The New Modular Pillar of the Traktor Ecosystem
The reference successor, the X1 MK3, continues the legacy of modular controllers favored by Traktor DJs. Its revamped black finish, transparent chassis, and functional backlighting modernize ergonomics while enhancing visibility in the booth. With Traktor Pro 3 included, it becomes the ideal solution to enrich a mixer setup or complement an existing rig without adding bulk.
For Which DJs and Uses?
The Traktor X1 MK3 is aimed at mobile DJs, club residents, controllerists, and performers who want precise control over playback, loops, and effects. Ideal in a "external mixer + controllers" configuration, it fits perfectly in clubs, events, bars, and home studios. Its discreet form factor easily slips between turntables and mixers or can be paired for 4-deck management.
Features and New Additions
The control surface offers a performance-focused experience: 5 OLED screens display remaining time, track names, and effect parameters, while the new illumination system alerts when a track is nearing its end or a loop is active. The color-coded buttons are fully customizable from Traktor Pro 3's customization page, with ready-to-use presets. Tactile points improve accessibility and orientation on stage, even in the dark. On the connectivity side, the powered 3-port USB hub allows connecting other controllers and chaining multiple X1 units without multiplying power supplies. The X1 MK3 is plug-and-play with Traktor Pro 3 and can be MIDI-mapped to adapt controls to your workflow.
