Allen & Heath AH-XONE:K2 XONE:K2 Professional USB DJ MIDI Controller

Product Information

The crazy amount of dynamic range and clarity from its Xone DB brethren isn’t quite there, but there are no concerns from me about the quality of the sound. Xone:K2 integrates with the most popular DAWs so you can focus on your music without the pain of writing automation with a mouse or trackpad. This includes 52 hardware controls—including 12 analog and 6 endless rotary encoders with push switch, 4 linear faders, and 30 backlit performance switches. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE. I suppose that this is a matter of preference, but it means that you can’t grab multiple faders (you have to ‘finger’ them) and the general speed with which you can manipulate them is reduced.

Get hands-on with your favourite iOS DJ and audio software, and take control of an ever-growing number of Audio Unit apps and effects, from sequencers to reverbs, and mix and produce on-the-go.You agree to comply with all such regulations, and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to obtain all licences to export, re-export, or import the Software. The K2 comes with a black padded case that keeps the controller safe and stable when you're on the road, as well as a stand that lifts the controller's height to the same level as most professional DJ mixers.

I’ve been using the K2 for almost 6 months now, and it’s an absolute winner for my setup: laptop + k2 + club mixer.

Se il mixer ha un’interfaccia audio integrata, puoi utilizzare il mixer come scheda audio per TRAKTOR. Size wise the K2 dwarfs the X1, and the build quality is more impressive too; nutted pots add stability and durability whilst the buttons have a more responsive feel. When used alongside any X:Link compatible device it expands the MIDI data capabilities without using additional USB ports on your computer. What’s more, this alternative doesn’t have the Traktor focus as far as labelling and control layout goes, and so will be equally at home mapped to whatever software you choose.

Labelling aside, the K2 has so many advantages over the X1 that to put them in direct competition is a little fascile. The push button functionality of the encoders is a bit spongey – I’d have preferred a bit more ‘clunk’ in this area.

As I said, the F1 is more suited to direct competition with the K2, so that’s where our attention will be for our future VS piece. Leisuretec are Trade Distributors of Professional and Commercial Audio, Lighting, Video, Special Effects and Ancillary.There is an X:Link ethernet in/output for expanding upon the control capabilities as well as working to distribute power and data so you can connect to X:Link compatible units like the Xone:DB4/DB2 and Xone:43/43C mixers. Transfer to a third party: You may make a one-time permanent transfer of this EULA and the Software to another end user. The Xone:K2 can connect directly to Xone:96, Xone:23C and Xone:PX5 mixers to create the ultimate hybrid setup, combining the legendary Xone analogue sound quality with a wealth of MIDI control. However, because software like Ableton Live and Scratch Live don’t like having multiple MIDI messages mapped to the same software control, this isn’t always an option.

The K2’s small but sweet audio interface is perfect for giving pro sound out of a small setup, and I can’t really think of a use case where a master out and a headphone out isn’t enough for you; either your master out goes into a mixer/PA with more output options, or you go straight into a small speaker setup.The second mode adds in the switches under the pots, and the top four endless encoders, but leaves the pots and faders unaffected. In fact, under no circumstances will the X:LINK join or aggregate audio devices – for this to happen you still need to USB both units into your laptop. or make available to You after the date You obtain your initial copy of the Software unless a further EULA is provided with these. That is to say it won’t appear as a separate device in your software, but its MIDI mapping remains exactly the same.
