Next-Generation Deck
• Portable, Stems-ready deck for Traktor Pro
• Stunning high-res display keeps focus away from the laptop
• Touch-sensitive controls trigger pop-up views and panels

Future-Forward Deck Control
Traktor Kontrol D2 delivers portable, touch-and-see deck control designed for cutting-edge performance with Traktor Pro 2. A full-color display and touch-sensitive controls deliver responsive workflow for the uncompromising DJ. And full Stems integration provides the keys to a completely new way to DJ.

Full-Color Display
The high-res display on the D2 brings your music to life in living color. Browse tracks, effects and adjust filter values directly on the hardware. Your workflow is never interrupted - visually fine-tune and set beatgrids on a running track as it is appears on the display. The D2 keeps your focus on the music - not on your laptop.

A New Way to Play
Imagine workflow as effortless as instinct. Touch-sensitive knobs and faders activate Traktor views and functions on an ultra-crisp full-color display, keeping you in the moment - and connected with your crowd. Cue, nudge or get creative controlling effects and loop sizes - the D2's LED-guided touch strip lets you get physical.

Live Remixing and Beyond
Touch-responsive Remix and Stem Deck controls unlock the door to creativity - and your signature sound. Intuitively mix in sounds with 4+4 channel Remix faders. Plus, live-capture and trigger your own samples and loops using the 8 color-coded performance pads.

Or explore mixing with Stems - an open file format that makes mixing with individual musical elements of a track possible. Traktor Kontrol D2 is Stems-ready - among the first DJ controllers of its kind to offer mixing possibilities with the very DNA of your music.

Built for the Road
Pack-up and set-up in no time. Traktor Kontrol D2 was designed for enhanced deck control while on the road. The compact, rugged and lightweight build makes the D2 ideal for heavy touring - and your busy schedule.

Rubber-padded foldable feet raise the D2 to standard mixer height or at an angle for performance comfort. And additional USB ports on the rear panel plus an included power supply splitter cable let you chain two units together quickly and easily when hustling from gig to gig.

Stems-Ready
Stems is a completely new way to DJ. A Stem file is an open, multi-channel audio file that contains a track split into four musical elements - bass, drums, vocals and melody for example. With each element available independently, you can mix in ways that just weren't possible until now.

Create instant track edits, mash-ups, a cappellas and more by bringing different Stem parts in and out of the mix. And re-think the way you use effects - add effects to the vocals and leave the rest of the track dry, for example. Traktor Kontrol D2's hardware features are purpose-built for mixing with Stems.

Designed For Traktor Software
Traktor Kontrol D2 is built for seamless control of the included Traktor PRO 2 - the DJ software chosen by countless professionals worldwide. Get in-depth control of your music with up to four software decks, a customizable interface and advanced track library management.

Touch-sensitive knobs respond to activate the Browse View, plus filter, pitch and effect parameters on the display - keeping you in full control even in the heat of the night.

Smart Views
Traktor Kontrol D2's smart views and pop-up panels deliver dynamic visual feedback that's more than meets the eye. Browse your library, monitor effects, improvise on the fly and more at the touch of a button - and directly within view.

Performance Panels: Pop-up panels let you monitor and tweak track parameters like BPM, key and filter instantly.

Track Preparation
Tracks are ready to hit the dancefloor - anytime. The Beatgrid View instantly shows your grids on the display for easy editing directly from the D2. You can even set a new track's beatgrid in real time from the first play for when time's too short to prep your new favorite.

Creative Performance
Trigger cue points and loops with color-coded pads for instant creative editing. The colors match different hotcue types for easy recognition. Take a snapshot from a running track using the Freeze Button and slice it up with the performance pads. Or activate Flux Mode to juggle hotcues for spontaneous re-editing in time - every time.

Live Remixing
Let the crowd hear your signature sound - and your personality. Trigger sounds from the performance pads and mix them in with the deck faders. Capture loops from a running track in perfect sync and layer them for advanced track edits on the fly.

Stem Decks
Traktor Kontrol D2 is the first Stems-ready deck. The four touch-sensitive performance faders and knobs instantly correspond to each stem part, ready for mixing, EQing or adding effects to individual elements. The display immediately switches to the Stem View when a Stem file is loaded onto a deck.

Responsive Hardware
Designed for enhanced DJ performance while on the road, Traktor Kontrol D2 seamlessly fuses hardware and software for a truly multisensory experience. The D2's touch-and-see workflow brings the industry-leading DJ software to life under your fingertips - and right before your eyes. Access transport controls, cue points and trigger loops, Remix Decks or Stem Decks directly on the unit. Plug and play control of Traktor Pro means no mapping or control assignments necessary.

Efficient Connectivity
Play with two D2s connected as one. Rear panel USB ports on the D2 allow you to chain two Traktor controllers using just one of your computer's USB ports - no unnecessary connections. Traktor Kontrol D2 also includes a unique power supply splitter cable that powers both units simultaneously for minimal setup - ideal when touring from gig to gig.

All Hands-On Deck
Play different. Traktor Pro's Effects, Remix and Stems Decks and track browsing come to life on a full color display triggered by touch-sensitive controls. A multi-purpose touch strip allows for pitch bending, track seeking and vinyl scratch emulation.

Eight color-coded performance pads transform the D2 into an intuitive live performance tool. Trigger Remix Set cells, slice up and rearrange in Freeze mode, tweak your loops or improvise using hotcues - all within view and within reach.
