kontrol x1 or...

[LmnLm3]

So I just got a launchpad and a nanoKontrol, doing traktor 2 mostly hotcues, some fx.

Paid about 150 total for both (new, i.e. returnable)

Would I rather have an x1? I know LP has more buttons, but btwn the LP and the nano I have more buttons than I know what to do with.

What would be *your* ideal minimalist setup for doing anything outside the bedroom? It would be nice to never have to touch the computer during a set... so browsing and deck loading would be nice.

Price is a real factor, and I dislike jogs (though Ean's new DM vid on the S2 was a bit fun!)

Thanks!

Personally, i like the Kontrol X1 better

X1 is GodTier

X1 is the Master Race

The X1 was tailored for Traktor, whereas the Launchpad was made for Ableton. Epicly minimalist setup would be Kontrol X1 + Xone:2D for me, although haven't had a hand on either of those controllers.

my own mini setup is to just use my idj. my next best fav minimal setup is probably a launchpad and djm101 for traktor. both those 2 setups cost me exactly 100quid each. a launchpad and x1 would be awesome but i'd miss not having actual faders and def miss not having a cross fader. tho using nothing other than a single ldp8 is also a lot of fun with some creative multi layers.

X1 for me.

X1 for me.

if i hadn't already bought tp2 i probably would have gone for the x1+tp2 deal just to see what the x1 is like. it does look very cool i must admit.

Sell the TP2 you already bought.

Sell the TP2 you already bought.

true and must admit i have been thinking about that, or selling the license that comes with the X1 if thats possible. i took the el cheapo route with my current license buying a 2nd hand traktor3 license and then upgrading it to tp2, but i guess there's no reason why i couldn't xfer the traktor3 and the tp2 upgrade to someone else. got all of september for that offer anyway it think...

Maybe wait and see if and what the X2 like?
If not go for the X1 with TP2
