I was a little surprised not to see any Serato love, and I double checked to make sure I hadn’t missed a configuration utility akin to the controller editors frequently seen bundled with other developers’ products, but keeping the MIDI assignments on the unit’s physical controls is probably a good idea to keep the layering the K2 is capable of manageable.

Within 10 minutes I had basic control over two decks, including pitch, and all EQs and channel faders mapped too.

Where you are a Consumer and there is any conflict between the terms of this clause 10 and the Consumer Terms of Sale, the Consumer Terms of Sale shall apply. As standard, the K2 comes supplied with a black padded case that keeps the controller safe and secure while you’re on the road and also doubles as a stand the raises the height of the controller to the same height as most professional DJ mixers.In the first such mode, you can layer only the 16 (4 x 4) “switch matrix” buttons under the line faders.

You’ll always want a control where there isn’t one, or the ability to label up things once you’re happy with them (a wipe-clean overlay would be a nice accessory, guys). Designed to communicate seamlessly with all MIDI-enabled DAW applications, the Allen Heath K2 can be used as a controller for popular DJ software applications such as Ableton, Traktor Pro and Serato Scratch Live.

Midi mapping is not difficult and once you’ve created a mapping that works for you, you’ve effectively made a custom DJ controller for yourself. We’ll make a full comparison between the two in a future piece, but for now let’s look at the NI’s Kontrol X1 in comparison to the Xone K2.

I think the K2 is what I’m really after, it would be great if that could hold up in clubs, I may take the plunge, its that or a Faderfox FT3, the Faderfox looks like it is built like a tank, and an external Soundcard .

For this DJ set I recorded a Controller view camera angle too, so you folks can see what I’m doing, or at least maybe try to figure out what I’m doing. Sync is great when you mash up your own loops and have numerous things going at once, but for 2 decks and playing the way I do, it’s not necessary. It includes an integrated 4-channel soundcard as well as 52 controls that can be completely reconfigured to give you complete control over your software. In such an event, all rights granted to You under this EULA shall cease, You must cease all activities authorised by this EULA and You must destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component parts within your control. Two could be used together to double up (it’s possible to aggregate audio), or you could use one or two of them with an analogue mixer.
