Xone 1d traktor setup

If you need a really portable DJ solution and if you do not need any form of jogwheel, the Xone:K2 can be an alternative for Traktor Kontrol S2.

Thanks to the integrated four channel audio interface a laptop and one K2 would be all you need, maybe for a bar gig or if you only need two track decks and the sample decks.

Connect the two RCA outputs to the sound system of the venue and connect your headphones to the headphones socket at the front of the K2. With some clever mapping it is possible to use only two of the three available mapping layers and have even more control of the Traktor software than you would have with an S2.

If you do not like layered mappings, add a second K2 to get even more control for a 2. If you do not use timecode and if your workflow does not need the jogwheel, then two Xone:K2 can replace the S4 and allow control of either a full four track deck setup or a configuration with two track decks and two sample decks.

If you already own either a Traktor Kontrol S2 or Traktor Kontrol S4, if you feel limited by the default mapping, and if want to add another controller to your setup to get better control over the sample decks for example, the Xone:K2 is a perfect companion. If you are using any external mixer without an X:LINK port, see next section , you will need an external audio interface.

On a Mac you can use audio device aggregation to combine the soundcards of both controllers to get four stereo channels. In the case that you wish to add a DJ mixer to your setup, you can on the Mac aggregate the audio interfaces of both controllers, giving you 8 mono channels in total: sufficient to use Traktor in external mixer mode with a four channel mixer. For this configuration each Xone:K2 needs to be connected to your laptop, as X:LINK does not transport the audio from one device to another.

If you wish to use another audio interface, maybe the Traktor Audio 10 as it allows you to use timecode , two USB ports are still enough: one to connect the Traktor Audio 10, and the second one to connect two Xone:K2.

Your configuration would be as shown in the following figure: The MIDI clock data would be sent and received in Traktor via the USB connection and the X:LINK connection will be used to transport the clock between the two controllers of laptop 1 and laptop 2.

Especially only needing 1 USB to run 2 units. More controls too - perfect! Price - cheaper than NI kontrol x1 I wonder exactly how good the audio interface is that's onboard? I'll be getting 2 of these for sure. I will try to give the the audio interface a quick test then and will post my experience.

Ive few further questions regarding new xone line. What about soft takeover on the K2? Is ist also implemented by firmware like db4? I had soft takeover issues on different layers with the x1 for example. Is this possible on win pc at least with Jack Audio?

Is this possible by using xlink or do i have to use 2x USB? The K2 looks quite interesting but im missing a straight line of 4 knob Rainer G. Martino Viviani.
