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

Product Information

We also provide example maps to get you started out the box and information on how to set up your own. Xone:K2 is a compact, slim line universal MIDI controller – incorporating a 4 channel soundcard, for use with any DJ software. Given, you can do the same with a normal fader but these specific faders on the K2 cradle your finger, avoiding them to slip. Since getting an Ableton Push, my APC40 seemed a little big and heavy - this pretty much replaces all of the functionality the the Push is missing in a nice small package.

When I use this mapping, I use the club mixer as my soundcard and use the K1s/K2s only as controllers. Due to the compact size, the very useful layout, handy soundcard and supplied carry case, it really is a great multi-purpose tool which I recommend warmly. The xone k2 controller is fully configurable, so you can MIDI map the controller entirely to suit your requirements and offers 52 controls including 12 analogue and six endless rotary encoders with a push switch alongside four linear faders and 30 backlit buttons. We’ll make a full comparison between the two in a future piece, but for now let’s look at the NI’s Kontrol X1 in comparison to the Xone K2.

I love the RJ45 input/output as well as RCA outputs, it is great for studio use with Ableton or live performance utilizing Traktor Scratch Pro or Traktor Pro 2/3. Latching Layers: A Latching Layers system lets you assign controls to multiple layers, so a single physical control can be given up to 3 functions. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Xone:K2 has 52 physical controls – including 12 analogue and 6 endless rotary encoders with push switch, 4 linear faders, and 30 backlit performance switches - providing up to 171 MIDI control commands across 3 layers. The Xone K2's chassis is made of a sturdy plastic bottom plate and a steel top plate, to which the knobs are bolted with steel nuts. I’d have preferred to have seen some sort of riser system built into the case that can be removed and allows a Xone K2 to sit right in the cut between two other pieces of equipment, or even possibly a built in kick stand system, but I’m splitting hairs a little bit here. For this DJ set I recorded a Controller view camera angle too, so you folks can see what I’m doing, or at least maybe try to figure out what I’m doing.Se il mixer ha un’interfaccia audio integrata, puoi utilizzare il mixer come scheda audio per TRAKTOR. Sync is great when you mash up your own loops and have numerous things going at once, but for 2 decks and playing the way I do, it’s not necessary. Xone:K2 is a compact, slim line universal MIDI controller - incorporating a 4 channel soundcard, for use with any DJ software.

I can honestly say it gets loud and punchy, if you’re looking at this controller, soundcard quality and sound is not an issue atm.
