To clarify for those that care, the crossfader is fixed to the motherboard, so no Pro X Fade or Innofader transplants for the Kontrol Z1 I’m afraid. Making a casual mixer based observation, the crossfader is smoother than the line faders, which is a good thing. If ever there was a product to trigger OCD cleaning frenzies, it’s the Z1.įeel wise, it’s just like the others in the range. Personally I prefer the brushed metal of the F1 and X1, but this seems to be NI’s new finger print magnet ID for the future. The big visual difference is that the faceplate is now shiny clear plastic to match its bigger Z2 stable mate, but thankfully has the markings underneath the faceplate. It’s another small format device that looks and feels much the same as its Kontrol X1 and Kontrol F1 siblings. It’s an incredibly simple device that like Cuprinol, does exactly what it says on the tin. Given what I’ve done with the Z1 today, the final review isn’t likely to be much longer than this quick piece. The Traktor Kontrol Z1 sandwiched between the X1 and F1. A few pictures is a much better way to get to what you really want to see in my book. I can’t watch them myself, and certainly can’t imagine a format for such a thing that I’d be happy filming, or that is interesting. Sorry people, but that’s not my bag at all. So here it is, as well as a large dollop of first impressions as well.īefore I start, I got a few requests for an unboxing video. So I asked the DJWORX masses via the usual social media channels if said unboxing was needed, and back came a resounding yes. And when new and highly desirable shiny comes into my world, the first thing I think is UNBOX. NI’s Traktor Kontrol Z1 “DJ mixing interface” (that’s what the box says) is finally making it out into the wild.
