Funny story: It looks like the left gain is also not calibrated like mine. It's also not aligned at the zero position with the value of 50.

Dope. 2025 quest to DJ with AL Session view only, I’m using a MIDI fighter now, which has more fun buttons 🧮 cool colors 🌈 and well generalized 🥛 . I contemplated the Zone K2, but seeing how this goes in 2025 will be fun. Thanks for the deep dive. Keep it poppin’.

I'm thinking about buying it. But I' use Rekordbox... Wondering if it is good enough

Does anyone know if Traktor will be bringing out new versions of their full controllers with the new buttons any time soon?

This does have a play button. You just need to engage shift in the settings. Same as the old z1

I hate that most of there controllers don’t have the main fx buttons

I want to buy a xone k2 and 2x traktor x1
I think it’s better to have a xone over this because you can have 4 decks way easier than thi

The crossfader is flimsy and loose. Mine came with a faulty cross fader.

The controllers are coming the controllers are coming…again. Mid 2000’s was an epic wave of purpose built MIDI controllers, I fell like a new wave is coming in hot 🥵 especially when “club standard” is $19 million USD. Stay curious.

I tried my usb it didn’t work 😮 only the original usb cable

As far as I'm concerned the lack of dedicated load track/play/pause buttons and an encoder wheel for track browsing makes this thing useless as a standalone controller. It's incredibly obvious that this was designed to force you to buy the extra modules in order to extract more profits, which completely defeats the purpose of it's portability factor anyways. At least in Rekordbox you can custom map it so that there's a bit more functionality in the one little controller but as it stands it's a toy.

At this point can we still call this a DJ controller? To me it looks like the manufacturer's way to sell a device with less functionality for a price of a basic controller with jogs. Come on, its just a sound card with a coulle of pots...

To be honest i'm disappointed in the quality of the knobs. I have the S4 MK2 and purchased the x1 and z1 for portability. But changing the gain on tracks has been a pain, as the knobs don't provide the same calibration/control. and so it jumps over the place. Despite attempting to adjust the sensitivity, it's still the same. I wonder if the older versions would be better. Also the crossfader has not ticks to help you keep centered.

The OG Z1 is better than this new model, especially since they have completely dropped support for Traktor 2 for iPad. I have been using that combo for ten years! I gotta pack lite when I travel to DJ and the OG unit works great on iPad but NI have stated on their website that it no longer supports the app. Stems are not as important to me vs portability. Also NI does not have a cloud save, track meta data, playlists, track prep across devices like Alpha Theta's Rekordbox. Apparently the future isnt now over NI.😢
