Feb 12, 2018 A&H Xone:K1 MIDI Controller Announced Video. There are mappings already available for Traktor Pro including Remix Decks as well as mappings for other popular DJ software like Mixvibes. The regular xone:23 has no link or USB, but with the K1 and USB, software like Mixvibes Cross can deliver a powerful package for a reasonable amount of money. Out of the box, there’s a lot of support for key software, including Traktor Remix Decks, something that wasn’t possible when we pitted the Kontrol F1 against the K2 a couple of years.

Xone:23c Serato
I’ve read good things about MixVibes Cross DJ (this review* is very compelling; beatgridding across a wide range of styles in particular) which is included with the FirstMix Pro. As I understand it the LE version that comes with this is the same as the full version, only it’s married to the FM Pro. However, the jog wheels aren’t dual control which is kind of a big deal.
The free upgrade to Serato DJ with the combo purchase of the Mixtrack Pro v1 and the Akai LPD8 seems a great deal and the Jog wheels are Dual control.
The U-Mix Control v1 comes with the full version of Cross DJ, tightly integrated according to the review, and has dual control jog wheels.
Bottom line is I want the most versatile software and whatever entry level controller that suits it best.
Just like everyone else, I guess. 🙂

I use Cross (the full DVS version, but that is only relevant if you plan on using timecode). It’s great software, I love the workflow. I am mainly a mobile DJ, so beatgridding flexibly is an absolute plus!
Other nice innovations are key matching (works like a charm) and the way they implemented sync appeals to me too.
The software is (relatively) cheap. About 45 for Cross DJ and they claim the largest supported controller list in the business. That means you can uncouple the choice for controller and software. If you get Cross DJ (there might even be an update from your current LE version, I don’t know), you can then pick just about any controller you like (I am using Denon MC-6000, Denon SC-2900s and Denon X1600 mixer). The midi mapping works great too. No need to become a midi guru, just select function, move knob or fader and set a few extras if needed and presto!
So, Cross would have my vote. As for an entry level controller, that’s mostly a personal taste. Lots of opinions on here and reviews in the controller guide and over on the blog.

Terry_42 should be able to comment on that. One thing that would bother me, is that you need Serato suited hardware now. If you want to switch to better controller, your choice are limited to Serato suited controllers again.
the lure of the “open” platform Cross delivers appeals to me.

Well I use both Cross and Serato on my TM4.
Now Cross does work very well and has a different approach on many fronts, some refreshingly new and some quite awesome (key detection with camelot scale…).
However I have still a few minor gripes with Cross. The software is much more complicated layed out than Serato (prolly nothing for a Traktor user) but it could be simpler. There are some minor hickups that I run into ever so often.
Why I still prefer Serato?
Well since version 1.5 they eliminated every single issue I had with it. The slicer now works perfectly, the effects have bigger ranges (and more effects packs), the quality of the iZotope effects is unparalleled in any software I heard, the elastic beatgrid is working perfectly now and still Serato is simple to setup and use. It is just so natural for me to use, I do not even have to think it matches my controller perfectly (TM4) and even performing with unprepared tracks when you have to switch quickly etc.
The downside like Chuck says might be that you need certified hardware, but I see that as a plus. The integration between Serato and the TM4 and other controllers (I tested the Twitch, DDJ-SX and Mixtrack) is just excellent. I just love it.
I know the link is still active there but can anyone verify that the MTP1 + LPD8 upgrade deal still actually works? Has anyone done it recently? Â Want to make sure before I take the plunge because I don’t think I’d be picking up the LPD8 just now otherwise.
