Robust rotary knobs with a heavy-duty feel and backlit buttons provide precise visual and tactile status feedback- letting you delve deep inside Traktor without having to touch your computer. The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 DJ Controller gives you instant control over your decks and effect parameters in Traktor or other DJ software. PS experience tells me I’m fairly heavy-handed on my kit, and I do need to be able to lug it around too.” Digital DJ Tips says: Also, would it be easy enough adding a Maschine or a Traktor Kontrol F1 or two to spice things up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, also regarding any other controllers. Also I’m worried about Traktor 2.5 and future Traktor mapping. “My worry is that it has been discontinued and therefore replacement parts may be hard to come by. ![]() The only controller that has caught my attention is the Allen and Heath Xone:DX, as it looks tough as nails, has replaceable components, is relatively easily transported, has a decent sound card, has XLR, booth out and phono inputs.” My main requirements are using the Traktor software, with the ability of delving into controllerism. Being able to scratch would be an added bonus but not essential. Serato can be used only with supported hardware, so check their list of supported controllers first.Digital DJ Tips reader Dave writes: “I’ve been a trad DJ for donkeys but for various reasons have decided to go digital, so I’m looking for the best Traktor controller for techno DJing. Just check if the control surface used MIDI (all DJ control surfaces should be able to do this, I haven't see one that doesn't, just make sure to check if this is the case just to be sure), and you will be able to use it with any of the top DJ software.Ĭheck the specifics of the software you are using before deciding though. Some controls include mapping for all or some DJ software, and some DJ software include mapping for some DJ control surfaces, so you don't have to do the mapping manually. The DJ software will let you specify which controls do which actions. "Mapping" refers to how the controls in the surface (knobs, buttons, plates, sliders, etc) map to the controls in the software. Check the manual, data sheet, or ask a representative to be sure. Sometimes it's because the surface was designed with that software in mind. Sometimes the included software is just an extra. It's more common that a control surface is designed for any MIDI capable DJ software in general though. But that doesn't mean that you can't use it with other software. Sometimes a control surface layout is designed around a specific software, in which case you might want to use that software since it might add extra functionality and/or easy of use. I'm not aware of a modern DJ control surface that doesn't use MIDI, but just to be sure check the manual, data sheet (Amazon's suck, check the official one), or contact a representative before purchasing. This means that as long as your control surface uses MIDI you should be able to use it with any DJ software. And all the top DJ software accepts MIDI as input. ![]() Most (if not all) DJ control surfaces designed to control DJ software use MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) to communicate with the program. What is it that has to match up between the hardware and the software for the two to be compatible?
