    Yup, that how default mapping works. Unfortunately there's no way of re-selecting the deck focus unless you re-plug the unit but at least they offer some kind of deck switching system which is great if you have a single X1.

    Yes, you can toggle between HID and MIDI on the fly, see the manual. And you can find 4-deck mappings on Google.

    This is just a random thought but what if you set a button-mouse translator in Bome to:

    Note: Preferences Window is always open but moved it the corner of the screen, by leaving enough space to click on and drag it back.
    -Click+Move the Preferences Window to your preferred coordinates.
    -Click Device/Traktor.Kontrol X1 MK2.Default/Edit/Delete mapping device
    -Click Add../Traktor/Kontrol X1 MK2/Default (imports mapping back, A-B starts flashing again)
    -Click+Move the Preferences Window back to the screen edge.

    ^There's ALWAYS a Bomes solution for everything.

    But you could even have a translator (mouse click/mouse co-ords) to open & close the Traktor prefs window?

    So, re-importing the X1 MKII .tsi resets the unit (equivalent of unplugging/replugging it), allowing you to chose between A-B/C-D control?

    That's interesting... I've not used Bomes seriously since the days of my UC-33e Ableton Live Mouseless Navigation Template... But this might just sway me into getting the X1...

    Traktor is slow on opening/closing the Preferences window, especially if you have a load of mappings in the Device Menu. So that's something to bare in mind if you want a button translator with quick operation..

    Actually yes I just checked it with my X1 MK2 and that seems to be the case.

    Using X1 to control the floor of C & D is a very creative act. Thanks pro !!

    That sounds really awkward.

    I think it probably makes more sense to have the HID layer controll A/B and the MIDI layer (mapped as close as possible) to control C/D. That, you can switch from the front panel (Shift + both load buttons).

    I am wondering, though, what the problem is with just buying a second one?
    I'm mostapha. I lost control of that acount and just decided to create another one.

    Although it maybe does sound that, it is still instantaneous one button operation with Bomes versus the "SHIFT+LeftArrow+RightArrow" to open/close the Midi Mode of X1 MKII.

    Problem with that is you are losing the touchstrip controls and the Encoder loop displays with MIDI.
