Native Instruments Announces TRAKTOR KONTROL X1
BERLIN - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Native Instruments today announced TRAKTOR KONTROL X1, a highly
functional performance controller that provides DJs of all styles and
genres with a highly efficient and intuitive way to control loop, cue,
effect, track selection and transport functions of their TRAKTOR DJ
software. The unit accommodates the two most common digital DJing
paradigms - it ideally complements a typical timecode-controlled TRAKTOR
SCRATCH setup consisting of a hardware mixer, turntables or CD decks,
and also excels as a self-contained controller for DJs who play
beat-gridded tracks with the TRAKTOR software and mix externally.
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 is equipped with precise and durable high-quality
buttons, knobs and encoders, complemented by dynamic colored
backlighting for additional visual feedback. The unit has been
specifically designed for heavy-duty usage in performance environments.
Its compact casing is both robust and lightweight for high portability,
while the optional high-quality carrying bag doubles as a versatile
stand that conveniently raises the controller surface to match the
height of typical DJ mixers.
Beyond TRAKTOR, the KONTROL X1 can be used to efficiently control any
MIDI-compatible performance application. The X1 also comes with a
carefully designed set of parameter assignments for the Serato Scratch
Live system, matching the relevant features of the software
to the controller in an ideal way without any individual setup effort.
Pricing and availability
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 will be available in February 2010 for a suggested
price of $229 / 199 €.
