Using an X1 and VCI100se at the same time

[smiley286]

Ok so right now I am using a vci100se with the 1.3 firmware and traktor pro. I have wanted to get traktor pro 2 and now I see that the X1 is being bundled with the full version of traktor pro 2.

So now I wanted to know if I simply connected the X1 with the mappings that NI gives me and then connect the VCI100se and download some mappings that I find on these forums will they able to work together? Even if some of the features where to overlap?

in short yes. so long as you connect each device's tsi to the actual in and out ports for that device, i.e: don't use the "all ports" option, it will be fine.

tho i'm sure you'd want to come up with some custom mappings as quite a lot is probably going to be duplicated on each controller. plenty of mappings for both devices tho, so some kind of mix-and-match should work.

or if you're on a mac you could always try the xtreme mapping app and merge different bits etc.

Thanks. Ive been wanting to get Traktor 2 for a while now and this is a perfect excuse. Im usuing a pc with windows 7 so i guess that its more difficult to map than for a mac

i'm tempted myself... don't really need an X1 but it would be very cool and could sell my current traktor license if the one with the X1 isn't transferable (which it might be anyway)

very cool price...

I've used my X1 with one of those cheap Hercules mixers that has to have a custom mapping to work with TP so it should be possible with the Vestax.

It's not transferable

It's not transferable

sorry for the noob question but the license is not transferable? is that because it specifically is tied to the X1 that I buy?

That's a good question. It SHOULD be tied to your NI account and you SHOULD be able to sell the X1 and still keep the Traktor. I would ask NI before you buy of plan on selling the X1 though.
