Or mix on-the-go with TRAKTOR DJ – the world's favorite DJ software app for iPad and iPhone made for hands-on tactile DJing with iOS hand gestures you already know.

These new products are accompanied by a refresh of Sounds.com, the expansion of Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) to include loops and samples, and tighter integration of Sounds.com with updated Maschine and Komplete Kontrol software – further integrating NI’s connected ecosystem of creative tools into one seamless workflow. With some of Native Instruments lowest price points and most user-friendly products to date, these releases mark another major milestone in the company’s journey towards making musical creativity more intuitive and accessible to all. New starting points for producers and DJs For producers, the release includes new hardware and software in the Komplete range. A new 32-key portable keyboard, Komplete Kontrol M32, is designed to provide the same hands-on workflow and comprehensive Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) integration as the S-Series and A-Series controllers, but with a smaller footprint and a lower price point.

Available in March ($129 USD/119 EUR), the M32 comes with everything a new producer needs to sketch out, tweak, and finalize a track. The package includes Maschine Essentials, Ableton Live 10 Lite, NI’s acclaimed Monark synthesizer, and more. The M32 is joined by Komplete Audio 1 and 2 – the first two offerings in a new range of slick, easy-to-use audio interfaces. Both are available from March 19 ($109 USD/99 EUR and $139 USD/129 EUR, respectively) and offer pristine sound quality with different in/out connection options.

The interfaces include a generous software package, featuring synths, effects, Maschine Essentials, and Ableton Live 10 Lite – again providing everything a producer needs to create full tracks from start to finish. Komplete Audio 1 and 2 will also be welcomed by a wide community of singer-songwriters, YouTubers, podcasters, and gamers looking for great sound. Now everyone can explore the acclaimed sound of NI’s Komplete production suites, with the introduction of Komplete Start – an entirely free collection featuring 15 studio-quality instruments, 2 effects, and a best-of selection of nearly 1,500 loops and samples from Expansions sound packs. Included is the floor-shaking low-end of TRK-01 Bass, the vibrant synth sounds of Mikro Prism, and expertly-crafted sampled instruments ranging from electric pianos to drum machines. The collection also includes creative sound design tools, essential effects like the Supercharger tube compressor, and more. For DJs, NI lifts the lid on Traktor DJ 2: A new version of Traktor designed to work with iPad, PC, and Mac, both standalone and with the recently released Traktor Kontrol S2 controller. Geared towards DJs of all levels – whether at home, on stage, or on the move – Traktor DJ 2 features smart track recommendations, an easy-to-learn workflow, and integration with a vast online library of tracks via SoundCloud GO+.

The app is built on an entirely new code base, and is the first Traktor software designed for both iOS and desktop environments. This not only brings a new look and feel to Traktor’s professional DJ software, but also allows NI’s developers to expand the platform over time. Traktor DJ 2 will be available to purchase in Spring 2019 via the NI Online Shop and the Apple App Store (49 USD/EUR). It will also be included with new purchases of Traktor Kontrol S2, and made available as a free download for current users of the Mk3 S2.
