![]() The buttons all work as labeled and the 2 way communication between the hardware and software is very tight (this is done over HID, not MIDI). The X1 is natively supported, which means just plug and… play. The X1 comes with Traktor LE, the most basic dj software native instruments offers but in order to really use the controller, you are going to want to jump up to Traktor Pro ($139 upgrade) or purchase Traktor SCratch pro for vinyl control ($500). NI has intelligently worked the X1 into the club environment aesthetically, ergonomically and functionally making it an solid option for pro DJs. If, however, you have access to a mixer and turntables- the X1 makes an excellent companion to most DVS systems. THE BOTTOM LINE: As a stand alone controller, the X1 cant quite offer everything a DJ needs to control traktor pro. Requires a mixer or turntables to really be useful. Serato users can take advantage of an included overlay but the printed buttons labels wont match the re-mapped functions. THE BAD:The screen printed buttons are great for people that like the standard mapping but bad news for those that want to change it. The high quality encoders, knobs and buttons all have a professional feel. The plug and play integration with Traktor makes it very easy to use and set up. As a sidecar controller to Serato or Traktor Scratch Pro, its very popular and useful. THE GOOD:This is the best built controller in its class and size range. Check out the new controller here and a full review here. Is the Kontrol X1 a smashing success? Lets dive in and take a closer look.Įditor’s Note: The Kontrol X1 was updated in July, 2013. While many had hoped for a all-in one DJ controller like the NS7, NI disappointed some and pleased others by instead addressing a clear need in the compact controller range. There is no sysex id from the X1, hope there is another way to identify the controller soon.After years of rumors, NI finally entered the fray and released their own dj controller to match the popular Traktor software. Nach dem Neustart sollten die vorher eingestellten Werte wieder geladen werden :-) * Vergessen Sie nicht den MIDI Mode am X1 zu aktivieren, um die zu tun drücken Sie Shift+Hotcue, der Hotcue button muss grün leuchten * Öffnen/Starten Sie VDJ und gehen Sie zu Setup -> Mappers - Dort sollte nun der Eintrag "Traktor Kontrol X1" stehen * Nun können SIe den Mapper nach Ihren Wünschen anpassen (oder Sie benutzen einfach meinen :-) ********************************************************** Changelog ********************************************************** v1.0: initial version v1.1: Added Potis of effect section 1/2 in SHIFT mode v1.2: Removed X1 identification (midiname) - made problems on MAC and if more than one X1 are used in windows.
