Traktor Scratch Pro 2 control
The XONE:PX5 offers the signature warm analogue Xone sound with
leading digital connectivity. The XONE:PX5 incorporates a
high-quality 20 channel 96kHZ, 24-bit USB2 soundcard enabling
seamless integration into digital DJ setups. The high-quality
soundcard supports DVS control of Native Instruments' Traktor
Scratch Pro 2 DJ software allowing you to use the software's
control media (control vinyl or CDs) to scratch and mix with the
digital music stored on your computer.
Xone:Xcite FX suite
The XONE:PX5 Analogue FX DJ Mixer features the Xone:Xcite FX
suite, a high-class FX suite that is specifically tailored for DJ
performances. The XONE:PX5 has it's own array of built-in FX that
can be controlled with the digital interface on the right-hand side
of the mixer. Using the FX is seamless with its intuitive and
familiar controls that provide instant, instinctive operation for
adding energy and excitement to your DJ performance. The XONE:PX5
provides the user with flexible routing for FX allowing them to
assign the FX to each channel, the master or sends which can be pre
or post. With the added feature of the send control knob above each
channel, it makes it easy for the user to control the amount of
send going on for each channel.
For each channel, you also have the option to choose whether to
send the signal to the internal or external FX or even both of them
together for more advance FX processing. Another convenient feature
of the Xone:Xcite FX suite is you now have the ability to dial in
the BPM of the effects manually providing you with much more
flexibility for the FX. The XONE:PX5 FX suite is focused on DJ
orientated effects. Allen & Heath decided to go with more delay and
reverb effects that would be used more regularly than to have a
wide variety of other effects that would never be used. The list of
effects include Masif-Q delay, PCM delay, filter delay, delay &
reverb, mod delay, tape echo, clean plate, swell verb, concert
hall, tiled room, attack gate, reso gate, flanger, pitch verb,
timewarp and distortion.
External connections
With the XONE:PX5 you have the ability to connect external
software/hardware instruments such as drum machines and
synthesizers that can be connected via 1/4 inch jack input
connections. The integrated MIDI clock engine can send start/stop
messages to external devices. Additionally, the XONE:PX5 can
send/receive MIDI clock information through its USB connection as
well. X:LINK is still available on the XONE:PX5 allowing you to
connect up the Xone:K series controllers to your setup whilst
saving USB ports on your computer. The XONE:PX5 offers both classic
and advance DJ setups allowing you to get your perfect DJ set of
vinyl, CD/media player, laptop, external software/hardware and
external FX units.
Build and layout
The XONE:PX5 is a powerful DJ and club mixer that is solidly
built with robust faders and controllers, and a clean layout. The
volume faders provide smooth control and are clearly designed for
long smooth transitions between electronic tracks, particularly
house and techno. However, the crossfader features 3 different
crossfaders curves so if you are a scratch DJ you can choose the
best setting for your mixing style.
The crossfader is also Innofader compatible, allowing you to
upgrade to an Innofader Pro 2 crossfader for the ultimate
performance. The fader is a popular choice among scratch DJs. The
lights, buttons and digital screen are brightly lit, enabling you
to clearly identify which tracks are active with FX and check the
sound level of each channel.
