Published on 04/06/12 at 10:52I use it for one month and this is my first controller, who had CDJ1000 I was a little apprehensive about the quality of this material in terms of finishes and reaction (I had not seen until now that controllers Beringher and Hercules with friends turning with Virtual DJ and it was not really broke).
But having made me a friend tried the Kontrol X1 I could see the strength and the response time and mix on traktor I was amazed, so I therefore made the plunge.
What is really significant at first glance is the price, € 499 for a table with 2 votes 4 effects simultaneously insertable, a controller loops on the fly and a sound card in all its footprint size, I BANCO said!
Where my old set of pionneer + mixer + box asks you to effect a safe not too small for a trip taken + the fact of having to type the connection, the Kontrol S2 will tune nicely in a corner of the car and will plug in 2 seconds via USB on your laptop. It's nice, no need to empty the car buddies!
The sound quality is really ideal, the map is really great job and transcribed really well, it's feeding even at high volume and saturate with sounds.
In the controls, ba nothing to say, everything is at hand, the effects are selected on the screen with the mouse and manipulate the knob on the front of the controller.
The jogs are really good, coming from the cdj 1000 I had an understanding when to hit well and they are great, the smaller sizes is not a problem and it is reactive.
The ability to create loops to automatically take over the beat is really great and opens up significant opportunities in two clicks.
The ability to calibrate its track pitch to delight aficionados of old vinyl, the ability to auto-sync in the past is significant and also allows all comers to be able to play easily and old to concentrate on his game rather has work his pitch.
After what he should not be forgotten is that this is a controller so it implies that you need a pc / mac to be able to work the beast, so to consider before purchasing because the beast is apparently capricious with computers to saturate the memory and it does not cost anything if you do not. Personally I ordered a macbook pro in 2012 which serves to make me turn to pull the S2 and it does it very well without breaking its default or other trouble.
Then it's on, it's less class than the big flashy stuff from home but his pionneer filled his job the same way seeing more simply, so as the other would say "there's not to twist your ass" I this choice would do without hesitation.
