Okay so first impressions hot huh.

"Very nice finish. It's not as cheap as it did in the air. The size is well thought out. There're a small aluminum plate that gives the metal nice touch that does not toy.

The ergonomics are well thought out everything is well placed. It connects the beast, installs the drivers from the cd, traktor opens. Traktor asked if you want to use the settings of X1 FX (I think that's the question mrgreen I looked quickly and clicked)

Plop And, it works no mapping to bang. I would say is for me the big advantage over the xone.

Any answers at hand, it's cool you branch and plop it works. So of course it is used for what is planned and that we do not seek to control 4decks, or do I not know what with. After it is for everyone to do what he pleases. But I think for someone who wanted to have fun to be his personal mapping and everything else that likes to have a jog faders. A Xone1D is more appropriate.

The two things that really bother me and it is minimal. This is the rubber buttons. But I think it is time for adjustment, although we must admit that the rubber is more "rigid" one button play / cue a DNS 1200 (for the benchmark of matter). And depth of the controller. But I think that sells native support, brief. They would still have done their controller deeper, jeai returned a cardboard packaging for the test quickly, the time to find another solution.

For summary and is honest for my use with timecode, I am really thinking of enthusiasm if I'm not going to sell my 4d, take a 92 second toy like that and audio8. I really like that thing you part, it works. I do not deny that the reception of the 4d and what is the mapping I left some hair. But it is true that once it is mapped a beast race.

But I think for 199 € Native does not really care about the shit out of people. We have something for his money. For now, I do not find many negative points to be honest. But it's still a personal assessment.

I must bump again with a little history to make my final decision.
PS: For those who want to map a bit more exotic, there ace available on the NI website with the overlay.
