Have fun.

Interesting!

Will be keen to see some comparisons between this and the A&H 1D...

199 euros.... hmmmm

[Paco Loco]

Yeah and that seems even worse when converted into pounds at the current exchange rate....
I wonder what the UK RRP will be.

I hope NI does well with this new controller.

Trust me it rips the arse out of the A&H 1d.
The 1d doesnt even compare.

[Paco Loco]

Surely you could map the 1D to operate pretty much exactly the same as this if you wanted to?
Or am I missing something?

[Karlos Santos]

Possibly but the X1 has been designed to work intuitively with Traktor with multi function buttons its way more powerful than the 1D and a lot easier to use with Traktor. It also has a little trick up its sleeve to make it communicate with traktor .

[Jo3]

can you plug 2 together so you only need one usb? having an audio 8 and 2 of these would mean a USB hub....surely NI has thought of that? Fingers crossed.

This trick, is it user configurable like midi mapping? or is the whole thing set in it's ways when it comes to how it works with Traktor? I have already imagined some good uses for this thing with it's high def resolution, but is no good unless the thing is mappable.
