Coming quickly after an update to its Maschine line, Native Instruments has announced a new "2+2" control mixer, the Traktor Kontrol Z2. The unit is said to unite analog and digital DJing techniques, with two standalone channels for connecting turntables or CDJs while also providing two additional channels to plug in devices such as Traktor Remix Decks. The Kontrol Z2 acts as a central hub, and includes a 24-bit soundcard, XLR outputs, booth output, a built-in USB hub and microphone input. The software offers new features as well.
