Kontrol F1 saga Poll

Wanted to gauge Traktor users stance on the Kontrol F1

i am the %100! lol

Not any more your not

Zero interest in the remix decks

5

I’m definitely interested in the remix decks as the current sample decks are just not that useful to me. I have Ableton and use it for some things, but not for straight-up DJing. I like Traktor a lot too, but the sample decks just don’t give me the flexibility of doing “Ableton-like” stuff. I like to mix just straight up DJ’ing and some live remixing/performance…so What is ideal is either
a) Ableton with some extra functionality to do some DJ’ing or
b) Traktor with some extra functionality to do some live remixing…

Choice depends on whether you need more live performance/remixing functionality or more DJ’ing functionality. And yes, I know that I could run Ableton and Traktor at the same time, but that just seems like a huge hassle…

So I will likely get an F1,but am not super pleased with NI on this.

6

Don’t really care about the remix decks enough just yet, but I am pretty disgusted with where NI is headed. The extra sample decks I have now will do just fine…

7

not interested in the remix decks. only thing i´m interested is the improved bpm detection

8

Really what I would like to see is the implementation of VSTs being able to be used for better effects…

9

I’m intrested in the remix decks but will simply use ableton to do the task. I don’t need a new controller.

10

+1000.

I would LOVE to see that implemented.

11

Same, I don’t need a new or another controller.

I have space on my APC80 that is unused at the moment. It was actually set aside…waiting for Remix Decks.

Well…I guess it will now be…Insta FX…ala Live and a VST setup there.

12

I am getting tired of NI and their hardware upgrades. I used to LOVE NI but now that I see they are in it for only the money and starting to get greedy, it really disappoints me as a long time NI supporter that they don’t do more for the DJ.

In any event, it is an over priced piece of gear that won’t really enhance my ability. It would be nice but definitely not necessity.

13

I also hate when companies try to be fiscally successful. :roll_eyes:

14

Key word is greedy

15

I had to choose “other”, because my choice is missing.

“Interested in both the F1 and the Mix Decks, but am disappointed in the direction NI is taking with them, so no thank you.”

scamo

16

I own S4 and Maschine and now I am forced to buy the F1 after having already spent almost 1500 bucks on NI equipment?! Thanks guys, go away!
I have always been a huge NI fanboy but this is a really disappointing step. I think I will rather go with a Traktor-Ableton Live combo using Ableton Live for these live remix purposes.

17

im not really interested. honestly it would have been cool to have the mapping functionality there just to try it out, then maybe if I would have liked it enough I would have considered buying an f1.

Im not really sure where NI is going with this. It’s like there locking away what made traktor so damn great in the first place. The idea that you could have complete control over the most powerful DJ software and truly make it your own is what drew me, and I’m sure most of this community, into traktor in the first place.

18

That’s what it is!
And this can be done with every DAW. So it’s a shame what NI does!

19

Disgusted at NI’s stance tbqh
I can’t see the point in paying for another copy of TP2 that I have no use for and can’t sell on.
If there’s a discount for current subscribers to their software program I might consider it, I’d still rather be able to map an Ableton style controller or the iPad to use the new features tho.

20

I don’t see it that way, they’re including software with every product which is a good thing and you can sell on the serial number if you want?

I’m quite looking forward to having a play with the f1 And if it’s no good there should be some x1’s out there for less
