Hi everyone!
This is my walkthrough of the new Traktor Kontrol X1 mk2 controller from Native Instruments.
It's designed to work seamlessly Traktor Pro, but can also be used with Serato Scratch Live or any other software that accepts midi control input.
To use the X1 mk2 natively with Traktor you'll need to install the 2.6.3 upgrade of the software, and after that it should work straight away.
Where possible I've captured the screens on my computer to give you a proper close-up look at what's going on when you hook the Kontrol X1 mk2 up to your software.

Thank you so much for this walkthrough. Just getting into traktor in 2021 and loving it!
Got it yesterday, love this controller! With this simple controller & Traktor you can put all the computers power for mixing etc. Really happy!
Hi djdunods, yes you can change tempo, I forgot to mention it in the video! The change is done with various combinations of holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob on each deck.
I like how you went to the trouble of including shortcuts to other sections in the video. Great idea. Keep up the good work. Great review.
Great video, the best demo I've seen for these controllers.
Thanks
Excellent demo. I was on the fence with buying this hardware to supplement my mixer, and I'm sold.
bought mk2 today. This video really helped me understand all the features straight away. Cheers
As you can probably tell from the video, I'm really digging it! Will definitely be adding one to my setup. Thanks for watching.
Watched this over and over . Helpful every single time . Thank u soo much for great help
Thanks for saying so! And thanks to everyone who's said similar things below. I don't have much time to check comments on these videos anymore, but I hope you're all keeping up with my videos for DJTechtools now. Big up!
question, Im running an old version of Trakor, I sold my S4 with the original discs. Is this just plug and play? Or will I need to use my serial number which is now registered with someone else
Its plug and play mate. You 'may' need to DL the driver from NI.
Having two of this together with the playdifferently model 1 is amazing, really small and simple decks, as you are mostly using your model 1
quality and very good walkthrough of this mate! im after one now that ive just gotten my hands on the Traktor Scratch Audio 6 and its a real pain not being able to use effects because of the mixer iuse in the club im at hasnt got any on it, thanks a lot pal! subbed and liked x
Awesome thats handy for me as I play back to back with another DJ on his own rig. I cannot wait to get my hands on the X1 MK2
GREAT! THANKS! O MELHOR TUTORIAL QUE EU VI ATÉ AGORA!
Grateful or a state of the art tutorial! Thanks mate
Brilliant presentation! And with only a short time on the deck. Subscribing and putting you up for an OBE.
just bought kontrol x1mk2 love using it
Great review and walkthrough, thanks.
Would love to see you do a similar video on the F1 controller :)
Hey Mo I shift Mapped my EQs to the X1 Mk2! More control more power!
man you are the man!!! THANKS..much love
You can control Tempo to each deck by holding sync and turning the loop knob on the corresponding deck.
Thanks mate fantastic job!
Thanks guys!
Cool, well I think with that function, combined with the touchstrips for pitch bending, you should find that very straightforward with the X1 mk2. Thanks again.
Thanks! Very helpful video!
Great video, brilliant tutorial. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the walk thru. No plans on being a DJ but this device looks like a cool & convenient way to play music in my Photography studio in a sort of juke box type setup with some fun features to mash up and remix some tracks.
Sorry but you'd need a sound card or another mixer.
This was really helpful thank you.
Great tutorial. Thanks for this ! :)
loved your video...... im new to traktor and this was great...!!!!
Hi David, you can't do that in native mode, but you have the option in the preferences to setup the Flux button so it goes to cues 5-8 with just one button push, which I find very useable.
Good work mate. Very thorough.
great nad informative video big thanx :)
Great video, thanks for making it
Thanks a lot for great help
On point explanation 👍
I actually bought this to DJ at home with instead of using the APC 40 mk2 all the time. I midi mapped it to be a fully self contained controller for Traktor. I have the headphone split as well.
What’s up Mojaxx
First of all, keep the videos and content coming! I find all of your DJcity and this channels content highly informative and you have a clear and simple way of explaining the kit your using.
I bought one of these to amp up my setup which was primarily a pair of 1210s so I added and X1 to avoid forking out hundreds on a pair of cdj2000s. I don’t suppose you have had much experience with remapping the X1 so it’s a bit more ‘user friendly’ or Personalised to a individuals workflow?
Peace
Perfect Explanation my Friend very nice ;)
Excellent Video! Well done
perfect demo ...
thank you for breaking it all down ..great tutorial ...u have helped me so much !!!!!!
Great review!
Excellent work sir
Nice Thank you
Great damn review mate! I hate people showing me manufacturers webstes of reviewed gear lawl
Best tutorial bro
Very Compliments!
Thank you!!!!!!
THANKS FOR THE HELP:D
thanks ma man dope vid
Thanks!
thanks bro nice vid
Okay now i get it. Thx
the best!!!
great review! right to the point!
