The polished front panel suffers from the same smudge issues as all the other Kontrol hardware. The knobs, button and faders all feel rubbery and cozy between the fingers with good resistance. The whole surface is HID/MIDI apart from the cue and master volume faders.Īs previously mentioned, the Z1 is exactly the same size as the rest of the range, and has the same build quality. It’s a standard layout, apart from the two large filter knobs half-way up. If you’ve ever used a two-channel mixer you’ll feel at home with this unit.

There’s also a card with serial numbers for the hardware and Traktor LE 2.
The box comes with a power supply, a standard USB cable and a short cable to plug the USB port into an iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch. If you’ve ever picked up or used the rest of the range, you know what to expect. Apart from that, the Z1 is solid and compact. Removing this from the box, I was a bit dismayed to see that NI insisted on revisiting the glossy surface finish they hinted at with the S controller range and deployed with gusto on the Z2 scratch mixer.
#Traktor f1 serato pro#
The Kontrol Z1 has the same form-factor as the rest of the family, the Kontrol X1 and Kontrol F1.Įssentially, the range is designed to give you access to the complete feature-set of Traktor Pro 2 when using two decks and two sample decks. In a NutshellĪ very compact, two channel no-frills mixer designed especially for Native Instruments’ range of DJ software, Traktor Pro 2 for computers and Traktor DJ for iOS devices. For iOS, I had the latest version of Traktor DJ running on an iPad 2. For Traktor Pro I used Traktor Scratch Pro 2.6.2 on OS X, with an X1. I tested this unit plugged into a Xone:62 using the following setups. The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z1 is the latest offering in their “1” range, from the X1 deck controller to the F1 remix deck units and now this to sit alongside them. Their hardware and software are tailored specifically for each other, and provide a solid platform for DJs at a very reasonable price. It’s clear that NI are getting smart about their product range. I’ve watched the software and company grow all the way from Traktor DJ Studio 2 to the powerhouse it is now. I want to get something out of the way early in this review… I’ve been a long time Traktor user. Link: Traktor Kontrol Z1 - Price: $199/€189/£169 Introduction
