I’m going to get the xone k2 (put my name down for one from the shop in manchester)
I have found my old cheap usb midi cable, which I have got to work with my tower.
so, my setup will be like this:
Laptop USB to Xone 4D to run traktor.
Tower USB to xone k2 which will control ableton live and play the samples (idents) when broadcasting live.
line out from K2 to 4D, to mix all audio.
Monitor line output of 4D to x-fi card in tower to broadcast.
midi keyboard via seperate USB midi cable
if I want to go mobile, then simply the k2 and traktor in internal mode.
I figured if I need a line in to record, then for the rare occasion I’d need it, changing the USB cable of the 4D into the tower instead of the laptop.
