Xone K2 - Mapping Loop Size and Set in Traktor.....FAIL!!!!

[nynemusic]

Wow! I've come a long way since my last post.
Have a really neat Xone K2 2 deck mapping for external mixer.
It even has cool beat phase LED's etc.....

But for some reason i cant get the Loop mappings to work.

I want the left most and right most top encoders to select loop size when rotating, (works!!) and activate the loop on/off when i press the encoder.
Now this is really basic and i know how to do it and i have done it on other controllers without issues.

The funny thing is, sometimes it actually works and then the loop active light works but no loop is set in Traktor.
Been scratching my head for the last 3 nights!

Someone, please help so i can then share my mapping!!

Cheers guys!

Do you work with the "Is In Active Loop" output command? not the "Loop Set" or "Loop Active".

Hi Stewe, if i understand correctly, that would relate to LED mapping (Add Out)
My issue is that i can select size of the loop by the rotary encoder, but pressing the encoder button does not toggle loop on or off.
I would like it to function just like the Loop encoder button on the Kontrol X1, S4 etc..... rotating selects loop size, pressing toggles on or off. Also these have to be random loops, not stored so u can select size and toggle on a loop wherever the playhead is.
It sounds super easy as it should, all the commands are there. It just doesn't work as it should.
I have read it has something to do with Flux mode since 2.6 onwards......
I dont use Fluz mode, any where i can turn it off and see if the looping works.....
This is really annoying as my mapping is complete, i am really happy and proud of myself, but i have no control over loops!

please help guys!
Thanks

Yup, what I said addresses to the LED output... I understood you have problems with it, sorry about that.

This is the command that should set loops correctly (currently it sounds that you're using the "Loop Active On")

Stewe i do that but it only allows me to use the Button as HOLD, i need a toggle......
I just dont get it! Why would it NOT allow me to set it as Toggle......

Flux mode disabled?

[nynemusic]

I did read somewhere that the Loop Set (Hold/Toggle) had something to do with Flux mode....
I dont use Flux and i did not make any mapping to enable or disable it.
I just saw that its in the Deck drop menu. Theres no * next to Flux Mode so i am assuming its disabled......

[nynemusic]

yes it is disable.....Loop Set still only gives me the option to use as Hold.....

That's strange... There must be something wrong with the controller itself.
What happens if you map it to your computer keyboard?

Since I don't own K2 to troubleshoot it for you, I've search youtube a bit and came across video - dude has mapped bottom two encoders to handle loop set and size in the same fashion as you described.
Can you please give it a try and map this two encoders to see if they possibly handle midi massages in a different way that those at the top?
