Xone K2

New Controller from Xone

http://www.djtechtools.com/2011/10/05/e ... h-xone-k2/

Seems like a very decent controller, should rival the X1. Love that it has faders (one of the main things holding the X1 back imo), and a 2 channel soundcard.

no way man!!! i post a topic 3 minutes after you!
I did a search, didnt find anything and returned to open one! After a refresh to my browser your topic was already there!!! wtf

our minds communicate!!

So!!
Im looking very very forward for this device
less hight than 1D and more logical layered especially for DJ/SemiLive use.

What i really dont like is the included audio interface...
or to say it better .. id love a version without the interface.

2 of those and a launchpad = win!

It's actually got a four channel sound card (i.e. two stereo channels).

One on RCA at the back, and one on mini jack at the front.

I do like it, but it's a shame that it's not as well endowed as the 2D for sound.

Bearing in mind that the DB4 and DB2 have fewer analogue inputs than the older Xones, it would've been nice to be able to expand on the inputs by adding the K2s. Unfortunately they only have outputs.

Maybe one day they'll make a digital version of the 464.....

Yeah your absolutely right, 4 channel it is. I love that you can link 2 together as well.

This looks like a great little Live controller, where as the X1, even with proper mappings, is still a traktor oriented controller. Probably going to pick one of these up. Faders ftw.

This looks really great. I wouldn't use the soundcard, but it might be useful as a backup. The price of the unit (including bag!) is said to be no higher than of the NI X1 alone, so even if I'd prefer a version without soundcard it's allright.
