Turntable and Jog modes.

Find tracks fast

Find what you need in the heat of the moment with dedicated controls for pre-listening, browsing favorites, adding tracks to a prep list, and easily switching to full-screen browse view.

Beatport streaming

MX2 comes free with a two-month Beatport Advanced subscription for new customers, so you can start DJing in seconds without a full downloaded library. Choose from millions of club-ready tracks, all ready to mix. And with Beatport previews, you can browse curated playlists and hear the track without logging in.

Sonic excellence

From free jazz in Osaka to baile funk in Rio – wherever and whatever you’re DJing, Traktor has you covered with high-fidelity sound output that works for every genre. It’s trusted by pros for streaming, street parties, and club nights. And with iZotope’s award-winning Ozone Maximizer built in, every track stays loud and proud without distortion.

Mixer FX

For the moments that matter, the MX2 features dedicated dials, letting you instantly apply filters or effects to individual channels.  Drive the dancefloor forward with drops, buildups, and smooth transitions, or switch it up by reaching for iconic Traktor reverb, creative delays, and more. 

Two full deck FX units

Push things further and break the mold with deep effects control. Deck FX gives you the tools to shape individual parameters or layer them for dramatic impact. Take your tracks into new territory with iconic Traktor reverb, time-stretching algorithms, creative delays, and more. With over 40 options across four assignable effect processors, you can twist, tweak, and transform your sound in real time.

Pattern Player

Get physical with Trakor’s built-in drum machine. Pattern Player lets you trigger synced rhythmic patterns using different percussion kits, adding grooves, fills, and textures, on top of your mix.

Performance pad modes

MX2’s 16 color-customisable pads add even more expression and flexibility. Switch between four physical modes for some of Traktor's best features:

Hotcue mode

Hotcues are your launchpad – add drops, trigger breakdowns, or rewind to that peak moment in an instant. They let you jump to key points in a track so you can bring your vision to life and take the crowd on a journey.  

Stem mode

Traktor Pro 4’s stem separation lets you precisely isolate and split tracks into drums, bass, instruments, and vocals. MX2’s stem mode means you can mix and edit them on the fly. Blend parts from tracks you know to create tracks you didn’t – all in the heat of the moment. On the MX2, stems become instruments: mute, unmute, filter out, and push volumes to sculpt your sound.

Step sequencer mode

Go even deeper with Traktor’s 16 drum kits. This mode transforms the 16 pads into a step sequencer that you can program live to layer custom grooves into your set. Bend rhythm to inject more energy and move the floor.

Flux loops mode

Keep your track going or build energy before a drop. The pads make it easy to create loops without interrupting the track flow and to jump right back to where you left off.

Visual feedback

Stay on top with a light-based system that lets you know when a track is about to run out or if it’s looping.

Color-coded buttons

Navigate your setup instinctively, no matter how low the lighting. Assign your own colors to match your flow and make your setup look exactly the way you want.

Customizable interactions

Shape the system around your style. Choose exactly how buttons respond – trigger effects only while pressed, toggle on release, or lock them in with a tap.
