![]() ![]() We will continue to conduct systematic tests with macOS 13 Ventura to offer full compatibility with our software and hardware products as soon as possible. Please find the latest info about compatibility with Apple Silicon in this article. This includes MASCHINE MK1, MASCHINE MIKRO MK1, AUDIO 2 / 4 / 8 DJ, TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 MK1, and TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 / S4 / X1 MK1. The same applies to macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 12 (Monterey), and macOS 13 (Ventura). macOS 10.15 (Catalina) terminated the operability of some legacy NI hardware.All products listed here require the latest update from Native Access, as well as the latest version of macOS 13 (Ventura).Other Native Instruments software and hardware products are not currently supported on macOS 13 Ventura. These hardware devices are compatible with macOS 13 Ventura: Hardware Product Somewhere in the middle lies the Traktor Kontrol Z2: a unit with considerable heft whose functions are, like the Kontrol Z1, dedicated to mixing but with vastly expanded capabilities. Important note: If the installation fails in Native Access, please follow the steps in this article. ![]() The Komplete Effects are: Crush Pack (Bite, Dirt, Freak), Driver, Mod Pack (Choral, Flair, Phasis), Premium Tube Series (Enhanced EQ, Passive EQ, Vari Comp), Solid Mix Series (Solid Bus Comp, Solid EQ, Solid Dynamics), Raum, Replika, Replika XT, Reverb Classics (RC24, RC48), Supercharger, Supercharger GT, Transient Master, Vintage Compressors (VC 160, VC 2A, VC 76). For now.Currently, only the latest versions of the following software products are supported on macOS 13 Ventura: Software Product The Kontrol Z1 is a no-nonsense frills-free mixer controller, and that’s all you need to know. I’ll offload the unit to one of the team to go into a little more detail, but essentially is does exactly what you think it does, exactly as you think it should. So in a nutshell, it’s like the other Kontrol modules, is shinier, and is proper plug and play with Traktor and Traktor DJ. There’s a certain irony in having to take an extra power supply in a real small setup I guess. The traktor Z1, when used alone, powers the ipad. One thing with iOS - the Z1 needs power which thankfully is supplied. I want to use traktor z1 at the same time as novation launchkey on ipad. The setup is slightly awkward because there’s no natural way for the Z1 to sit with the iPad, or at least not one that I’m used to just yet. And it’s the same with Traktor DJ on iOS. I’ll try it paired up with a Z2 when I review it fully to see how it interacts though. Last night’s release of Traktor Pro 2.6.2 recognises the Kontrol Z1 right away and has it working perfectly. To clarify for those that care, the crossfader is fixed to the motherboard, so no Pro X Fade or Innofader transplants for the Kontrol Z1 I’m afraid. Making a casual mixer based observation, the crossfader is smoother than the line faders, which is a good thing. If ever there was a product to trigger OCD cleaning frenzies, it’s the Z1.įeel wise, it’s just like the others in the range. Personally I prefer the brushed metal of the F1 and X1, but this seems to be NI’s new finger print magnet ID for the future. The big visual difference is that the faceplate is now shiny clear plastic to match its bigger Z2 stable mate, but thankfully has the markings underneath the faceplate. ![]() It’s another small format device that looks and feels much the same as its Kontrol X1 and Kontrol F1 siblings. It’s an incredibly simple device that like Cuprinol, does exactly what it says on the tin. Given what I’ve done with the Z1 today, the final review isn’t likely to be much longer than this quick piece. The Traktor Kontrol Z1 sandwiched between the X1 and F1. A few pictures is a much better way to get to what you really want to see in my book. Great for scratching but not as affordable. Check Latest Price RUNNER UP Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 Another great 4 channel Traktor controller with additional FX controls. Featuring a multi-purpose touch strip for playback, loops, and FX, and touch-sensitive knobs to access TRAKTOR PRO 3 browse and loop views instantly, the Z1 is a flexible 2-channel DJ controller made for creativity. It also offers a logical layout and good quality jogwheels. With the ability to control TRAKTOR PRO 3 decks and FX units, Z1 works with all-digital set-ups, as well as with time code controls on your decks. I can’t watch them myself, and certainly can’t imagine a format for such a thing that I’d be happy filming, or that is interesting. WINNER Traktor Kontrol S3 An excellent and refined 4 channel Traktor controller. Sorry people, but that’s not my bag at all. So here it is, as well as a large dollop of first impressions as well.īefore I start, I got a few requests for an unboxing video. So I asked the DJWORX masses via the usual social media channels if said unboxing was needed, and back came a resounding yes. And when new and highly desirable shiny comes into my world, the first thing I think is UNBOX. NI’s Traktor Kontrol Z1 “DJ mixing interface” (that’s what the box says) is finally making it out into the wild. ![]()
