Thanks for saying so! And thanks to everyone who's said similar things below. I don't have much time to check comments on these videos anymore, but I hope you're all keeping up with my videos for DJTechtools now. Big up!
question, Im running an old version of Trakor, I sold my S4 with the original discs. Is this just plug and play? Or will I need to use my serial number which is now registered with someone else
Hi djdunods, yes you can change tempo, I forgot to mention it in the video! The change is done with various combinations of holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob on each deck.
I actually bought this to DJ at home with instead of using the APC 40 mk2 all the time. I midi mapped it to be a fully self contained controller for Traktor. I have the headphone split as well.
Those touch strips will ease the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury in the wrist from spinning the platters looking for needle drops and be beneficial for arthritic older DJs!
Hi David, you can't do that in native mode, but you have the option in the preferences to setup the Flux button so it goes to cues 5-8 with just one button push, which I find very useable.
Cool, well I think with that function, combined with the touchstrips for pitch bending, you should find that very straightforward with the X1 mk2. Thanks again.
Thanks for the walk thru. No plans on being a DJ but this device looks like a cool & convenient way to play music in my Photography studio in a sort of juke box type setup with some fun features to mash up and remix some tracks.
Great video, I've subscribed. Do you know if you can pitch shift with it, or is it pitch nudge only? Seems like you have got to grips with Traktor very rapidly btw!
Hello! I'd like to know if I can still assign/map specific knobs to other parameters? Like for example, I'd assign the top most knobs to the vertical volume faders of traktors deck A and deck B. Is this possible? Thanks NI.
Thanks! I forgot to mention it in the video, but you can adjust the bpm by holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob. Pushing down the knob at the same time does it in greater increments, and holding sync and pushing the loop knob down without turning resets the pitch to zero; that will be very handy for me using DVS.
Hi, Being late to the scene ( coming from 1210s) and wanting to move to a pure NI portable setup I'm looking at the X1 + Audio2dj coupled with my MacBook. Question: Can I assign a crossfade or channel faders with the X1 stand alone + the Audio2? If not, then can I use the crossfader and channel faders with decksA+B on the X1? Thanks lots.
owenkitto27 I’ve been wondering that my very self. I literally just DM’d Ean Golden about it. I’ve been using the VCI-100 SE for years but it’s so damn heavy!
What’s up Mojaxx First of all, keep the videos and content coming! I find all of your DJcity and this channels content highly informative and you have a clear and simple way of explaining the kit your using. I bought one of these to amp up my setup which was primarily a pair of 1210s so I added and X1 to avoid forking out hundreds on a pair of cdj2000s. I don’t suppose you have had much experience with remapping the X1 so it’s a bit more ‘user friendly’ or Personalised to a individuals workflow? Peace
So as you showed in the video, when you hit Shift + Flux and you get cues 5-8, does that continue throughout the rest of the tracks you play, or does it need to repeated for each track? Also, is this a built in feature?
quality and very good walkthrough of this mate! im after one now that ive just gotten my hands on the Traktor Scratch Audio 6 and its a real pain not being able to use effects because of the mixer iuse in the club im at hasnt got any on it, thanks a lot pal! subbed and liked x
So I'm currently saving up for a ddj rb, and after watching this I'm wondering if I should go for the X1 MK2 now or wait until I can afford the ddj rb? any tips or ideas are well appreciated! thanks
Can I use it just with my Mac and my amplifier or I will need something else, like the interface Z1? And does it work with the old version Traktor Pro? Thank you a lot
Quick question i own a x1mk1 and the thing i use the most is if my track is a couple of beat back or front i use the seek scroll knob to bring the beat a bit front or back to enter the mix point on time now. This mk2 only has one center knob how do you perform that on this mk2? My NES Mac m1 does not support my sl4 and my old trusty x1 mk1 so i do not what to buy the mk2 and have more gear to spare. Any help would be great.
Hi, can i assign Fx and Loop Section to deck A&B and the bottom section to Remix Deck?? i need to control fx and remix deck but i don't now if i need 2 x1 mk1 or only 1 x1 mk2
really very useful video…. I have a probably stupid question: can you actually mix tracks with x1? meaning fading from a to b? or do I need z1 for this?
Hey Bro one question! Where is the master tempo in this controller !?, i mean, if i have one song in the deck A at 128bpm and in the deck B at 131 bpm. How do i get them in the same tempo without using the sync button?
Hi DJ Carlo, All the controls seem exactly the same in terms of feel and quality as on the mk1. And I certainly haven't had any concerns with the USB socket, it seems solid.
Nice video! I have a question for you! I am considering buying one of these, however, im not a big fan of auto syncing etc. I have a pair of 1210's with traktor scratch pro 1, I enjoy mixing my tunes as id they where records using pitch on the decks etc. The only uses i can see on the Kontroller are the effects, and i like the jog wheel for track selection (Instead of using the pc mouse) I can see you have decks, do you think its worth getting one of these for the money? Cheers
You can control Tempo to each deck by holding sync and turning the loop knob on the corresponding deck.
Watched this over and over . Helpful every single time . Thank u soo much for great help
