General

The Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 is the successor to the Native Instruments' Traktor Kontrol X1. At first glance, the two MIDI controllers seem very much alike, but look a little closer and you'll notice various enhancements and a fresh new look. The Kontrol X1 MK2 is equipped with a touch strip that controls various functions and offers a more tactile DJ experience without the need for actual turntables. Two clear displays provide you with direct feedback on your performance.

Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2

The Native Instruments X1 MK2 allows you to control two decks. If you want to work with a total of four decks, simply use a second controller. Transport functions, song selection and playlist browsing, effect selection and equalizing - the X1 MK2 puts you in total control. The RGB trigger buttons provide an overview of cue points in loops and show the markers in your tracks. Each deck has its own complete set of controls.

Perfect Integration

As Native Instruments manufactures both software and matching hardware, its products are perfectly compatible with each other. The Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 is no exception. It doesn't need any drivers, so just plug it in, turn it on and it's Traktor ready. You can easily take the compact and lightweight, yet rugged controller with you and even use it on the road - simply connect it to your laptop. Above all, the Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 is a refined addition to your DJ setup.

Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 MIDI Controller

Je zou verwachten dat deze controller wel met Traktor dj 2 werkt. Doet ie dus niet. Enkel met traktor pro 3. Vrij teleurstellend.
Daarnaast moet je de controls nog wel even mappen voor je het als main controller wil gebruiken.
Verder wel indrukwekkende bouwkwaliteit.

Ik ben even aan het zoeken geweest wat voor mij de beste oplossing is om dj te combineren met live elementen. Ik heb vervolgens de NI Traktor F1 & X1 gekocht bij BAX. Ik heb mijn bestelling (zaterdag) online gedaan, en 2 dagen later heb ik alles netjes ontvangen. Ik ben heel tevreden over het product, net als de super snelle/kwalitatieve levering!

Naar mijn mening de beste midi-controller voor Traktor Pro die er is. Aan het begin was ik wat sceptisch over de touchstrip maar het went erg snel. Enige nadeel vind ik dat de touchstrip is opgedeeld in twee decks. Als je per ongeluk de verkeerde helft aanraakt en dus het verkeerde deck beweegt, loopt je mix out of sync. Je kan de gehele touchstrip wel toewijzen aan één enkel deck maar het wisselen tussen decks vind ik niet zo prettig werken (midden van de touchstrip vasthouden en vervolgens naar 1 kant swipen).

Zalig toestel! Plug en play, veel extra mogelijkheden om de mapping te customizen in Traktor. Goede bouwkwaliteit, knopen reageren vlotjes. Verdient een plaatsje naast mijn CDJ's in de booth om via Traktor een paar extra decks te hebben.

Le Traktor X1 est un modèle niveau rapport qualité prix dans le Djing qui est presque imbattable quand on voit toutes les possibilités qu'on a avec, en plus c'est léger et facile a transporter !

je possède déjà un F1 et un S2 qui est une bonne combinaison avec le X1

Et Bax Shop c'est du sérieux niveau service et envoi, je l'ai reçu en meme pas 48h donc c'est génial !

Ik heb de X1 MK2 een paar dagen in bezit en ben er nu al heel tevreden mee. Ik gebruikte eerst de Reloop Digital DJ ME 2 (2e hands) maar gebruik die nu alleen nog als mixer. De rest doe ik met de X1 MK2 en daarnaast heb ik nog de Traktor F1 voor de remix decks.
Nu zit ik alleen nog te bedenken of ik een volwaardige mixer moet nemen (NI Z2, of een Allen & Heat) of toch ook de Traktor Z1 erbij zodat het trio compleet is :)

Now, they're announcing a comeback, and we're pretty sure they'll have something new to show us at NAMM 2016.
