How long have you use it?

Since 7/8 months if I still can count.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

After 10 years of DJing, I cotoy any kind of hardware, of turntables, high-end CD players and MIDI interfaces. Technics MK2 with or without the traktor scratch, CDJ 1000 MK3, a VCI 100 and now a combo Xone K2 + NI Traktor Pro + F1.

I'm not the one to revive polemical, I am that choice mixer today "all computerized. For a time saving, space, installation, bulk, prices. In the past, according to a First Disc Jockey was to play music, adjust its audience, with good communication and adquate musical selection.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

I like the interface in its globality buttons, knobs are pleasant to use. Level faders, I think that we should not bully, has clearly not fader mixer.

The number of global parameters and possibilities of summons are some strengths. The programming logic is simplistic, for the fans of the hack, one can just paramtrer will. If we can find Tlcharger TSI on the web.

My overall implmentation is divided into 2 layers and a half, more than enough for my use. The complementarity Xone K2 + NI F1 is necessary and makes sense, to drive aisment 4 lanes (2 + 2 Tracks Remix Decks). License Traktor Pro as included in the offer Native Instrument, it allows starting on very good foundation for creativity and mix to less than 500.

Layer 1 (red): it performs the traditional functions: Menu navigation / Songs + loading on each deck, play, pause, cue, synch, precoute headphone, faders, EQ + Kill.

Layer 2 (Amber) He manages the hot cues, and loop the autoloop manual (tracks 1 and 2). Top I gre 4 FX groups to my 4 decks.

layer 3 (green): it manages the hot cues, and loop the autoloop manual (tracks 3 and 4). Needless to me, I Ulise F1 to grate lanes 3 and 4 remix Decks. Top I gre levels, filters, configurations want the recording. etc.

How do you report qualitprix? With experience, you do again this choice?

I remake that choice without hesitation, the Xone K2 is a good interface for DJing, I have not used in other cases, but it must keep its promises.
