    So, I picked up two of these to go with my Xone DB2 mixer, and I'm loving it - size is perfect, screens are gorgeous, solid build quality, great workflow, and just super fun all around! Would recommend wholeheartedly if you're not tied to the jog wheel style of DJing.

    Most features are pretty self-explanatory, but I'd really like to browse the "official" manual for the D2 - I can't seem to find it anywhere.

    Has it not surfaced yet, or is it just buried somewhere that I have yet to find?

    Cheers,
    Mac

    Same question. I have a pair coming in the mail today. Wanted to skim the manuals in advance... Where are they?

    I think someone mentioned in another thread that there has yet to be a manual for the D2. I don't own a d2 so check with support or maybe the moderators.

    As TroyMichael has mentioned, NI is yet to release the official manual for the D2 and at this stage there is only the Set Up guide available to download. I do not own a D2 but I do use a Kontrol S8 which you will obviously be aware the D2 is based on. In the meantime you can download and reference the S8 manual as all the general functions will be identical. The main difference will be the Four extra buttons used for Deck or FX select but that is explained in the Set Up guide and also in the Knowledge Base. You can download the S8 manual from here: http://www.native-instruments.com/f...anuals/TRAKTOR_KONTROL_S8_Manuals_2015_01.zip

    Yes, I've been using the S8 manual as a guide, and I'm very happy with the D2-great build quality, workflow, etc. I picked up a pair of them and it's a ton of fun.
    I just find it very disappointing and head-scratching that a major release of $500 product comes with nothing that gives any details about how to use it.
    I shouldn't have to dig around and use the relevant parts of a related product manual. Just plain annoying.
    Again, I'm happy with my purchase, but no instructions is a pretty big miss.

    You should write an e-mail to NI, at least I will do that.
    You bought a product - and of course, you need a product manual.
    Somehow I am sure that D2 manual will be online very soon.

    Thanks M2 - they must have just recently posted that. Before only the setup guide was available there. Thanks for the heads-up!
