DJ-Tech Kontrol One - Video review

Kontrol One is a MIDI controller from DJ-Tech production range which adapts best to various mixing software on sale. We are offering to your attention 2 videos which show Kontrol One in action.

This is a MIDI controller with touch-sensitive jogwheel, 21 buttons, 18 of which are back illuminated, one 7-Bit pitch slider, 4 rotary encoders with LED indicators marking the position of encoders, one 4-position MIDI Ch switch. All the available commands can have 2 functions, the second function being activated when Shift button is pressed.

All components are of high quality; the only shortcoming is 7-Bit pitch slider, the reason for which is, perhaps, the fact that Deckadance has some difficulties working with 14-Bit sliders (DJ-Tech and Image-Line cooperate closely). The switch for 4 Midi Ch allows to control up to 4 decks without any problems.
Kontrol One is natively supported by Deckadance and Virtual DJ, while DJ-Tech offers at its website a file .tsi for its configuration on Traktor Pro. Besides, being a standard MIDI controller, it can be configured with any other mixing software. This device can be powered either directly via a USB port of a computer or via power network.

As you can see in demonstration videos with Traktor Pro and Virtual DJ, Kontrol One proved to be an excellent controller, solid thanks to its metal body, very easy and simple in application. The buttons are precise, the touch-sensitive jogwheel is of high quality, the layout is spacious and convenient.
Kontrol One is sold as a separate controller or otherwise it makes part of hybrid consoles 101, 202 and 303.
