5Best Purchase I've Made in a Long, Long Time  Oct 01, 2010 By L. Graber "Quesa Dia"
The Traktor X1 Dj Controller is a total game changer for me and my mixing. I have been using 3 technics and vinyl for more than a decade - but Traktor Pro and the X1 changed my mind. It works far better than I imagined and since you can program it, I can actually control all 4 virtual turntables (or even use my some of my actual turntables through the inputs for sampling and effects in real time along with the virtual turntables.) Native Instruments say that they intended this to be merely an effects controller, but I have found that with the right programing (available on their site) you can control all 4 decks, 4 built in samplers, and all of their amazing effects all with this device. I am totally impressed.

4Solid design, great functionality  Feb 17, 2011 By Amr Horanieh
I've had this product for over a year now, and till this very day, it's still in great shape. The controller offers great functionality for the Traktor software. It come with a nice preset, and you also have the option to customize it as you wish. Something I really liked about it is the "Midi Mode". You can have the controller set to the default preset or your favourite preset, then hit Shift+Hotcue, and you will enter Midi Mode. When in Midi Mode, the controller becomes like any other generic midi controller. You can map the controller in Midi Mode to make use of it differently incase you're using a software other than Traktor, or maybe even do more things with Traktor.

As for the hardware, it is very well built. Great quality on the buttons and knobs. The LED backlight brightness can be customized for both off and on states. The knobs have a nice soft click when positioned in the middle, so you don't even need to be looking when you're moving the knobs.

The Kontrol X1 driver comes with the controller editor software which allows you to customize the controller. Unfortunately, the controller editor isn't that great. It's somewhat buggy and not easy to use.

The only problem I've had with the Kontrol X1 was a problem with the LED backlights not turning on after I updated the drivers. I contacted Native Instruments about this issue but they didn't have a solution. So the only solution I found was to be downgrade to the previous driver, and everything workd fine then.

All in all, I would highly recommend this controller for any Traktor users out there. It makes using the software so much easier and faster. I would also recommend the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 Gig Bag with this, you would want to keep your controller safe and also can use the added height it provides.

5Traktor X1 Control  May 30, 2010 By Gustavo Laureano "PandaLove"
The product came in excellent condition. Its the one of the simplest plug and play devices a dj can have. I would recommend this product to pros and amateurs alike.


5Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 Performance DJ Controller  Feb 02, 2012 By Jefferdson D. Flores M
This device is simply excellent, just install the drivers from the cd and use, the controller does not need key mapping, an excellent accompaniment with Scrath Traktor Pro software and DN-X1600 DN-HC4500, happy with this purchase.
