About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 DJ Controller with USB audio interface is a 2-channel tabletop double deck controller featuring 16 pads, effects including loop/sampler, delay, distortion, echo, roll, robot, reverb, flanger, filter, and pitch shifting. It has no mic, phono, or line inputs, but offers USB and analog RCA outputs. Priced at $89.99, this unit supports 24-bit/96 kHz sampling.
Our take
The Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 is essentially a controller-only unit with no audio inputs, which limits its use to controlling software. The 16 pads and extensive effects suite are great for triggering samples and loops. At $89.99, it's a good deal if you already have a mixer or audio interface. I find the lack of inputs frustrating for standalone use, but the USB audio interface is handy. Build is compact and portable, ideal for minimal setups.
