I *love* this controller. i have had mine since they first came out, used with Traktor DJ on ipad/ iphone and with Ableton live. It has held up to much abuse and is the perfect controller for me for djing and live sets...
However:
apparently the newer version is *NOT* class compliant with iOS, and cannot be used with Native instrument's own Traktor DJ iOS software. This unit is USB bus powered *only* and does not come with the power supply wall wart. It doesn't even have a power input jack.
The amazon website said it was class compliant, for use with traktor DJ on iOS, and that it comes with a power supply. Get this: the instruction booklet that came with the unit has instrustions for use with iOs, proclaims it's class compliance, and refers multiple times to the "included" power supply.
So yeah... Lame...
Software: Traktor DJ (iOS App) 1.2.1.148
Build Notes:
+ The knobs are all rubberized. They're soft to the touch.
+ The Line faders have a very nice glide to them. They're not completely loose and offer a bit of resistance.
+ The crossfader is very loose. I can flick it from one side to the other with a finger.
+ The buttons make a "click" noise and have the texture of an Akai MPC pad.
- The deck plate matches an iPad's bezel, but is very prone to smudging and surface scratches. Do NOT wipe this with a dry cloth.
Contents:
+ AC adapter (with many different plug adapters)
+ Thick guage USB cable (for computer connections)
+ Thick guage USB to 30pin Apple cable (for iOS device connections)
+ Paperwork: card with software and hardware serial numbers
+ Paperwork: instructions
+ A sheet of Native Instrument stickers (for cases, laptops, etc)
- There's NOTHING in the box for newer Apple device connectivity (Lightning port). You'll need the Apple 30pin to Lighting adapter to make this work.
Other notes:
+ Fully compatible with the Traktor Gig Bag. 0 issues. The Z1 fits inside of it perfectly.
Final thoughts:
The iPad app is magnificent, but a fingertip isn't great for sliders. The Traktor Z1 gives the user more precision over controls (levels, gains, highs, mids, lows, fx) that require finesse.
The form factor is amazing. The app is powerful. This setup is perfect for dj's who don't feel like dragging around equipment for small parties, backyard bbq's, or tailgating.
I think many mobile dj is an excellent choice.
so...
If you want a computer with sound card and midi controls on a single controller. This is definitely not what you want.
You have to keep looking and of course the more sophisticated the more you have to pay money.
It's NOT compatible with other iPad DJ/Midi apps, so you can't remap any of the buttons for DJ Player app, for example, but this was not a surprise as NI clearly states that incompatibility on the product page.
Dont get me wrong, it's great to have a tactile crossfader, eq, VU meter, filter/fx and of course a sound card right on this controller, so it's still a good purchase, just a tiny bit crippled for my use. That being said, I'm sure it's well worth the purchase for PC/Laptop DJs that use Traktor Pro or other Midi-compatible DJ apps, especially if you have another controller like an X1 or other controller with jog/transport functions.
My last two cents; there is obviously an iPad driver for this device, and it can be used in Midi mode on a computer, so I'm sure there is probably a way this controller can be hacked to work with other iPad DJ/Midi apps, but until then, 3 stars!
