#Traktor kontrol x1 k1 f1 case full

Basically, when you touch it, it switches the software into full library mode, so the tracks / files / folders fill most of the screen (normally you’d have to push-to-click for this to happen). The library browser / encoder has a function that I really don’t like, which is “touch sensitivity”.

When a loop isn’t engaged, holding shift and turning the loop encoder moves backwards or forwards through the track by the number of beats indicated on the LED. Holding Shift and turning the loop encoder is the loop shift function, for moving the playing loop around the track. In Flux mode, pushing down on the encode is necessary to engage the loop, otherwise it is an on/off toggle. The loop encoders tie in with the double-digit LEDs above them, that show you the size of the current look the LEDs flash when the loop is engaged. The small rows of LEDs above the touchstrip are in this mode a representation of the phase of the two tracks when locked on, the middle LED glows red, otherwise the number of blue bars to the left or right of middle shows you how out of phase the track is for quick beat correction without looking at the screen. (Of course you wouldn’t attempt serious scratching on this, but it does sound good nonetheless.) When the track is playing, however, it is automatically in “nudge” mode for pitch bending, and in this case, holding down Shift puts it in “vinyl” or “scratch” mode. When a track is paused, the strip is in scratch mode for easy cue point location, and holding down Shift puts it into scrub mode for rapid moving through a track. It is “weighted”, so you can “throw” the MP3 that’s one up on the S2/S4’s jogs! That central performance section is where the big changes have been made against the original X1. (By holding then swiping from the middle, you can assign the whole strip to just one deck too.) Pushing it to the right is the equivalent of rotating a jogwheel clockwise, left anticlockwise. That of course makes it a bit fiddly, but it works well enough. This is probably the most eagerly awaited part of the new unit, and I’m happy to report that it works really well. It’s divided down the middle, so the left half of it controls the left decks, the right half the right deck. The central “performance section” is backed with glossy black plastic and is where the touchstrip is located. The cues change colour depending on what type of cue point (load marker etc) is set, which is a nice touch. It is also possible to store loops and capture samples/control some of the functions of the Remix Decks using the hot cues, although it’d still make sense to have a Kontrol F1 if you’re going to get serious about the latter. Holding Shift and Flux lets you tap a BPM, Shift + Sync sets that deck to the master, and Shift and one of the four cues erases that cue. The blue “sync” buttons toggle on/off with the same dim/light glow, as does “Flux”.įlux controls the recently added “Flux” (or “slip”) mode in Traktor, whereby you can cue juggle, activate loops and so on, and the track will continue playing underneath regardless.

The blue “cue” and green “play” buttons glow brightly when pushed/activated. The transport buttons, although small, are the biggest on the unit, and due to their positioning at the bottom they feel fine in performance use. Once all set up, the unit lights up expectantly, looking more refined than the original X1, due to the RGB buttons, the nice Traktor Kontrol S2/S4-esque double-digit LED readouts, and what look like horizontal VU meters above the touchstrip (they are in fact phase meters among other things, as we’ll find out).

Once you’re up and running, the Traktor Pro software recognises the unit without any need to head off into preferences, which is to be expected from a Native Instruments hardware /software tie-in, but is still good to see.

The quick start PDF is also a download that you get via this process. You can get US$50 / €50 off Traktor software, which you’ll need to use the unit you do this by registering and using an e-code which is then provided to you.

The unit comes in typical high quality Native Instruments packaging, and the box contains the Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk2 plus a USB cable and a card for downloading drivers and documentation. First Impressions / Setting up Modular control with Native Instruments gear: Here, the Z1 is your mixer, the X1 Mk2 controls track decks, and the F1 handles Remix Deck duties.
