anyone knows the history of x1 mk1 ?

[dakor300]

what I know is that NI alongside Richie Hawtin, as a collaborator, helped wing creation of x1 Mk1 , nose the exact year I went on sale nor why I was allowed to sell or promote on page NI . obviously from the output of x1 mk2 , NI wanted to obscure its first legacy x1 Mk1 , erasing any trace of life on their website , anyone know why ? I'm sorry very interested in having a x1 mk1 , but do not want to buy second hand , if anyone knows any secret because I did not realize that, I think it's good place to comment greetings .

It's perfectly normal for a product to be removed from the manufacturer's shop once a new version (mk2) is released. The X1 MK1 has been discontinued on August 1st 2013 and i doubt you can find a brand new device since most retailers have sold them out almost 2 years ago.

The original X1 was released in early 2010. Why was it allowed to be sold on NI's website? Easy, It was the first proper Traktor controller, before that people where either using Maschine (MK1), DVS or third party devices. The X1 was originally envisioned as a side on controller for DVS setups. Not really sure why you think there's a conspiracy going on.

There is a conspiracy. NI kept the nuke codes in the first 100 X1's. This is why Obama has two X1's in his mobile DJ setup.
