The Kontrol Z1 starts as a platform for other Traktor devices, which in turn expand its functionality and capabilities.

#TRAKTOR Z1 MIXING PRO#

Usage is practically instant with Traktor Pro 2, and you essentially can start mixing with a high-quality sound and good control right after you connect two devices. The user, in return, gets clear, instant visual feedback.Īlong with these features, the Kontrol Z1 comes with a built-in 24-bit soundcard, and with the audio interface, creates a club-level quality.īeyond the basic features, Kontrol Z1 integrates well with other standard Traktor and Apple devices. Faders operate on both decks and include a crossfader, making mixing straightforward. The Fader section offers standard features for this type of DJing device, but with smooth functionality all around. With all features together, the DJ is able to observe and mix tracks that sound professional. The volume feature lets the user adjust the headphones cue volume. A and B buttons allow the DJ to select the channels he wants to cue, while the Mix knob lets the user adjust the ratio between the cue signal and master output in the headphones. When used with the Traktor Pro 2, it similarly allows the DJ to move between low- and high-resonance features. When pressed down and held, it allows the user to independently move the decks between filter and one-knob FX controls.

Dedicated gain controls and large filter knobs for two channels give the DJ full control, while the Mode button increases functionality. The 3-band EQ, even with the compact design, still has the DJ in mind. On a basic level, the Kontrol Z1 offers 3-band EQ, Cue, and Fader sections.

But while being ultra-portable and versatile (you’ll read more about this in a moment) are two standout aspects, the Kontrol Z1 maintains the quality we’ve come to expect from Traktor and the Native Instruments brand. In becoming something practically any DJ will need in the near future, the Kontrol Z1 offers a mixing interface with two mixers, a controller, and soundcard that supports Traktor DJ and Traktor Pro 2. I store the XML file and the common-controller-scripts.With DJing equipment, smaller seems to be the trend, but should having a highly-portable piece of gear come at the expense of quality?Īlthough this may be the case with certain products, the Traktor Kontrol Z1 manages to do both. **EDITED to add: A person would still want to reference the “common” controller js file that is already referenced in the XML file. Still, I did not have to write a custom *.js file for this to work, FYI.

#TRAKTOR Z1 MIXING INSTALL#

I don’t know why I needed the Controller Editor software to get things working–does it install a dependency that helps Mixxx map functions? I dunno, but wanted to report back on here for anyone in the same predicament.

#TRAKTOR Z1 MIXING DRIVER#

This is in addition to installing the appropriate Traktor Z1 Driver software, also on that page. I didn’t actually create any new mapping document or anything, just opened the app and clicked around. Or just replace the forum tag with this: Īlso, I could not get my Traktor Z1 to work with my new machine until I installed and ran the Native Instruments “Controller Editor” software (located here: '). XML *.midi file attached, & main body of XML posted below.Ĭdata statement for problem ampersand in controller xml.png 1920×1414 242 KB If this document is out of compliance with generally accepted mapping practices, please address how it should be improved in forum comments here. The Main Gain, Cue Gain, & Cue Balance knobs did not respond to Midi mapping. The lighted 'on' button under the knob is not mapped to anything. The Filter knobs have been mapped to the 'Super Knob' filter effects on each deck. This xml document maps the basic functions of a Traktor Z1 2-channel mixer to Mixxx, Midi-style Not HID-style.
