SolDios Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hey guys, you know the two knobs on the kontrol x1 that let you chose what track without touching your lappywell, does anyone know of a cheap controller that would be good to map it too?

Mitch Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It's not clear what your trying to ask, are you asking for an alternative to the x1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolDios Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pretty much, All I need is two knobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pretty much, All I need is two knobsIf only that was in off topic.... lolAnyway. Just have a look in the midi section of storedj and djwarehouse websites to see if there is anything.Found this - https://www.storedj.com.au/products/NOV-NOVNOCYou'd have to create custom mapping for it. X1 is probably still alot better than this for what you want.. Why not save your $$ and get an x1, or even wait around and try pick up a used one?IMO if all your using for is track selection I can't see an issue of using trackpad and keyboard to do so. It's not illegal to touch the laptop lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobberz Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Seriously man X1's are cheap, buy one and use all of the features it has to offer. You could buy one for around $100-$150 second hand and plug and play and have a heap more features.Pretty sure you wont find another controller around that price, plus after you buy it you have to mess around with your own mapping and all you get is 2x Scrolling knobs. Whats the point buying cheap and nasty gear, save for a few more weeks and buy something decent instead of wasting your money. Trust me, you will save more in the long run and have gear that is reliable and works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 ^This just reiterated my points exactly. Thankyou Hobberz There is nothing wrong with just using keyboard+mouse until you save a bit more, then buy good gear once and then it lasts. Much cheaper in long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 yeah since you have traktor, buy the X1!!I can't recommend it highly enough. No mapping required, just plug the thing in and you're ready to rock and roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
