    Default Traktor X1 MIDI layer doesn't work

    So every six months or so I post this problem here or on the native-instruments board; I still can't believe I'm the only one in the world this happens to. My X1 works perfectly in normal mode, but MIDI mode (shift+hotcute, the hotcue light turns green) fails to work at all. The X1 is sending MIDI signals, but Traktor refuses to acknowledge them. If I reinstall the X1 software (which I do every so often) this is temporarily fixed, but then it seemingly randomly goes out again - not sure if it's when I move the X1 to a different port on the USB hub or what. Reimporting the tsi for my X1 midi layer doesn't help at all; the only solution is to reinstall the X1 software and controller manager again.

    Does nobody else have this happen? Do most people not use the MIDI layer at all?

    BTW Mac OS X, Traktor 2.1.1, but this has been happening at least as far back as 1.2.something when I got the X1. Thanks!

    I use the Midi layer. In 2.1.1 it seemed it would take a couple of restarts sometimes, but lately it's been perfect every time.

    Ah cool and you're on 2.5 right? I guess I finally have a reason to get remix decks....

    Obvious one but are you sure the midi option is ticked in the X1 preferences panel?

    I also have this problem and tried everything to have it fixed. Starting to really piss me off.
