Getting my z2 setup right...
Getting my z2 setup right... Posted on: 17.03.2013 by Len Lukawski Chaps,The SmiTTTen family noise table has been packed up for a good while as we get ready to move to Columbus (anyone in Columbus?). When I set it back up I'll finally get the chance to break out my shiny z2. I have a pair if 12s, a Kontrol F1, Xone K2 and other sundry items and want to figure out the best setup. The z2 is a little limited in terms of transport controls (as it should be) so.... Do I get a 2nd f1 and have them both do double duty as remix deck controls and transport controls using the x1 layout? Has anyone got this kind if setup and what's it like to switch between the 2 layouts? If I'm going to buy another piece of kit it has to be an f1 rather than an x1 as I want to play with 8 channels on the remix decks. Open to other suggestions to A | |

| Latoria Kavulich 18.03.2013 | I don't see the point in 2 F1's personally. I would go for the Z2 with an F1, and either a X1 Or K2 for transport control. |

| Judi Sissel 17.03.2013 | Ask and you shall receive sir. Not sure its what you're looking for, but it will at least serve as a place to start. Personally I find it as a good replacement for the 2-X1 combo. I'll primarily use 3 decks and only 4 remix slots (as a glorified loop recorder). I actually find myself using the 3 decks more then incorporating the remix decks. That doesn't say that you wont though. Hope this helps. I made some changes since laying out on the image, but they are minor changes. Also this was done over the 'user' layer to retain HID control over the colors. Hotcues flow in the X1 order as opposed to what is in the drawing |
| Ervin Calvery 17.03.2013 | Not really - I've been using timecode and couple of jump buttons mapped to the Z2. |
| Len Lukawski 17.03.2013 | Are you using the f1s for transport controls too? |
| Ervin Calvery 17.03.2013 | Yo - I use a Z2 with two F1s. For me, the primary reason to use Traktor is scratch control over clips (something not easily done in Ableton), so control of up to 4 remix decks simultaneously from the Z2, over two of which I have full control with F1s. |
