Just realised that after upgrading, my X1 is pretty redundant, but I still think it's a great controller and would like to use it to supplement the S4 if I can think of anything to use it for. Any suggestions?

Obvious choice are direct access to deck(s) C and/or D, without having to switch layers on your S4 and without having to compromise on hotcues for the sample play buttons. Samewise considering fx units 3&4 in case you're using those.
Any FX extravaganza set-up could be host on the X1 too.
Direct access for C&D is a great way to do it, another good thing to do is to have macros setup... basically use it as an effects machine
setup freeze buttons, maybe auto slicers, drama build ups... etc
Padi's got a great X1 mapping on traktor bible. I've got one in my sig that I'm rather fond of.
Cheers guys, I'll check out those suggestions when I've got time to sit down and get my head around it...
i use an x1 and maschine with my s4, heres some of the stuff i use em for:
- effect combos
- panning
- controlling keys
- change deck flavor (b/w sample decks and track decks)
etc.
Are their any step by step instruction on setting up macros?Quote:

Other then this it was basically going to go to waste so its better, i use this more then my main controller
I'm working on making it a sample deck controller and just use s4 for A and B.
I really enjoy 1:1 mappings.
individual slot volumes with modifers to use the encoders as a relative filter control.
I have 1 fx section on th s4 for filters on each deck and the other fx section on the s4 will probably be effects.
Hot cue shift is going to contain some instant effects I think.
I wanted to use the midi fighter but it seems like the X1 has more control availability.
I don't really think midi mappings are concrete and you should come up with a basic concept and then use it and mold it as time progresses.
I'm just trying to figure out what exactly each sample function does.
