Hey Phil it is fun to see this video of you a long time ago since I know you Now. We see you so passionate about DJing and we Love you. Keep going My Man
Pity they did not put 2 sets of extra Line/Phono RCA switchable inputs on the back of the unit, it would make Timecode control with Traktor through the use of turntables or cdjs a breeze. It would sort of be like the Traktor A10 soundcard input/output idea! Possibly an option in future models but all in all an Ideal unit have considering on purchasing one! Reasonably priced too! Good review dude!
'..a little bit past beginner'? I'd say the unit itself is rather flexible in its application, not sure how one would argue for it being a beginner's unit only. Compared to many cheap units out there this to me clearly is a professional device
would have liked two stereo outs in the same format on the back pannel. like two RCA outs on the back and a third output channel on the front. having the current layout doesn't make much sense in traktor.
Im worried about all that power drain when linking these up, id like to see them working reliably linked together, thats alot of power for what could be a lot of light and audio linked up. I'm not sold till I see more than one connected controlling Traktor or Ableton.
So with this would it be easy to map to have the faders control the volume of 4 channels and the then above knobs for highs, mids, lows similar to a standard dj mixer and then use the shift button to move to the next 4 channels (5-8)? My idea is to pair this with a launchpad and control all eight channels volume using the faders for volume and the knobs for eq.
I have a question How would split the audio lines if your using a mixer in a club? So basically, I want get in there and take deck A on channel from the club mixer and deck B on the other.
How do you map two k2s with traktor? I just can map one. The other one doesn't do anything it's even in another midi channel. Also, why I can't get any sound through the k2's soundcard in traktor pro 2 but I am able to get sound when I'm running traktor 1. Help me please!
Excellent presentation video.One question:Could it be mapped as a two deck controller(=2 left collumns for deck A and the other two for deck B)? So as to have:1)buttons mapped as play,sync,browse,load etc 2)knobs for the effects(activation and parameteres) an for loops(length etc) and the up faders for pitch control(fader in the middle=pitch at original bpm)...I want to connect with an external mixer...
Can it be used with iPads since it is core midi via connection kit or powered hub? if so can it also be mapped to DJ Player app and audio routed with ios6. Please say yes
Thank you for the great review! I'm currently using Traktor + external mixer and I'm looking to upgrade my gears. I am looking at Xone products and I have a question regarding the K2/mixer combo. Could you tell me why dj's use midi controller + mixer? What are some more things you could do with that combination vs. mixer stand-alone? Thank you!
Another question, if you had one of these used connected it with a standard external mixer via rca cables would it just as easy to use the mixer to control the volume and eq for the 4 channels? Or would that require extra work?
I Philp I hope you're fine, like always thanks for your time and videos, look I have two denon sc 2000 and I would like to ask you if is possible to connect the denon to the xone k2 and then to connect the k2 to the laptop, this could be possible or is something impossible?
hi , this video and thhis machine its the best thing i see, i have some questions and your recomend...i want to use 2 controlers x1 to use 4 decks on traktor and the k2 to midi and like a interfaz!! what do you think? thanks...reguards
Hi, i ve the same question . Can all 4 channels be used in traktor with this as soundcard for output (via rca ) and monitoring all the 4 channels via headphone jack ?
Hey man, great video! Got the K2 and I love it, but could you please help me with something? I am using 2 cdj's to control deck A&B in Traktor and want xone K2 to control deck C&D. Do you know how to set it up?? Im having a really hard time... Thank You and greetings from Ireland!
I've just got one of these. It will arrive in one or two days. Where did u say u got the basic Midi map? I've got a gig on Sat and Im not going to personalize my mappings too much this time due to time constraints. Thanks in advance
How is this for midi mapping? I use Ableton Live specifically- I need a replacement for my korg nanoKontrol that is reliable and won't have issues like my Maschine MK2
dez kev Depends what you want to do, but it would work next to any other controller as long as you can map your software to it. It's not something you'd really need.
Too thin. Too light. No XLRs in the back. And companies need to give both balanced master and balanced booth on the back. We're supposed to map headphone volume in-software for the front cue jack? 1/4" jack is standard. A miss for this price.
Digital DJ Tips I’m in the market for some monitors and I’ve heard these in the store, they sound great. Would you recommend them over the more expensive Yamahas?
can you map one of the infinity knobs to control the browse section in ableton live? i made quite a research on the topic and it turns out the only existing midi controller with this function is "Push" thanks in advance
how does the sound quality on this unit go up against an dj audio10 sound card? thinking of selling my audio 10 and getting me one of these, ' BTW check this out! Creativity FTW! watch?v=pohTY2x0J2Q
This was a very watchable review, answered a lot of my questions and gave me loads more good info. Thanks.
Hey Phil it is fun to see this video of you a long time ago since I know you Now. We see you so passionate about DJing and we Love you. Keep going My Man
Thanks Robert!
I realized after I wrote that, you mentioned all the buttons are mappable :) I'll be picking one of these up this week. Thanks for the review!
Cheers, Just made the order last night- keep an eye out, I'll be rocking it in my videos going forward :D
I'm using them both, and it feels as if they're made for eachother :D
switch out the faders for horizontal dj faders, proably the knobs too, and itll be perfect

If this works with iPad for sure I'm buying now

Hi phil from italy, can i use k2 with mixer allen heath S2, without laptop,?thank)
looks awesome for ableton
@kennmmanproductions with a laptop no need for a mixer you can do it
Im worried about all that power drain when linking these up, id like to see them working reliably linked together, thats alot of power for what could be a lot of light and audio linked up.
I'm not sold till I see more than one connected controlling Traktor or Ableton.

