XONE K1 DJ MIDI Controller/52

K1 is a fully customisable DJ MIDI controller that allows you to take control of your favourite music production or DJ software.  Set up is easy and in no time you will have access to level controls, triggering hot cues, adding FX and instant looping, giving you the freedom to focus on the music, not your laptop screen.

The Xone:K1 has 52 assignable controls and can be mapped to Traktor Pro, Ableton, Virtual DJ, MixVibes to name just a few.  Controls include 6 endless rotary encoders with push switch, 12 analogue pots, 4 linear faders, and 30 backlit performance switches with three-colour illumination.

The Xone:K1 is USB powered, and it can be daisy-chained with additional :K1s and Xone:K2s via X:LINK meaning no need for a separate USB hub.  X:Link also allows you to expand your setup by allowing you to link up directly to Xone:23C, Xone:DB2and Xone:DB4 mixers.

• MIDI Control

Xone:K1 is a universal controller and can be used with any  DJ software , including Traktor Pro, Ableton, Virtual DJ, MixVibes and Mixx. Xone:K1 can even be used to control lights or VJ software - if it can receive MIDI data it can take commands from K1. What each control does is entirely up to you - you can create a completely customised layout that perfectly fits the way you want to work. We also provide example maps to get you started, plus step-by-step information on how to set up your own.

• X:Link

Two or more Xone:K1 and / or Xone:K2 controllers can be linked via our X:LINK protocol, expanding the control capability. X:LINK uses a standard RJ45 connector and distributes power and data, allowing connection to X:LINK compatible devices, including Xone:DB4 and DB2, to expand MIDI data without using additional USB ports.

• Build Quality

Xone:K1 is both lightweight and hard-wearing, with a steel front panel and employing Allen & Heath's nutted pot construction.
