Is the Kontrol X1 in essence a "media player?" In ...

Is the Kontrol X1 in essence a "media player?" In this case, is the Kontrol X1 a "media player" to the left of the mixer and, also, to the right of the mixer? Does the Kontrol X1 in essence replace a CDJ (example: the Pioneer's XDJ-700)? Compared to a Pioneer XDJ-700 or any other pro or semi-pro level media player, what am I not getting with the Kontrol X1, other than, obviously, a jog wheel? Thank you much for an elaborate answer.

I was unable to understand what this, in English, means: You (BH) said: " . . . a digital channel strip of a mixer . . . " Thanks you and regards, Christian

Regarding the statement in the Overview section that the Kontrol X1, together with a computer, requires an "existing installation of the TRAKTOR PRO 3 software," does it mean that if a mixer comes included / "free" with a license for Traktor Pro 3 that I would not have to pay for a Pro 3 license when using the Kontrol X1? In this case, which mixer could I use (which comes with a Pro 3 license included)? Thank you very much!

The Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 - 2+2 Channel Control Mixer, BH #NATKZ2 would come with TRAKTOR PRO 3 software, and this device can be used as an add-on. to that mixer