Thanks for saying so! And thanks to everyone who's said similar things below. I don't have much time to check comments on these videos anymore, but I hope you're all keeping up with my videos for DJTechtools now. Big up!
question, Im running an old version of Trakor, I sold my S4 with the original discs. Is this just plug and play? Or will I need to use my serial number which is now registered with someone else
Its plug and play mate. You 'may' need to DL the driver from NI.
Hi djdunods, yes you can change tempo, I forgot to mention it in the video! The change is done with various combinations of holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob on each deck.
7 yrs later, can you assign the effects buttons to the EQ? Thanks M8
I actually bought this to DJ at home with instead of using the APC 40 mk2 all the time. I midi mapped it to be a fully self contained controller for Traktor. I have the headphone split as well.
Having two of this together with the playdifferently model 1 is amazing, really small and simple decks, as you are mostly using your model 1
Those touch strips will ease the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury in the wrist from spinning the platters looking for needle drops and be beneficial for arthritic older DJs!
Got it yesterday, love this controller! With this simple controller & Traktor you can put all the computers power for mixing etc. Really happy!
Thank you so much for this walkthrough. Just getting into traktor in 2021 and loving it!
bought mk2 today. This video really helped me understand all the features straight away. Cheers
Hi David, you can't do that in native mode, but you have the option in the preferences to setup the Flux button so it goes to cues 5-8 with just one button push, which I find very useable.
As you can probably tell from the video, I'm really digging it! Will definitely be adding one to my setup. Thanks for watching.
Thanks guys!
Awesome thats handy for me as I play back to back with another DJ on his own rig. I cannot wait to get my hands on the X1 MK2
Excellent demo. I was on the fence with buying this hardware to supplement my mixer, and I'm sold.
Just watched a video of chris bracelet on DJTT. I search up a mix with the MK2 and here he is again lol
got a question 4u: if it's plug and play then how do I listen to the other deck on my headphone??
Cool, well I think with that function, combined with the touchstrips for pitch bending, you should find that very straightforward with the X1 mk2. Thanks again.
I like how you went to the trouble of including shortcuts to other sections in the video. Great idea. Keep up the good work. Great review.
Reloop mixtour or the X1 in your professional opinion which is the better choice
Hey Mo I shift Mapped my EQs to the X1 Mk2! More control more power!
I always loved your videos can I use this with chain hooked with my Traktor Z1 going to MacBook
Thanks for the walk thru. No plans on being a DJ but this device looks like a cool & convenient way to play music in my Photography studio in a sort of juke box type setup with some fun features to mash up and remix some tracks.
Sorry but you'd need a sound card or another mixer.
Great video, I've subscribed. Do you know if you can pitch shift with it, or is it pitch nudge only?
Seems like you have got to grips with Traktor very rapidly btw!
Hello!
I'd like to know if I can still assign/map specific knobs to other parameters? Like for example, I'd assign the top most knobs to the vertical volume faders of traktors deck A and deck B.
Is this possible?
Thanks NI.
just bought kontrol x1mk2 love using it
Great video, the best demo I've seen for these controllers.
Thanks
can you change between decks AB / CD on the fly?
press both reloop buttons
at the same time
How do the buttons feel? Any different from the X1 Mk1? How's the X1 Mk2 USB Cable jack? Does it hold the cable well?
any idea how i might turn that 'browse on touch' off for virtualdj?
I use Traktor Scratch Pro version 2.6.3; if you want to use the X1 mk2 in native control mode, you must use that version.
Thanks! I forgot to mention it in the video, but you can adjust the bpm by holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob. Pushing down the knob at the same time does it in greater increments, and holding sync and pushing the loop knob down without turning resets the pitch to zero; that will be very handy for me using DVS.
Have you tried using this as a standalone fx add in for a basic controller like the s2 mk3
which is the pitch because I do not like to use sync?? Thanks
Hi,
Being late to the scene ( coming from 1210s) and wanting to move to a pure NI portable setup I'm looking at the X1 + Audio2dj coupled with my MacBook.
Question: Can I assign a crossfade or channel faders with the X1 stand alone + the Audio2?
If not, then can I use the crossfader and channel faders with decksA+B on the X1?
Thanks lots.
Thanks mate fantastic job!
Hi!! How am i able to change the position of the red "needle". So that the red stripe is not in the middle, as in this video
Does anybody know if you also can adjust Hi Mid and Low with it ?
Cool video! We have now 10% Off for buyers in Europe for this unit! :)
Grateful or a state of the art tutorial! Thanks mate
Can you help me to turn off browser knob sensitivity in tractor pro preference
Thank you in advance
thank you for breaking it all down ..great tutorial ...u have helped me so much !!!!!!
On point explanation 👍
Thanks! Very helpful video!
I just bought the traktor kontrol x1 mk2 and when i registered to download the program, it says that i dont have permission! why??
can you use the ribbon slider to fast rewind and forward the track???
You certainly can. It does pitch bend when the track is playing, and scrubs when the track is paused.
owenkitto27 I’ve been wondering that my very self. I literally just DM’d Ean Golden about it. I’ve been using the VCI-100 SE for years but it’s so damn heavy!
Great review and walkthrough, thanks.
Would love to see you do a similar video on the F1 controller :)

