About this product
The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 is a single-deck controller focused on effects and looping. It features a black tabletop design with LED lighting, and offers controls for delay, reverb, and filter effects. With its compact size and USB connectivity, it's perfect for DJs who want to add hands-on FX control to their Traktor setup without taking up much space.
Our take
The X1 is built for DJs who want to get hands-on with Traktor's effects. The dedicated filter, delay, and reverb controls are a pleasure to use—the knobs have a nice resistance. It's lightweight and small, so it's easy to incorporate into a mobile setup. However, it's strictly a controller, so you'll need to pair it with an audio interface or mixer. The lack of transport controls (play, cue, sync) is a bit of a letdown; you'll still need a keyboard or another controller for that. For the price, it's a great companion piece for enhancing your live sets.
