Flow 8 Deck works great with Native Instruments controllers

You can play Stems on all these controllers. Controllers are shown to scale, so you can see how large each one is.

Quick Demo Video

Here's how you can use any Native Instruments controller to switch between Decks, play songs and mix between them. Shown in the video: Traktor Kontrol S4 and Trakor Kontrol X1.

Traktor Kontrol S8

This is the flagship Native Instruments controller. It works perfectly in Flow 8 Deck. There are a lot of different ways to map it, but we especially enjoyed performance in 4 deck and 8 deck modes. Both are super fun on this controller.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

Traktor Kontrol S4 mk2

One of the best 4-deck controllers in the world. It works perfectly with Flow 8 Deck in every mode, but we especially love it for the 4 Deck mode. The build quality is excellent and the knobs feel great.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

Traktor Kontrol S4 mk1

Traktor Kontrol S4 mk1

We're sure this controller works with Flow 8 Deck, but we couldn't find one to map because it's pretty old. It has been replaced by the newer MK2 version. You can map the older version yourself, it's quick and easy.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

Traktor Kontrol S2 mk2

The updated version of a best-selling controller. In Flow 8 Deck, you can use it to play 2, 4 or 8 decks. Every function of Flow maps perfectly to it. Great choice for a controller to buy if you don't have one already.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

Traktor Kontrol S2 mk1

One of the best-selling DJ controllers of all time. In Flow 8 Deck, you can use it to play 2, 4 or 8 decks. Every function of Flow maps perfectly to it.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

Traktor Kontrol Z2

Traktor Kontrol Z2

This was a mixer designed for club installation, but it turned out to be a pretty awesome controller for Flow 8 Deck too. It's fun to use it in 2 and 4 deck modes, but 8 deck is harder.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8. The mapping is already built into the software, but the mapping pictures aren't ready yet.

Traktor Kontrol D2

Simple controller certified for playing in 2 deck and 4 deck modes. You could hypothetically map it to play 8 decks, but it felt more natural for 4 deck mixing.

Supported modes: 2 and 4.

Traktor Kontrol X1 mk2

Just like the older version of this controller, it's brilliant for playing 8 decks at the same time.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

View Official Mapping

Traktor Kontrol X1 mk1

One of the world's best small controllers. It's hard to believe, but it works brilliantly in 8 deck mode. The way it's designed makes it really easy to play 8 decks at the same time.

Supported modes: 2, 4 and 8.

It's pretty amazing how many great controllers Native Instruments has made, and how solid they are. If you're looking for a recommendation, we suggest the S4 mk2, or S2 mk2. Our experience with both of them has been very positive.
