Traktor Z1

this changes everything.... its a must have! this paired with an x1 and a midi fighter, is an unstoppable combo. i must say this REALLY puts the hurt on the midifighter mixer djtechtools was planing.....

also this is pretty valuable tool for on the go producers, who just want a small 24/96 sound card that doubles as a mixer.. Genius move NI

I think the lack of MIDI transport controllers holds it back

It's for iPad users, and computer users who want to use it modular style with an X1 or F1 though. Although from a purely iPad perspective, for me it would've been perfect with the four cue buttons from the Z2 to use as transport/cues. - these are still functions I'd rather use as physical buttons.

I don't use software of any kind, so excuse my lack of insight. This is basically just a mixer, correct?

This is basically just a mixer, correct?

Yes and no. It's a MIDI controller laid out like a mixer, with a built-in soundcard. The Traktor software does the mixing.

$199? Take my money!!!

Yes and no. It's a MIDI controller laid out like a mixer, with a built-in soundcard. The Traktor software does the mixing.

So if you wanted a similar feeling to, say an S2, what would you use it in conjunction with? An X1? Isn't an X1 also a midi controller? I confusey.

eh, i don't see it as that much of a game changer, but i might be wrong

Boo internal mixing. Got me excited for a sec.
