yea I did some searches as well, there doesn't even seemed to be a name for it that I can search with. While I'm at this, just wanted to ask if anyone can suggest any XLR connector mics that can be stood up without a mic stand, reasonable price? I'll be using it to record acoustic piano (just for fun).

Hi guys, I've recently acquired a Focusrite iTrack Solo audio interface second hand (actually it was a gift), and just wanted to have it connect up to my ipad mini. But the unit didn't include the supposedly included Device link cable. I was wondering where I can get one of these cables aftermarket or just anywhere to be honest? Cheers,

OK just reporting back now, I have the set a run lastnight, all seems to be fine with no freezes. Will keep an eye out for it in future runs.

Still no replies from anywhere, but just a little something I came across. I found out my Z1's firmware was 2 releases behind. Since I am at work, I've updated my firmware to the most current for the Z1, somehow not able to do it for the X1 (it couldn't get recognised... really strange this one...), but also not able to test it. Will report back if any communications are heard from NI or that I have a tested outcome for this solution.

Yea guess it's not a common issue cos there isn't much useful on google unfortunately

I can try it on another machine yes, regarding USB I've tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0, made no difference. I've submitted a ticket to NI, still awaiting replies.

it seems to say that it's all up to date .

usually Kontrol Z1, but when it stops working, all traktor audio cease to play, and the "audio" icon has a red line through it. However when I try to still control with the X1, all the buttons etc still works, but the Z1 interface is frozen, ie. the meter lights are frozen in place etc.

x1 mk2 .

actually the sound card seems to be ok when I play normal music without traktor through the soundcard, it sounded fine, only using traktor the midi freezes up... .

Hi guys, I've just gotten a Kontrol Z1 to be used with the X1 MK2 and F1. However I find the Z1 constantly freezes traktor; ie. the interface still works but no sound, assuming soundcard is gone. To fix it I need to disconnect the Z1 and reconnect it and it goes good again. But that doesn't last for long before it freezes again. And google doesn't tell me much... Has anyone had this issue and has a fix for it? Cheers .

Nevermind, all acquired

Hi guys, I'm after a used, aftermarket protector for my Kontrol Z1, something like the UDG U8410BL or alike will be suitable. I'm after cost effectiveness so even the case or protector is a bit beat up, for a lower price I'm OK with it. Cheers.

All acquired now thanks.

Z1 acquired, only X1 MK2 now if anyone has any?

Hi, I'm keen to get a Traktor X1 MK2 and/or Z1 to add to my modular setup. So I'm looking for a near-new, used unit for $170 or less posted (or pick up if it's around Brissie) depending on the remaining warranty. Please let me know. Cheers

I just want to add my experience here. Do you want to learn piano because you want to perform on it or just for music making? I come from a performer background, to me, the sound of the piano comes directly from your fingertips. And if everything had been "processed", ie. let the computer do all the work, it's very different from acoustic. Now the closest thing from acoustic is weighted keys. Some has a bit more of a plastic feel to them, some are not too bad, but don't expect to play anything fancy on them, some can handle bit more of a bash, but with time they will age, the actions will lose its touch and the playing experience will be very different. I used to have a 64-key midi keyboard setup, no weighted key but more a performance midi keyboard unit. Never took it to performance once, but it was setup at home with a home-studio making music and rearranging some stuff (that was back in highschool days when I had too much time on my hands to pursue every hobby I can imagine and afford). It did the job great! But I can't play it like I do with a real or weighted-keyboard piano. Just something for you to think about, not sure if my comment was of any useful to you.

Yea I was going to say do a search on gumtree for "traktor" and you'll find heaps, as cheap as in the 400s for MK1. But may have to pay a bit more for the MK2.

Just a bit of heads up mate, you can get a brand new S4 MK2 for the same price you are asking for a used MK1 + flight case (assume its around $150 from ebay), here's a link for reference: http://www.djcity.com.au/traktor-kontro ... er-special

Yea much of a risk really... No worries, need to spend 400 bux on a medical scan this week, so probably should be saving up for that...

lol, didn't pull it off at last... He couldn't bother posting it and said rather keep it to local sales lol, oops

OK just a little update for this. I detected some problems on the TP2 slider widget, and they rigged the controller up to the store's TP2 and serato DJ, found even more problems. Since the device was already registered, I am now waiting for them to take it back to Numark and repair it, so it'll take 2-4 weeks before I can get it back. StoreDJ is quite good in that they lend me their demo controller so I have one to use in the meantime.

Yea I'm taking it. Apparently he got it from ebay, so he has the ebay receipt... :S I hope it was genuine so I can take it back to NI if anything happens in the remaining 6 months. All I now need is the other part, the Z1

lol i can be super cautious with these things. So even no receipt we still take it? Without a receipt, is there any way I can claim warranty?
