Staying immersed in the moment couldn't be easier with the Traktor X1 Mk3. The 5 new OLED displays provide you with essential information like remaining time, track names, selected FX and parameters - meaning you can keep your eyes off the laptop and on the X1. You can toggle between different effects units and, as an all new mixer, the X1 keeps all your adjustments to one device. For those heat of the moment decisions, the X1 Mk3 is equipped with new larger action buttons to engage all your different effects.

The Traktor X1 Mk3 will feel familiar to many DJs, however it has been optimised for better and more efficient performance. You’ll find that the effects controls on top have been shifted down closer to the DJ for ease of use. With an additional row of buttons, the Shift control is needed less for essential controls. Finally, there is the return of the 4 encoders from the X1 Mk1 which bring back easy browsing through each deck.

After years of user research from the X1 Mk1 and Mk2, the X1 Mk3 introduces the powerful feature of toggling the upper effects unit to a mixer - perfect for a smaller portable set-up. Combined with the improved layout, additional buttons and controls, and the onboard mixer mode, the Traktor X1 Mk3 is the ultimate all-in-one controller for the travelling DJ!

The X1's RGB LED lighting system not only looks amazing in a club lit setting, but has brilliant functionality. The unit will light up on the specific side where a track or loop is activated, and the X1 will flash red to indicate when nearing the end of the track or stuck in a loop. The RGB lights can be customised from 16 colourful presets in Traktor preferences, making the unit induvial to each DJ.

You can now customise the X1 Mk3 to your individual DJing requirements. The bottom 2 OLED screens can be adjusted to provide different key information such as remaining time, elapsed time and loop size. As well as the bottom RGB LED system, the buttons on top of the unit can also be customised. The entire units colour scheme can be changed to one of 16 presets in Traktor, as well as highlighting specifics buttons with different colours like the play button to stand out.

Modular DJ set ups can get messy very quickly, but the X1 Mk3 combats this with its new bus-powered three-port USB hub. The X1 Mk3 has you covered for any DJ scenario with its improved connectivity options - whether that be using the device individually, pairing with another X1, or better integrating the unit into a standard CDJ setup.

Included with the Traktor X1 Mk3 is the industry standard Traktor Pro 3 software!
