Xone: K2 Thread

[photojojo]

You will not be able to aggregate the sound card on any K2 connected via X:link. So K2 <X:Link> K2 --> USB 1 on the Mac will give you output 1-2 and output 3-4 on the K2 connected to USB. Because you're connected via X:Link to the other K2 you will not be able to use its sound card.

Just to clarify output 1-2 is l-r headphones on the front and 3-4 is l-r of the main RCS's on the back.

That sux!

So the max amount of channels I can achieve is 12? 8 on the DB4 and 4 on the one K2?

So if I want to use 3 sound cards to achieve 16 channels I have to hook each of them to USB?

Yes. What do you need 16 channels for?

[Rexx]

I need more channels for my live shows to be able to work video, lighting, sound and robotics. It would allow me to use the A&H gear as an all-in-one console. I'm just trying to simplify my set-up.

Alright people.

I have a K2 and have an X1 emulator tsi running Traktor just to start things simple. At the moment I seem to only be able to run it through usb, i get nothing from the Xlink - Any ideas?
I have tested a loaded a TSI for Ableton and this time I cannot get the K2 to be recognised in the Midi sync tab under control surface yet it shows up in the input output and also midi ports.
I run a mac so from what I gather I don't need to install any drivers and cannot see anything on the cd that comes with it. I am a mapping novice and have only mapped basic stuff in Ableton to my APC40 in the last.
I might have missed something really obvious and only have limited knowledge so can someone help a brother out?

Cheers - Mark

Can't tell from the post but how are you using the Xlink? Xlink only works between K2s and A&H mixers. You cannot just plug it into your computer's ethernet jack, it's not designed for that

This, the K2's can be connected to each other so that you only have to use one USB on the computer or you can connect them to an A&H DB series mixer.

Yeah I have a Allen Heath DB4 so shouldn't be a problem there

i know the chroma caps dont fit but I really want to replace those faders (using it as a mixer) does anything else work? I have a xone 22 I will try there faders when I get the K2 but I will obviously have to order more.