Can you connect one up to the XDJ-XZ
What’s up Mojaxx

Would you rather have two of these with a Z1 or the new Akai AMX and 2 Akai AFX?
Brilliant presentation! And with only a short time on the deck. Subscribing and putting you up for an OBE.
Okay now i get it. Thx
man you are the man!!! THANKS..much love
Can you use the Knobs as your Gains? High ,mid and low?
so inside traktor what do you use to adjust lets say shift+flux functions, or things like that? aka editing a mapping?
Great video, brilliant tutorial. Thanks a lot
So as you showed in the video, when you hit Shift + Flux and you get cues 5-8, does that continue throughout the rest of the tracks you play, or does it need to repeated for each track? Also, is this a built in feature?

Can you adjust the pitch? you can with the MK 1 version. Nice video, got a lot of tips.
Can I use it just with my Mac and my amplifier or I will need something else, like the interface Z1? And does it work with the old version Traktor Pro? Thank you a lot

Can Traktor work with any virtual Dj software?
Hey will this work with vdj8? Thanks
Hi, can i assign Fx and Loop Section to deck A&B and the bottom section to Remix Deck?? i need to control fx and remix deck but i don't now if i need 2 x1 mk1 or only 1 x1

Hi DJ Carlo,
All the controls seem exactly the same in terms of feel and quality as on the mk1.
And I certainly haven't had any concerns with the USB socket, it seems solid.
