    Default FIXED: Xone K2 Single Button With 3 Colors Loop Function

    Hi,

    I recently bought a Xone K2 controller. I'm experimenting with different mappings to understand how it all works. I want to use the K2 without using the layering system because I want to control the LED colors myself. There are 3 colors available on the K2 (Red, Orange and Green). I use traktor 2.5.1. The K2 is running at Channel 14.

    Goal: Create 1 button that cycles through the 3 colors without turning off.

    Problem: I created the config as seen below, but i fails to work somehow.

    The mapping uses a simple loop function where M1 cycles from 0 to 2 by pressing the Layer button. It should display a different color with each button press.



    Can any of you mapping guru's explain why it's not working and how to fix it? I searched the forum but cannot find an answer.

    Note that K2 use different midi massages for each color to same button. You can find it in manual.

    I understand what you did with your modifier switch but I believe traktor can get confuse when M1=2, cause it will try to do two actions at once, so my suggestion would be:
    M1=0 set to 1
    M1=1 set to 2
    M1=2= set to 0

    Not in front my computer at the moment for try debug you tsi, but hope this helps.

    While modifier value is at zero LED state on can't be sent thought.

    Ignore my first reply. I did dl your mapping now and I see that you have used different massages for each color. Try this settings:

    M1-inc (as in your mapping)
    M1=1 - Mod Con M1=3

    If i understand correctly you mean to build a loop function by using the direct interaction mode instead of inc interaction mode?

    M1 Cond1:M1=0 Button-Direct value:1
    M1 Cond1:M1=1 Button-Direct value:2
    M1 Cond1:M1=2 Button-Direct value:0

    i tried it but does not work. Only Orange (M1=1) will light up.

    M1 Cond1:M1=2 Button-Direct value:0 - 0= LED off (not useful obviously)

    What I wrote should work, maybe I needed to bring more detail.

    Add in modifier 1 > type-button > mode- inc
    Add in modifier 1 > Mod Con M1=3 > type-button > mode-direct > value-1 (when value reaches 3 - next press brings it back to 1)

    Add out modifier 1 > controller range 1 - 1 (first color)
    Add out modifier 1 > controller range 2 - 2 (second color)
    Add out modifier 1 > controller range 3 - 3 (third color)

    Ok, so you're shifting the loop to 1..3 and adjust color values accordingly. Unfortunately it only displays 1 color when M1=1.

    I got the idea to see what happens if i reverse the counter from 3..0. when the counter hits 0 it jumps back to 3. Well, It almost works! I got a totally different LED output behavior.

    M1=0 LED off (start)
    press
    M1=3 Orange LED on
    press
    M1=2 Green LED on
    press
    M1=1 Red LED on
    press
    M1=0 LED off
    press
    M1=3 LED Orange on
    press
    M1=2 LED Green on
    press
    M1=1 LED Red on
    press
    M1=0 LED off
    ...

    But if i make the counter jump to 3 when M1=1 the LED goes off. This is very strange imo

    I uploaded this version so you can debug.

    version 2

    I don't know why did you reverse whole thing?
