Is there a way to move loops around ? I know theres no move button like on the S4 but it’s a must have feature imo. Can it be done with the shift button ? Cheers

@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert

Yes there is. You need the loop encoder on beatjump loop. Then activate loop and then hold shift and turn rotary and it will move said loop 😀

I hated the new rotaries so much that it lasted 26 hours before returning. The center nudge prevented me from turning in an effect without a dead zone. And no touchstrip to use anymore. That center nudge is a design error IMHO. Most effects go from 0 to full not from -50 to + 50. Today I drove around 250 miles and obtained an S8. It also has nudged pots in the effect combo's. But these are not nearly as pronounced as the Z1 mk3. All in all an impressive ma(s)chine.

Thanks for making this I was looking forward to your take on it Dave

Great review as always! Thanks Dave!

Awsome as always dude 👌

Fantastic review! It's very comprehensive and brings me closer to making a purchase. I wonder if NI intentionally left out an audio interface to encourage buying the Z1 alongside the X1. I'm planning a mobile setup, currently using an S2 + 2 F1s. For gigs where I need to fly, I'm considering replacing the S2 with the X1 and Z1 to reduce luggage and using only 1 F1 where needed.

Thanks man. Just bought a pair of these for my Xone 96.

I hope they remake the F1 in a similar form factor when the come out with real time stem separation! I was also just watching a Serato vid and the guy was doing "Tone Drumming" or the controller pads were each set at a different semitone. That would be a cool feature on this or a new F1 as well!

Thank you for the review. I learned to use the F1 (and others) from your earlier tutorials.

Thank You! Very useful video... Love It!!!

great job DAVE

Amazing detail, thank you. I received mine today. The unit is so solid and offers so much. What would you do about headphone monitoring? I've ordered a Z1 as I can't seem to get good monitoring in mixer mode but that's just me.

@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert

Yeah it’s great. The Z1 is a great way to go for the form factor, sound card and headphone monitoring. :-)

I really like your videos!! ❤️ 19:59 -> Gridlock/Beatgrid . Do you have any video touching that (delicate) subject? I'm pretty new to all this. It seems it's not wise to delete this Beatgrid Hotcue 😅 I figured out you can click it whilst in Preparation Layout, then set Hotcue 2 on the same spot, then click Map and move Hotcue 2 to Hotcue 1. Beatgrid remains, but the Hotcue button turns Blue (Cue), Yellow (Loadmarker) or Green (Loop) so no more weird white Cue-point that I find weirdly white.. My tip for other viewers: Buy a second hand Hercules Starlight and Midi-map that for Track Preparation. It has an amazing amount of configurable buttons and knobs in a mini-format! So you can map it to have all 8 Hotcues, Loop + Move Loop, Beatjump, Set Beatgrid, Tap Beat to correct BPM quickly etcetera etcetera. Maybe @D.A.V.E you already made a video on it? 🙂

Thank you for the review, I know I'm late to the party but just upgraded from the Mk1. Question if you have time... what's the difference between Absolute mode and Relative Mode weird I know

@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert

2 ай бұрын

Not a weird question at all. Absolute mode is the one I use. What shows on the external mixer is what is on the software. So like for like. Relative mode has a sensitivity on it so it can move more of less than the physical movement of the fader.

thx, very nice review.

What would be your personal recommendations for additional hardware setup for playing remix deck in 3/4 and tracks in 4/4 in addition to 2 deck ddj 400controller? I know you were a huge fan of F1. I consider K2 or X1 or F1 with something. I even consider Behringer CMD series :)

Ай бұрын

@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert thanks! Do you think it makes sense to have K2 and F1 or K2 alone is enough? I purchased used F1 to compare it with TouchOSC latest Traktor mapping. If it doesn’t add much perhaps I will keep TouchOSC for remix and stems. As for additional effect controls and 2 decks mixer would you choose X1 mk3 or K2? It would be great to have you reviewed latest TouchOSC official mappings for Traktor btw.

@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert

Whichever you prefer tbh. I think the new x1 mk3 is awesome and obviously great for traktor but it all depends on you and your setup. I used to use touchOSC but it was a bit laggy back in the day. I’ll need to check it out again. Do you have a link to the mapping? I used to just make mine up.

@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert I ended up with a S4 in the end. Happy with my choice. I think I will use F1 and Behringer Xtouch Mini + win tablet as a portable set. BTW what is your latest course on Traktor? Is it on ADSR or you have others?

Could this be used for beginners? For some reason I find these ‘analog controllers’ a bit more interesting to use than a typical dj controller.. plus it’s easier to transport

Touch strips not cool anymore? Tiny displays instead? They keep making toys I guess..

Too bad traktor software is years behind the competition. And the engineers refuse to listen to the end user features request! Why don't you make a video on the state of traktor software. it's so bad, they still haven't fixed the browser flickering bug that's been there for over 10 years now. Still no real time stem separation. Still no tidal integration. Still no flexible beatgrids etc! I hope you make that video
