This includes 52 hardware controls—including 12 analog and 6 endless rotary encoders with push switch, 4 linear faders, and 30 backlit performance switches. This digital DJ controller is ideal for live performers and DJs who need an external controller to take their performances to the next stage.

When I use this mapping, I use the club mixer as my soundcard and use the K1s/K2s only as controllers. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You can use an RJ45 cable, but I don’t advise experimenting with plugging the Xone K2 into networks! Instead, I decided to power up Algoriddim’s djay software, mainly because it is ridiculously simple to map Midi controllers to.Perhaps it’s just a little squished for really going to town with the 4×4 section as if it were a pad controller, but it’s spaced well enough that you won’t worry about tripping up on nearby buttons. If you are approved for a credit limit with PayPal Credit and use it for future purchases, the APR for those purchases wont be more than 23. There is an X:Link ethernet in/output for expanding upon the control capabilities as well as working to distribute power and data so you can connect to X:Link compatible units like the Xone:DB4/DB2 and Xone:43/43C mixers. Suffice to say that the audio from the unit is perfectly passable, and crucially, it’s also loud enough for both headphones and feeding either straight to powered speakers/PA or into an external mixer.

The Xone:K2 also has a high-quality four-channel (2 stereo) 48kHz audio interface, allowing you to monitor your tracks with headphones or feed audio via a PA system or attach it to an external DJ mixer. Whether you are working with stems, triggering samples or creating new sounds on the fly, the Xone:K2 keeps you firmly in control, no matter how creative and spontaneous the live show gets. Xone:K2 is a DJ’s best friend: lots of hands-on control in a lightweight and compact design that will slide into your existing setup and fit into the most cramped DJ booths. Hi Luis – I am thinking of getting one to use a as a mixer for use with my laptop – I just need something that can control up to 3 channels, control the eq and cue / kick off looping etc – it sounds like it does all that? Se il mixer ha un’interfaccia audio integrata, puoi utilizzare il mixer come scheda audio per TRAKTOR.

As well as keeping it safe on the road, the case doubles as a stand, elevating the K2 up to the same height as most pro DJ mixers. Use the mixer’s Latching Layers system to assign controls to multiple layers—giving one physical control up to 3 functions. But I can see myself going back to Live tbh, if only bc the timestretch sounds better, although I thought it was the same algorithm that was used by Serato which has the worst sounding timestretch/keylock imho. I don’t know whether this is something to do with the hive mind that people are talking more and more about since Twitter became a ‘thing’, but the amount of controllers that are pointing towards the exact same workflow, all coming out within a timeframe too condensed to allow us to infer much in the way of copycat tactics, is staggering. Labelling aside, the K2 has so many advantages over the X1 that to put them in direct competition is a little fascile.

We supply AV hire production companies, installer / integrators, retailers and resellers operating within the live entertainment, leisure, commercial, residential and retail markets throughout the UK. What’s more, this alternative doesn’t have the Traktor focus as far as labelling and control layout goes, and so will be equally at home mapped to whatever software you choose. Really satisfied with xone K2 Extremely flexible great sound card and the possibility to map the K2 your own way is perfect.The second mode adds in the switches under the pots, and the top four endless encoders, but leaves the pots and faders unaffected. MIDI Control: Xone:K2 is a compact designed MIDI Controller for use with any DJ software such as Ableton, Virtual DJ, MixVibes, Mixx and Traktor Pro.
