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!
