Xone: K2 Thread

Hmm debating buying a pair of K2s.

I've already realized I'm not going to go the CDJ route any time soon. I don't need K2s and my X1s work fine but I like the idea of xlink with the DB4. I also probably have little use for the knobs and faders. I don't know it is probably excessive with the db4 but it would look pretty sweet with two of them on either side and the soundcards are nice for a portable setup and if aggregating is reliable would prevent needing to bring another soundcard.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks.

Is anyone working on a video of the k2's in use? I'd really like to see it working with the DB4/2. I can't find any vids anywhere... just people explaining what the k2 is and does. It weird to me not to seeing this in action.

Does A&H ever put out vids of their gear in use?.... before they put out on the market?

How would you set this up , I am getting a K2 and and trying to get maschine into my setup as well .

The latch button by default is in an OFF state, unless you went through the setup and set it to have layers, no LEDs will be on when plugged in.

Also don't forget to change your MIDI channel to 14 if you try out the traktor TSI included.

I messed around with the traktor mapping last night and i actually liked it for what it was. I'm still trying to figure out what i want to use it with, also debating sending it back as it may just be surplus for me lol.

Fun fact: local price per unit is $720 :huh2:

the fuck?

damn sometimes I take electronics prices in the US for granted

Best part is since S4 are gonna be scarse for around 4 months (dunno why) he wanted me to trade it in for a pair of K2... I do want a pair but i'm not that stupid.

We have a review unit here in the office. I haven't had a good play with them along side the DB2 yet but first impressions are that it is very well built, feels super solid and very well engineered. Def puts the X1 to shame

Do u just select the k2 as your soundcard in maschine preferences , would all the Traktor functions work fine although you are running sound from maschine through the k2

But is this actually possible? From what I know, you need a USB connection to transmit audio...
