Highly recommneded for Traktor Digital DJ setup

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

Won't really get into the details of how to use the Traktor Kontrol X1 because if you are seeking this product out, you should already be aware of its functionality and all that. I will say that if you are looking for a means to NOT have to touch or use your laptop/PC with your Digital DJ setup and you are currently using Traktor, this is the perfect solution. Solid design and feel, does not feel cheap. Debatable as far as functionality is concerned if you already down the MK1 version of this. Plug and play functionality (will require NI Traktor 2.6+) and customizable via Traktor and Control Editor. This DOES include a $50 voucher which will be delivered to your email once you have registered the device with Native Instruments.

this is one of the best transport controllers that I have ever used

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

No matter what your DJ needs are there is no way that adding an X1 to the mix will not make life easier. Simply put, this is one of the best transport controllers that I have ever used. A particularly amazing feature is the touchpad which is not featured on any of the more advanced traktor controllers like the Z2 or S4, which allows you to do live scratching very easily. Great for browsing and selecting music as well as useful with remix sets.

Have been using the Audio 2 and a DJM 700 for quite a while, contemplating picking up the X1. This upgrade made my choice a no brainer and I picked up the X1 Mk2.

Other than that this unit needs Traktor Pro 2.6.3 and does not come with bundled Traktor software, no gripes as far as performance goes. Ensure that you have Traktor 2.6.3 installed. Or pick up an Audio 2 for about a 100 bucks to get the software

Have been using this with a DJM 700 and the Audio 2 and I must say, I rarely touch the computer now. The bigger and differently coloured cue / play buttons make them easy to differentiate amongst the darkest club environments. Selecting the filters / cue points is made easier with the workflow. Its definitely a breeze.

Am considering adding the F1 to gain control over sample decks and this should make it an awesome system to use with an external mixer

3 cheers to Traktor

Useful in the right places.

This plus a Z1 (and your laptop) makes for an extremely portable pair that you can easily take to get significant capability in a small package. They're not replacements for full control surfaces, but they have their use. (I took mine to DJ at Burning Man. They were the perfect combination to take onto the dusty Playa and not worry about control surfaces getting ruined by the dust.)

This controller is perfect

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love the controller and it is what I expected, looks really nice.
-its plug and play as long as you have the required version of traktor.
-knobs and buttons function perfectly
-the touch strip works perfect, pitch bend its easy to control with it, and needle search is also really usefull
-the browser knob also works perfect as they say, you touch it and its maximize the browser window, you release it and browser goes back to its size.

Only thing I found weird is that the browser and loop encoders as any knob on a controller is detachable you can take it out if you pull it.
the thing is that these are too loose, if you put the controller facing down they will fall.

Pairs up well with your DJ mixer

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been DJ'ing for a long time. Long enough that I remember when the first CDJs came out. So long before digital DJ'ing was a viable option compared to vinyl I was already very attached to my DJ mixer (Pioneer DJM series). The X1 controllers and traktor are a great way to make use of a full DJ mixer while keeping control of your digital media at your fingertips and not a mouse and keyboard. The mk2 is a substantial improvement over the originals as well. I was hesitant to make the transition, but I'm really glad I did.

Been DJing since the late 90's starting from vinyl on my 1200s (which I still have), through CDJs, to Serato and Traktor. This is a very nice addition. The ability to mix stems and remix sets opens up a whole new dimension.

Für die Minimalisten unter uns!

Reviewed in Germany on November 14, 2019

Dieser Kontroller ist klein aber oho! Ich habe als Gegensatz ein Pioneer DDJ RR und bin erstaunt, was der kleine gegenüber dem Großen schafft. Natürlich kann man hier nicht so schön scratchen aber dank des Touchstripes in der Mitte kann man zum Beispiel sein Track an den anderen anpassen. Zum Navigieren eignen sich eher die Drehregler, die sich an ein Beat Grid anpassen und damit kommt man dann schnell voran im Track.

Im Lieferumfang ist ein Evoucher von 50 Euro enthalten. Diesen habe ich direkt genutzt, um auf Traktor Pro 3 upzugraden, denn standardmäßig kommt hier Traktor DJ 2 mit, was auf der Webseite von Native Instruments auch als kostenloser Download bereitsteht. Ansich kann man damit auch alles machen aber mir scheint, dass nicht alle FX Knöpfe anwendbar waren, aber da will ich mich nicht ganz festlegen. Der Vorteil von Traktor Pro 3 ist aber, dass man dort eh alles mappen kann (also sprich jeden Knopf so anpassen, wie du es willst) und so konnte ich zum Beispiel ein Regler als Crossfader benutzen. Ich empfehle also noch das Upgrade der Software dazu und dann kann man sich mit einem Rucksack, Laptop und Kontrol X1 auf dem Weg zum Gig machen. Minimalistischer geht es nicht!
