![]() The sample deck mapping works pretty well, though, and upon first glancing at the K2 I noticed its similarity in appearance to the Traktor Kontrol F1. The Kontrol X1 is highly specialized and has entirely different sets of controls than the K2 (there are no faders on the Kontrol X1!). As an X1 emulator, the K2 is mildly disappointing, but I honestly wouldn’t expect otherwise. Two Traktor maps are included with the driver package: one is designed to utilize the K2 as a sample launcher, and the other is designed to emulate the functions of Native Instrument’s very own Traktor Kontrol X1. While designed, at least primarily, with Traktor software capabilities in mind, the Xone:K2 can be fully and competently mapped to any MIDI-controlled software. With a 16-bit, 4-channel sound card built in, the K2 comes close to being a compact, all-in-one DJ workstation, but lacks some key features such as jog wheels and easy split audio controls, requiring extra gear or inconvenient workarounds for complete standalone functionality. The Xone:K2, a bite-sized DJ controller from the UK courtesy of Allen & Heath, is an exciting new array of MIDI controls allowing for enhanced command of your favorite DJ and performance software. ![]()
