Native Instruments developed the Traktor Kontrol X1 as a hardware controller for Traktor DJ software for Windows and Apple Mac. An nckx1 file stores a controller template for the Kontrol X1, including its assignments and related settings.
Traktor uses the template to apply the intended control layout when the Kontrol X1 is used. The file is configuration data rather than an audio file or a standalone document.
The format is associated with Traktor and is intended to be used within that software.
Open Traktor on Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac and use its controller or device settings to import the nckx1 file. The file is normally loaded as a Kontrol X1 template rather than opened as a separate document.
If Traktor does not recognize the file, check that the Kontrol X1 and compatible Traktor software are installed and available.
An nckx1 file is a controller configuration, so it has no useful conversion to a general-purpose file format. Use Traktor to load the template and save or recreate the controller mapping within Traktor when needed.
