All user reviews of 5/5 for the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1

How long have you use it?
Few months and I can not do without

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Goodies:
This is a very good complement to traktor scratch and turntables. We quickly took his bearings and buttons fall quickly under the fingers.
The unit is robust
You plug it works!
It is compatible with other app like live by example and each button is assignable manually

Cons: honestly it is very hard to find ...
For as we say that the fact that it is close enough can interfere when placed between the table and a plate, which is quickly forgotten with a small extension (home or storage box)

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
So I started with the Behringer BCD2000 (no comment ...), then a Hercules I do not know what (a toy). I have forsaken the controllers and dedicated myself to traktor scratch.
Then a friend bought the S4 and tickled my neurons. I took the plunge and I do not regret the contrary.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good

With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes biensur try it love it! It is never at fault

Since Christmas 2012


Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I used the Hercules RMX

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Plus: Easy integration into a setup, quality buttons.

The least: Its thickness must buy Tray or support for it is at the height of the mixer.


How would you rate the quality / price?

At first a little expensive, but once you use it, you understand why.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Of course I do!


I wanted to integrate a controller to my turntables and my mixer without having cables everywhere exceeded (see the pictures on my page).
The touch is really nice, really govern keys. It is easy to set up with all the software mix that accept Midi.

I use it for 4 months


before I had a config traktor S4 ac 2 MK2 turntable I have I was not satisfied with the mixer part of S4 so I resumed my nuo 3 ac 1 x1 and my 2 MK2 and for me it is the ideal config the top if I want to take pleasure in mixing the old has no worries thanks to timecod but when I move my X1 I took my 3 nuo my sound card and my pc is not bulky are the huge opportunity that is very effective'' s plug and play with traktor is a parameterizable wish is that brief pleasure this little controller value for money is unbeatable fun with the experience I remake this choice

How long have you been using?
I used 1 year.

What is so special that you like most and least?
Most:
- The price (219 € with the bag provided and Traktor Pro 2!).
- The opportunities it offers in such a small size.
- Simplicity.

Cons:
- The USB connection on the back seems to not hold too well, but nothing too bad.

Did you try many other models before buying it?
No, it was the first such model that I bought.

How do you rate the quality / price?
The value for money is unbeatable!

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without a doubt it is a little killer!

How long have you been using?

It's been a year that I use it.

What is so special that you like most and least?

what I like most is the buttons, layout is very well thought out. But the mapping for traktor serato scratch live and.
I do not like connecting the USB cable which is a bit cheap.

Did you try many other models before buying it?

not

How do you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice?
The value for money is very good especially as I had a license with Traktor Pro 2 (promo Native Instruments).
I gladly do it again this choice! I buy in order to control the effect of SSL that I considered buying. The promo made me decide and I am not disappointed.

How long you use it?
June 2011

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
No

What is so special that you love the most, least?
Goodies: The response of the controller, managing the impacts, the hardness of the buttons, readability during a set (even poorly lit), design, usability and software quality.
Cons: The knobs are missing can be a bit of hardness (in comparison with those of a kind table Xone 42), the inability to assign different colors to the buttons but it's still a detail.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent!

With experience, you do again this choice?
Without a doubt, I started the mix with this controller via X1 now I have a config cdj / vinyl timecoded and I still find useful to X1. Do not hesitate because that X1 does not bridera your configurations as opposed to a controller type Vestax / Numark

How long have you use it?
For 1 month.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I also have a DJ Control MP3 mapped traktor.

What is so special that you love the most, least?
As c 'is that it controls the load / navigation titles and effects and hotcues. (Mix without touching the computer that is better)
The least that is the inability of the record on traktor.

How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice?
The value for money is good. (That is quite expensive for a few buttons but is worth ca)
This choice I would do without hesitation.

I use it for about 1 month.

Before, I had a Denon DN-HC1000S mapping with traktor. However, is not really suited to the software.

Most:
- Complete control of the decks and now with the new mapping the samples decks. It's very intuitive, you do not spend hours to understand everything.

- Possibility to connect two devices to manage four decks (perfect if you want to use an external mixer type nexus 900 without necessarily investing in cdj).

- In August and September, we offer TP2 gratos.

- Ideal for use in timecode, need the keyboard.

The -: Uh ... ben ... Not find.

Very good value for money to buy the closed eyes to all the owners of Traktor.

How long have you use it?

2 weeks

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

In its category, from the Xone 1D, no other product.

What is so special that you like best?

Plug and play, we play one connects directly connected to a Traktor Pro 2 using the TSI of a pro it works perfectly in two, all functions are accessible, easy to use (I still plant between the button and load the loop because I do not watch what I do too), in the dark the backlight is just perfect.

What is so special that you like the least?

Nothing to say, great controller, really happy.

How would you rate the quality / price?

More than correct.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I nUse more turntables / cd and uses only 2 X1, and have a blast as always, the plates I miss a little, but quickly forget it, a really great controller very well thought out, I would do this choice without hesitation, unless a spell NI Kontrol X2 ...

Purchased today, plugged tonight on a config with 2 Traktor Scratch Pro MK2 timecoding and Xone92.
Scare as Traktor does not detect direct as expected -> it should install the complete package and not just the drivers!
Once solved this problem while bathing!
Compared to XONE1D or 2D, this is not the same quality of manufacture but it is quite acceptable!
For now the mapping is perfect for me and for good reason, that fact
Obviously I have not execution speed but it will come quickly, the color of the buttons depending on their activation or not make things easier.
Obviously, it lacks the settings (speed, volume, etc.). But this is not done for! In fact it is a controller designed especially for those who use Timecoded with TSP, it can dispense with the mouse in session for its loops, its filters add and navigate playlists, it's damn convenient .
For those who want to control everything from a desk, I recommend turning to products like Vestax or another but I do not know if they still speak of deejing But these could also be attractive: there are 2 buttons sync, I'll probably disable time I press on it by mistake )
Visually, it's good, we will quickly fix and it's not too busy, brief is simple. No doubt he'll miss the essential functions but is there and does it well. Note that you can switch to noon and set up for Serato Itch Kontrol his or another with a soft provided! There are also templates provided for Ableton too!
For now, the price / quality ratio seems to canon as much as the bug does not crash then, what has not happened yet! I venture therefore to a 9 / 10 lack a point due to the manufacturing quality of the product which I do not completely trust!
