Traktor Kontrol Komparison

With the announcement the Kontrol X1 Mk2 we figured it was time to take a look at the different features available in the Kontrol units. If you want a complete, versatile and portable DJ setup then Traktor is the way to go. With the recent introduction of the Z1 as well you can keep things really minimal, for any smaller or more straightforward gigs.
