    Default Isit possible to use a K2 as a mixer with an X1?

    Just as the title says. I'd really like to use the K2 as my mixer and X1 as my fx and loading transport. Is it as easy as just mapping it to Traktor properly?

    thanks

    Yea It's not hard to get the K2 to do that. There are a lot of mappings that will give you that type of functionality. I just started making a new mapping because I wanted full control of the mixer including gain, filter, and a super eq knob. Once I finish that I'll send you the link if you would want to test it out.

    I had my k2 controlling traktor completely alone. I had play/pause, hot cues, sync, and full mixer controls... I cant remember where I got the mapping, but it should be on the A&H xone website..

    It is quite possible to even use the K2 for full 4 deck + EFX control if you are patient enough to mess around with the latching layers. I am currently mapping the second layer, I'll try to post my mapping once this is done. I use the K2 for home mixing and it is a great backup controller as well. When my Kontrol S2 broke, I actually played out one time with only the K2 and had a great time.

    This was the mixer portion of my K2 mapping.





    FX portion





    tsi files are attached, but don't ask me for help because I don't remember any particulars about the mappings. I don't even remember if you need all of these files or what each one is outside of its title

    Are you asking me? That was probably all mapped on 2.6. I'm not sure though.

    From what I understand, there's no click at the center on the K2 knobs? Wouldn't that make it frustrating to use as a mixer?

    Yes, but you get used to it.
