Official Traktor Kontrol D2 Discussion

[Jester]

My trusty old X1's are over 4 years old now matey. Nice upgrade, we shall see.

[mostapha]

I may just get another X1 because the user feedback on the Rane 2015 has me thinking that plus some controllers is my next setup

Yeah....if I didn't already own a 2016, I'd have bought a 2015 by now. Idk....I still like my 2016 enough that I might not upgrade...certainly not any time soon. This is already going to be too expensive of a year for that.

3 please! I think I'll wait until I move to the UK, ship my Alken and Heath mixer over and get a job. The Aussie dollar is plummeting at the moment

Expensive indeed! The 2016 plus my old Audio 8 was my potential setup until they threw that 2015 at us. My goal to go modular is centered around playing some gigs where there is a mixer present and dragging a main controller would be tight. Love the S8, but too big in that situation.
The only good news for me is I'm a creature of habit and any new setup will last me years as long as it is solid technicalally

[mostapha]

It took a while for me to get there, but....yeah. I think the D2 is just enough better than the F1 that it's worth a chance. You know....if I remember it exists when it hits shelves.

[Patch]

Are those squidgy pads, or 'orrible clicky ones like the F1???

[theconsole]

So, 499 is too steep for me. Is the X1 mk2 I bought over xmas now gonna be obsolete?

[Karlos Santos]

The D2 is in no way designed as an X1 replacement... FACT.

[ekwipt]

Really? It sort of superceeds them though? Doubting there will be an X11 MK3 after these?

What's your thoughts Karlos?

DJWorx have reported the UK D2 price on the NI website of £429 as being incorrect - price is now stated as being £369 each.
