So, even though this is just an iterative product, has Native Instruments done enough to entice people over? Really, that’s all you need to get started. You get the controller and a cable plus the usual paperwork with serials etc., plus some stickers in the bottom of the box. Taking this out of the box, it’s clear that owners of original X1 will be familiar with the layout apart from a few changes as you’ll see a bit later in the review. This version of the X1 took on board feedback from the first one released way back in 2010, adding and taking away things to help workflow.
Combined with the Z1 or Z2, you are ready to go without any fiddling. With version 2.6.3 of the software, the device is literally plug n play.
#Traktor x1 unboxing pro#
The 2013 Kontrol X1 (hereby known simply as ‘the X1’) is Native Instruments’ integrated hardware to control (Kontrol?) two decks and two effects units within their Traktor Pro 2 and Traktor Scratch Pro 2 software. So, How does this new version stack up? Here’s how… In a Nutshell It was also championed by DJs from a wide spectrum of music and DJ-style, from Techno don Richie Hawtin, scratch master DJ Craze and house legend Pete Tong (who famously received a special edition white pair from Dubfire for his 50th), showing off the breadth of its application. The original has been hugely successful, finding a home in many setups whether using Native Instruments’ Traktor software or straight up MIDI elsewhere. It’s an incremental release of the original X1, with a tweaked layout and a few new bits. Let’s get one thing straight from the off… this unit is a MK2.