7 yrs later, can you assign the effects buttons to the EQ? Thanks M8
Hi,
Being late to the scene ( coming from 1210s) and wanting to move to a pure NI portable setup I'm looking at the X1 + Audio2dj coupled with my MacBook.
Question: Can I assign a crossfade or channel faders with the X1 stand alone + the Audio2?
If not, then can I use the crossfader and channel faders with decksA+B on the X1?
Thanks lots.
bravooooooooo :)
Hi!! How am i able to change the position of the red "needle". So that the red stripe is not in the middle, as in this video
usefull THX
Just watched a video of chris bracelet on DJTT. I search up a mix with the MK2 and here he is again lol
Knobs 😄 Great explanation mate!
Grazie :=)
Those touch strips will ease the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury in the wrist from spinning the platters looking for needle drops and be beneficial for arthritic older DJs!
so inside traktor what do you use to adjust lets say shift+flux functions, or things like that? aka editing a mapping?
Hello!
I'd like to know if I can still assign/map specific knobs to other parameters? Like for example, I'd assign the top most knobs to the vertical volume faders of traktors deck A and deck B.
Is this possible?
Thanks NI.
I always loved your videos can I use this with chain hooked with my Traktor Z1 going to MacBook
got a question 4u: if it's plug and play then how do I listen to the other deck on my headphone??
Great tutorial - thanks for taking the time to make it!
I use Traktor Scratch Pro version 2.6.3; if you want to use the X1 mk2 in native control mode, you must use that version.
Awesome vid! How did you set the flux button to bring up cues 5-8?
Great video, I've subscribed. Do you know if you can pitch shift with it, or is it pitch nudge only?
Seems like you have got to grips with Traktor very rapidly btw!
Nice video!
I have a question for you!
I am considering buying one of these, however, im not a big fan of auto syncing etc. I have a pair of 1210's with traktor scratch pro 1, I enjoy mixing my tunes as id they where records using pitch on the decks etc.
The only uses i can see on the Kontroller are the effects, and i like the jog wheel for track selection (Instead of using the pc mouse)
I can see you have decks, do you think its worth getting one of these for the money?
Cheers
Does anybody know if you also can adjust Hi Mid and Low with it ?
Would you rather have two of these with a Z1 or the new Akai AMX and 2 Akai AFX?
hello, congratulations cool tutorial, I wanted to ask, what version of traktor do you use?
I just bought the traktor kontrol x1 mk2 and when i registered to download the program, it says that i dont have permission! why??
So I'm currently saving up for a ddj rb, and after watching this I'm wondering if I should go for the X1 MK2 now or wait until I can afford the ddj rb? any tips or ideas are well appreciated! thanks
Can you use the Knobs as your Gains? High ,mid and low?
How to use pitchbend in mk2 series
Can you adjust the pitch? you can with the MK 1 version. Nice video, got a lot of tips.
Can I use it just with my Mac and my amplifier or I will need something else, like the interface Z1? And does it work with the old version Traktor Pro? Thank you a lot
Can you help me to turn off browser knob sensitivity in tractor pro preference
Thank you in advance
Hi mate any idea of how to use this masterpiece with scratch live 2.5? badly need some advice!!
any idea how i might turn that 'browse on touch' off for virtualdj?
Thanks! I forgot to mention it in the video, but you can adjust the bpm by holding down the Sync button and turning the loop knob. Pushing down the knob at the same time does it in greater increments, and holding sync and pushing the loop knob down without turning resets the pitch to zero; that will be very handy for me using DVS.
Can you adjust the master tempo from the X1?
which is the pitch because I do not like to use sync?? Thanks
Have you tried using this as a standalone fx add in for a basic controller like the s2 mk3
Hey mojaxx, can i add an x1 mk2 to my ddj-rb for a easiest loops control?
Reloop mixtour or the X1 in your professional opinion which is the better choice
hi mojaxx, this is compatible with pioneer ddj t1 so i can play with more effects on top of the ones that the t1 has? thanks!
Hi, can i assign Fx and Loop Section to deck A&B and the bottom section to Remix Deck?? i need to control fx and remix deck but i don't now if i need 2 x1 mk1 or only 1 x1
mk2
Can you connect one up to the XDJ-XZ
How do the sliders function with serato?????? and to what degree??????
Hard to find great vids, nice work.!!!
So as you showed in the video, when you hit Shift + Flux and you get cues 5-8, does that continue throughout the rest of the tracks you play, or does it need to repeated for each track? Also, is this a built in feature?
Cool video! We have now 10% Off for buyers in Europe for this unit! :)
Quick question i own a x1mk1 and the thing i use the most is if my track is a couple of beat back or front i use the seek scroll knob to bring the beat a bit front or back to enter the mix point on time now. This mk2 only has one center knob how do you perform that on this mk2?
My NES Mac m1 does not support my sl4 and my old trusty x1 mk1 so i do not what to buy the mk2 and have more gear to spare.
Any help would be great.
Nice video. How well does this unit interact with Serato/SSL?
how to adjust the tempo?
