As the above image shows, there’s a USB two port hub for chaining, USB connector, a power connector and an on/off switch. As an F1/X1 style controller, it doesn’t make a huge amount of sense to include one, because this just controls elements of Traktor but isn’t a mixer like say the Z1. USB chaining - the Kontrol D2 doesn’t have an audio interface. Sorry people - no audio interface, but there is a hub. Thus I see four deck control from one D2, but I expect that most users will but a pair. And a mixture of guesswork and arm-twisting allows me to deliver what I think we’re seeing here.Ī big controller - the D2 is about 2″ wider and 3″ deeper than a conventional X1/F1 format, hence the D2 name.Īlmost identical to one third of an S8 - The only noticeable difference is four A, B, C, and D buttons above the FX select one. We got some official pictures of the evening, and of course skipped past the pictures of beautiful people having a good time, and zoomed in and enhanced forensically on the images of the gear. But it’s how you make this work with a mixer that is of most interest for me. As a unit, it’s an absolute no-brainer for NI to take a saw to the S8 and hack off the controller element. The best description I can provide is that it’s one third of a Kontrol S8, the right hand third to be more precise. Uner posted a picture of his setup on his Facebook page, and we’ve just taken delivery of proper pictures from the show that gives a little more detail about the new Traktor Kontrol D2. We gave you the heads up about the possibility of something new and Traktory coming from NI at the Winter Music Conference, and they didn’t disappoint.
