If youre DJing with Traktor, then we dont have to tell you how powerful of a tool it is to introduce unbridled musicality, performance features, FX, and more to immensely elevate your DJ set. This is why Native Instruments has crafted a long-awaited redux for their turntable-less controller: the X1 Mk3. This DJ controller module has been tailored for use with Traktor Pro DJ software, ensuring deep integration with the full suite of Traktors menagerie of musical manipulation tools. DJs appreciate the quality-of-life improvements introduced with the X1 Mk3, including extensive color-coding options, tactile surface markers, and an expanded connectivity suite to seamlessly slot in with turntable controllers, custom arrays, and even daisy-chained additional X1s. And did we mention that Traktor Pro DJ software is included with the X1? Newcomers and veterans alike will get the unbridled Traktor treatment right out of the box. While the X1 is a fantastic supplement to turntable-based arrangements, dont
misunderstand: the Traktor X1 Mk3 is a bona fide controller that can command your entire set by itself!
The Traktor X1 Mk3 introduces an intuitive light guide to aid your performances, freeing up bandwidth to lock into the moment with far less need to watch the screen of your laptop. Five vivid OLED screens display essential information across multiple groups of parameters, including track titles, track duration, progress bar, deck assignment, effects, and more. Onboard backlighting isnt just for show, either. Lighting modes are customizable, allowing you to select colors to coordinate with performance features, decks, FX, and toolsets for uninhibited use and straightforward identification. Whats more, a dedicated light-based highlighting system provides instant indication that a track is either reaching its end or in a loop, giving you ample bandwidth to manage transitions or performance flourishes without taking your eyes off your X1.
