NI Z1 & NI X1 Mk2 or Midi Fighter?
NI Z1 & NI X1 Mk2 or Midi Fighter? Posted on: 22.07.2013 by Delaine Tormoehlen HelloI used to dj using 1210s and a DJM 500 mixer, I then took after break 10 years as got bored of it all.Last weekend I bought the Z1 Mixer and loved it, playing the tunes on the iPad was great fun. But then the true fun started, I bought Traktor Pro and now want to control the effects and trigger samples in a creative way. So do I buy the X1 MK2 in a few weeks? or do I grab a Midi Fighter? Im unsure on what are the benefits and drawbacks of each. | |

| Robert Danno 23.07.2013 | I have a midifighter now and ordered the x1 mk2 to replace it. I find more reasons to run the remix decks than I do to run effects (even the awesome instant grat mapping) |
| Wilson Durrum 23.07.2013 | I would go for the X1 as well. I bought 2 midifighters in the past, barely used them and sold them. I do use my X1 all the time, it has a lot more functionality for me. I am not into all the cue point jugging (unless it is on my 1200s) or effects. Most people on a dance floor don't want to hear that anyways. |
| Dedra Kreinbring 23.07.2013 | I would personally go for the X1 Mk2. If you are finger drumming, then the Midi Fighter will be better, but other than that, the x1 has more controls and is also very intuitive. I believe unless you can believe of a particular reason (other than it looks sexy) then the midifighter probably isn't the choice for you. |