My idea is to pair this with a launchpad and control all eight channels volume using the faders for volume and the knobs for eq.
I think that's exactly what the review is saying; this unit is past beginner stage, NOT that it's a unit for beginners, which it certainly is not.
Can all 4 channels be used in traktor for mixing with this as soundcard for output (via rca ) and monitoring all the 4 channels via headphone jack ?
does the Xone K2 not work with Serato DJ and the DB2 ??? , I can´t midi map Serato DJ via X-link to the Xone DB2.. whats the problem?
omg samle decks traktor loving it thanx phil you rule
can each fader/button/encoder be mapped to a different midi-channel, to control hardware synth or PureData patches on computer?
I have a question
How would split the audio lines if your using a mixer in a club? So basically, I want get in there and take deck A on channel from the club mixer and deck B on the other.

Is controlling the traktors remix decks possible yet as when i go into the Midi mapping in traktor the options are there??

Thank you and I would like to ask you one more thing. What more can you do with internal mixers than external ones?
In theory, which one is better for live dj'ing: the xone k2 or the ZeRO Sl mk2?
Solid explanation
Compared to the Z1? Thinking the audio card... Or should I go with a better audio card?
Can I use this in combination with a Pioneer ddj ergo K?
I use it with Traktor and i'd like to use this controller on my C+D deck...
I Philp I hope you're fine, like always thanks for your time and videos, look I have two denon sc 2000 and I would like to ask you if is possible to connect the denon to the xone k2 and then to connect the k2 to the laptop, this could be possible or is something impossible?

Hi Phil, how are you? Nice review, but can you use the 4 channels of Traktor with the K2? Thanks a lot!
Emi Galván Yes you can!
Hi, i ve the same question . Can all 4 channels be used in traktor with this as soundcard for output (via rca ) and monitoring all the 4 channels via headphone jack ?
yes
Which would you recommend for using traktor with an external mixer? This or the x1? Just for deck controll, no volume or something.
Very good review
Hey man, great video! Got the K2 and I love it, but could you please help me with something? I am using 2 cdj's to control deck A&B in Traktor and want xone K2 to control deck C&D. Do you know how to set it up?? Im having a really hard time... Thank You and greetings from Ireland!
Thanks! Would definitely reach out to the Traktor community for help setting this one up: www.native-instruments.com/en/community/
have you tried replacing the fader caps with battle style caps? is it even possible?
Ok! tnx!
@kennmmanproductions i think ya! cause you have all the function u need :)
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
excellent review mate! thank you!
QQ, no middle snap on the pots...
can i control 4 decks in traktor in external mode with the k2 ?
can you review the 4d Phil , thanks
you can do it on the launchpad, not sure on k2 though
can i use this as a mixer for traktor and use the X1 for play, pause and effects?
I've just got one of these. It will arrive in one or two days. Where did u say u got the basic Midi map? I've got a gig on Sat and Im not going to personalize my mappings too much this time due to time constraints. Thanks in advance
How is this for midi mapping? I use Ableton Live specifically- I need a replacement for my korg nanoKontrol that is reliable and won't have issues like my Maschine MK2
Can i use it together with the novation launchpad?
Can I use it as a four chanel mixer in Traktor working along with Traktor X1 Mk2? Thank You for your answers :)
yes u can
Love your vids, but echo is disturbing. Nothing personal, congrats.
Yeah we are no longer in that studio.
digitaldjtips where u get that desk man i love it?
Hi Phil. Just wanted to ask which laptop standard that is at the background? Thx!
Hi Phil, could I use this as a mixer and use the F1 and the x1 mrk 2?
Yes, you could in theory. You'd need to do some Midi mapping etc.
Could you use this to totally replace a mixer?
Hi phil would you recommend this next to a numark ns7-2? Thanksz
dez kev Depends what you want to do, but it would work next to any other controller as long as you can map your software to it. It's not something you'd really need.
Im in the house techno deephouse genre and i want to combine these two so u have more effects.. But does the xone-2 work with serato DJ?
+dez kev its basically a midi, so you can map it to any software
has this released already?
Does this work with Rekordbox?
It's not plug and play so you'd need to map it
@@digitaldjtips Many thanks!
No problem
Too thin. Too light. No XLRs in the back. And companies need to give both balanced master and balanced booth on the back. We're supposed to map headphone volume in-software for the front cue jack? 1/4" jack is standard. A miss for this price.
midi ofc it is.
can this mixer work with Serato Dj Denon Ds1??
Yes :-)
Thanks U Appreciate
Are those monitors KRKs?
Yes, good spot!
Digital DJ Tips I’m in the market for some monitors and I’ve heard these in the store, they sound great. Would you recommend them over the more expensive Yamahas?
remap as a f1
can you map one of the infinity knobs to control the browse section in ableton live? i made quite a research on the topic and it turns out the only existing midi controller with this function is "Push"
thanks in advance
yes you can
DJTT hacked traktor 2.5, so now you can :D.... check it out on their website.
Thanks Phil, do you know if I can map this to Logicx?
It is a Midi controller so yes, it would work in that instance like any other Midi controller.
