The NI Traktor X1 MK2 Thread
Posted on: 12.06.2013 by Jack Narva
With news of the new NI Z1 I was looking at online retailers and came across this at one of them

http://www.pssl.com/Computer-DJ/Nati...-DJ-Controller

Looks good.

I have not seen it announced anywhere so it looks like someone jumped the gun.

For only 150 more dollars!

Of course it is. They do this every time NI release a product.
From what I have read on community s some retailers will take as many pre-orders as they can with the promise that you will be first in line when they know that the orders are WAY above their quota from NI.

I dunno, are these people taking money upfront? Surely not.
Don't believe I've ever made a 'pre-order'.

I should be clear, my assumption is about Thomanns shipping arrangements.

I know for fact that the X1 will not be in shops on Monday.

I believe they mean 2-5 days between stock deliveries once released. I imagine that Thomann are a priority retailer plus they are also in Germany. That's just my assumption though.
Yes thats possible but for most parts they have been very accurate about delivery dates. and usually 2-5 day means within a week of working days so could be next monday. but not getting it right now anyway want the Z1 too so few weeks before I can justify buying them.

I've never had drop outs or issues with my x1 but it does feel loose at the back compared to the locking usb port on my Audio 10

10.07.2013		For what it's worth, they're back on the the PSSL website.

I completely agree, It was a rhetorical question that got lost in translation to the internet.

10.07.2013		My x1's cable fits waaaay loose in the USB port, but never drops connection. I've replaced the USB port on my Hercules controller because of such and it didn't even seem that loose. What ports are they using that is so different. The batch that I ordered looked identical to the one I took out of the Hercules. Where are they getting their parts from, and how are they any different?

Just interested in your experience of the X1 port. Genuinely interested mate.
It is a fairly loose fit with my usb cables.

09.07.2013		Damn that looks so nice. Interested in seeing the touch strip in use, wonder how nice it will work.

09.07.2013		I don't believe those websites breached anything considering the X1 MK2 showed up on Native Instrument's website earlier this morning. That may be why they assumed it was ok to announce it. There was a whole gallery NI had posted up, but it seems to have been since taken down. I'm not sure why NI would post it up then backtrack like that. I snapped screen shots of em here
