Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 mk2 Walkthrough Demo

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@misha2323]

Got it yesterday, love this controller! With this simple controller & Traktor you can put all the computers power for mixing etc. Really happy!

[@hattoom]

Watched this over and over . Helpful every single time . Thank u soo much for great help

[@Mojaxx]

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!

[@LegPuppy]

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

[@flamedub]

Its plug and play mate. You 'may' need to DL the driver from NI.

[@SacredCourt]

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

[@manmadeofCO2]

Thank you so much for this walkthrough. Just getting into traktor in 2021 and loving it!

[@gregorious123]

bought mk2 today. This video really helped me understand all the features straight away. Cheers

[@bboymac84]

You can control Tempo to each deck by holding sync and turning the loop knob on the corresponding deck.

[@NachosPizza]

Excellent demo. I was on the fence with buying this hardware to supplement my mixer, and I'm sold.

[@immyvideo]

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

[@Mojaxx]

As you can probably tell from the video, I'm really digging it! Will definitely be adding one to my setup. Thanks for watching.

[@TerenceKearns]

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.

[@scapa2510]

Great video, the best demo I've seen for these controllers. Thanks

[@lairdriver]

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.

[@naqueal]

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.

[@crabreaper3708]

Sorry but you'd need a sound card or another mixer.

[@cautiontext]

7 yrs later, can you assign the effects buttons to the EQ? Thanks M8

[@martinmonckton5291]

just bought kontrol x1mk2 love using it

[@crabreaper3708]

Just watched a video of chris bracelet on DJTT. I search up a mix with the MK2 and here he is again lol

[@bboymac84]

Hey Mo I shift Mapped my EQs to the X1 Mk2! More control more power!

[@Panslapper]

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!

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@Dedabile]

Grateful or a state of the art tutorial! Thanks mate

[@jeremyrichardson4717]

Thanks mate fantastic job!

[@MarlySmith]

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

[@JeanPH1977]

Thanks! Very helpful video!

[@AlexLeonard]

Great review and walkthrough, thanks. Would love to see you do a similar video on the F1 controller :)

[@nathanw57]

Brilliant presentation! And with only a short time on the deck. Subscribing and putting you up for an OBE.

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@viktorianagy5841]

Great video, brilliant tutorial. Thanks a lot

[@immyvideo]

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!

[@opusarena808]

On point explanation 👍

[@BroetchenMaker]

great nad informative video big thanx :)

[@vladimirvarus7858]

man you are the man!!! THANKS..much love

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@Mojaxx]

Thanks guys!

[@ninjalightning2631]

I always loved your videos can I use this with chain hooked with my Traktor Z1 going to MacBook

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@jogonjoneth]

thank you for breaking it all down ..great tutorial ...u have helped me so much !!!!!!

[@l__bugc__l]

Great tutorial. Thanks for this ! :)

[@bitoomcom]

Cool video! We have now 10% Off for buyers in Europe for this unit! :)

[@loveispower2997]

Reloop mixtour or the X1 in your professional opinion which is the better choice

[@djdunods]

Okay now i get it. Thx

[@dominikwujek4126]

Great damn review mate! I hate people showing me manufacturers webstes of reviewed gear lawl

[@lucanix.lucasmelo]

GREAT! THANKS! O MELHOR TUTORIAL QUE EU VI ATÉ AGORA!

[@akshaymalhotra4943]

loved your video...... im new to traktor and this was great...!!!!

[@francescopaolopetralia153]

Perfect Explanation my Friend very nice ;)

[@jamesyouens4381]

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

[@cheefDJ]

Good work mate. Very thorough.

[@mdzic7628]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@awkwardsquadproject]

Excellent work sir

[@TheAdLab]

Great video, thanks for making it

[@hattoom]

got a question 4u: if it's plug and play then how do I listen to the other deck on my headphone??

[@ibiza3times]

Excellent Video! Well done

[@kolakaos]

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.

[@nicklodozov2362]

Thanks!

[@GrahamThorne]

This was really helpful thank you.

[@cryptout]

Knobs 😄 Great explanation mate!

[@hedayatkhosravi6313]

perfect demo ...

[@charly92257]

Great review!

[@emigalvantv]

great review! right to the point!

[@hamidrezajaberi8396]

Thanks a lot for great help

[@badgextc]

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.

[@hattoom]

Best tutorial bro

[@smashcorefilms]

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?

[@sandrofrog]

Very Compliments!

[@svenvandewynckel5642]

Can you adjust the pitch? you can with the MK 1 version. Nice video, got a lot of tips.

[@AnalogTube1]

How do the sliders function with serato?????? and to what degree?????? Hard to find great vids, nice work.!!!

[@hattoom]

thanks ma man dope vid

[@kersehcoca]

can you change between decks AB / CD on the fly?

[@andrewlanza5344]

press both reloop buttons

[@andrewlanza5344]

at the same time

[@kylbeller4243]

Awesome vid! How did you set the flux button to bring up cues 5-8?

[@SanDelecto]

THANKS FOR THE HELP:D

[@kosmar]

any idea how i might turn that 'browse on touch' off for virtualdj?

[@flaviusmiller1157]

the best!!!

[@Xopher30]

Great tutorial - thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@jackthake7209]

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

[@maikb7223]

hello, congratulations cool tutorial, I wanted to ask, what version of traktor do you use?

[@Feddearanda09102000]

which is the pitch because I do not like to use sync?? Thanks

[@owenkitto27]

can you use the ribbon slider to fast rewind and forward the track???

[@Mojaxx]

You certainly can. It does pitch bend when the track is playing, and scrubs when the track is paused.

[@ianleverich]

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!

[@BUNGLEathome]

Would you rather have two of these with a Z1 or the new Akai AMX and 2 Akai AFX?

[@Djmcode2000]

Have you tried using this as a standalone fx add in for a basic controller like the s2 mk3

[@Simjeon]

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

[@StankoBeronja]

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?

[@matthewdavidpope]

Good question ... exactly what I want to know

[@sdot3358]

Anyone got an answer? Lol

[@itsmorphed6416]

You need a mixer also . These are just decks

[@moodsmusic1]

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

[@TheGullyGreene]

Can you connect one up to the XDJ-XZ

[@MetaAudio]

Nice Thank you

[@mikedubz5576]

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.

[@spoofertricks]

thanks bro nice vid

[@Mojaxx]

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.

[@MG9]

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?

usefull THX

[@sandeep_ram97]

Can you use the Knobs as your Gains? High ,mid and low?

[@praveenshm]

dont have volume controller ?

[@francescopaolopetralia153]

Grazie :=)

[@betito8587]

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

[@henriquexavier1000]

I just bought the traktor kontrol x1 mk2 and when i registered to download the program, it says that i dont have permission! why??

[@TheGulb]

Does anybody know if you also can adjust Hi Mid and Low with it ?

[@gdjobufckngfruitcake]

so inside traktor what do you use to adjust lets say shift+flux functions, or things like that? aka editing a mapping?

[@djpop8668]

How to use pitchbend in mk2 series

[@SattishPrasadL]

Can you help me to turn off browser knob sensitivity in tractor pro preference Thank you in advance

[@djdunods]

Can you do pitch changing with mk2

[@BFLATINUM]

Nice video. How well does this unit interact with Serato/SSL?
