The NI Traktor X1 MK2 Thread

Do you have midi mode activated in the controller settings?

[dj gullum]

there is no option for switching to midi mode in X1MKII preference tab, I want to use it with Cross. And the manual says to press shift + load left and right to switch to midi mode for use with other software.

When doing this inside traktor it de/activates snap and quantize

[Xtian317]

I don't have my X1 in front of me, but are you pressing both load buttons at the same time (while holding shift)?

[dj gullum]

I would like to think so yes only a latency of some mill sec maybe

Timbo21, how is the mixer+X1MK2 combo working out?

Im at a stage of considering ditching my S4 for a DNX1600 and an X1MK2 (maybe 2!) despite the S4's Traktor intergration.

I just played a gig last night using only an Z1 and X1 MK2 and it worked perfect. I think it was even better then using a S2 except if I wanted to scratch witch I almost never do.
If only I could make it work in midi mode so I could map it to Mixvibes Cross would be perfect. I can see the X1 could replace my DDJ SX for many of my gigs.

Very pleased with it.

I like analogue. It's a bigger more open sound I'm getting. I can even tell the difference on my iphone with it's crummy headphones compared to my S4 recorded mixes. You can be more creative with send/return FX. Traktor FX come across better that way.. Plus lovely filters on the 92

when you connect the X1 MK2 without traktor loaded is it supose to light up in any way? I beginning to think something is wrong with mine

It should light every button in a wave from bottom to top for a few seconds, but after that it should be as if it's off.

Been in contact with NI support ant they confirm it is a known bug and are working on it. It might be a computer specific bug if it's working for some and not others, I only have Mac computers.
