Chasidy Heckenbach 18.01.2012	K2 for me... and those pre-order prices seem in line with previous estimations at about 210gbp? the K2 seems to do all the X1 does and the pads from the X2 (X2 is as good as any name at this point ) could well be some cool stuff in the new NI controller ofc - too early to know. i def want at least one K2 tho - whether or not i then get the NI one later on (money willing) edit: X1 would be a bit redundant maybe with a K2? tho i wouldn't mind getting one if i saw one cheap - and i bet would work nicely next to a X2

Emanuel Kepics 17.01.2012	Look forward to reviews on K2's build and audio performance. My X1's are already showing signs of deterioration (loosening knobs, USB ports). It wouldn't be hard for A&H to set a higher build standard from the start. Already I have the impression K2 is more of a solid and versatile product, while NI is locked into X1/Maschine's cheaper build format. Add to that my personal disappointment at the 'NI customer experience' and A&H's offerings are looking very good indeed.

Cleo Basket 16.01.2012	K2 for me.... Well my point of view is that guys from ni continue their capitalist strategy.....So now to control Traktor 2/3, we need a x1 + a x2................. or a s2/4 + x2.... so in all cases of your configuration, you can buy their new controller....perfect for their profits...I believe they first believe money before us.. I'll not be a sheep this time.. With a K2 you can do both x1/x2 functions.... So if you don't already have a x1 or s4/2....the K2 is a better option ! (& even if you already have a x1....sell it !)

Horacio Stranathan 16.01.2012	Really you only need 1 X1 for the main decks. I will be getting two X2's for my sample decks, My X1 will control my main decks and I will be adding a fancy Denon DN-X1600 to the arena to control the rest including a few other midi functions. Different toys for ableton and maschine.
Lisa Lochotzki 16.01.2012	I like the 1 per deck thing x1, x2, x1, x2, Any mixer I have(Xone:92, DJM800, DJM600, S4?, K2), X1, X2, X1, X2, Maschine, APC40 My way... gearslutz
Rochel Gleese 16.01.2012	NI for me, the K2 were Definitely on my buy list until these got teased. But the controllerslut would have from left to right: X2, X1, K2, X1, X2 Traktor CNTRL, Maschine Ableton
Penni Cartier 16.01.2012	http://www.elevator.de/allen-and-heath-xone-k2.html It says "Estimated shipping date: End of january" 239 Euro 302 Dollar
Nedra Fresneda 16.01.2012	K2 for me. Btw, ain't those prices a bit on the high side considering the estimate they gave a few months back?
Cliff Lohman 16.01.2012	That link says they ship in 56 days
Rebeca Bettermann 16.01.2012	there out in europe, not in north america http://www.tonecontrol.nl/en/product...heath-xone-k2/ 249 euros 322 Canadian 319 Usd
Rebeca Bettermann 16.01.2012	yeah , i am replacing my x1s for k2s should get them beginning of feb, but the x2s are still in the unknown there isnt too much info about them. I dont know if i should pick a pair of k2s or just one , there is so many assignable functions because of the 3 layers on the k2 i don't believe you will need more then one,Im to going enjoy mapping it.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 16.01.2012	Originally Posted by polakdj the xones are out, ? No they are not out yet.
Cliff Lohman 16.01.2012	Not enough info out yet on x2 but it seems like it serves a different purpose than xone. The x2 indicates some upcoming software changes to traktor so well have to wait. Id bet that ud find different practical uses for both when time comes. X1 still seems more in line with the k2 as opposed to the x2.
Rebeca Bettermann 16.01.2012	the xones are out, just no where in north america , there starting shipping around the end of this month. Well i can the see the x2 nice with ableton also , i believe one of each would be good the k2 for all the controls and fxs(which i barely use cause of my db4 ) and the x2 for sample decks. Why don't you use the sample decks there really nice?
Romelia Stankard 16.01.2012	neither are out yet and serve different purposes- if I get anything it will be a K2 for xlink and it is way more useful since I don't use sample decks.
