4-band EQ with TPro 2
Hi guys,
Now the 4-band EQ is available in TPro 2, has anyone succeeded in changing the mappings so we can use it neatly?
I’d like to move my filter knobs to control the low band, and use FX units for Xone 92 filters.
Cheers,

I liked using the 4 band Eq mostly because I could take away bass from a song especially during transitions without losing mids and vocals. So I just have both mid-hi and mid-lo mapped to the same mid knob on the s4 controller as I can go without the use of controlling them indapendantly and rather not sacrifice any other knob.
wow thats a really smart idea! i like it
Is it possible to set the mid low and mid high buttons with the Shift button? Adjust mid low with Shift + Low and adjust mid high with Shift + Mid or Shift + High?
Yeah after the same thing myself. Really thought NI would just made it switch that way when you selected the EQ mode 
I think that’s a smart idea manchild about mapping mid high and mid low to the same knob, i might give that a whirl and see what it’s like.
Failing that i was thinking the same - using the filter knob as the low in 4 band mode.
However, i don’t want to take up an fx slot just for a filter.
I’ll have to have a good play and think about it.
Thanks. Try combining the hi and mid-hi together on the single Hi knob too. I’ve been running like this lately and like it better so far. Mid-hi and HI seems to catch everything I’m looking to boost when I want to raise the volume of the Highs and vocals in a track without getting too much mid’s. Mid-lo’s I keep on the Mid knob and it seems to catch some suttle basslines and deeper voices, and I’ve been keeping low on the low knob like before.
are you doing this in native mode? Did you select the Xone EQ in preferences and then add a user mapping? Sounds like a great idea.
any adjustments like that I have a user mapping to go alongside the default mapping since they dont conflict. Litterally add in Kontrol s4 mapping (user) go to user mapping then add in mixer/eq/whatever eq to whatever knob you want to use
When implementing something like this. Is it still in NHL mode ?
Has anyone tried this for Xone EQ on the S4

Great stuff manchild… Thanks!
I’m having some conflict mapping this.
Basically what I want is
S4 Hi = Xone Hi + Mid Hi
S4 Mid = Xone Mid Lo
S4 Lo = Xone Lo
By Default the S4 Mid is mapped to Xone Mid Hi and the Mid Lo is not mapped at all. When I map the S4 Lo knob to the Xone Mid Lo knob it also affects the Xone Mid Hi
Would you pls be able to Explain or send me the TSI so I can have the Xone EQ mapped to the S4 without conflict.
Thanks and Much Appreciated.
Unfortunately you are right. I ended up changing back to my orignal 4-band set-up because of it ( High - s4 HI, mid HI and Mid Lo - s4 mid, Low - s4 Low). Unless you want to delete the default mapping and re-map the whole controller in MIDI mode.
I switched to the xone eq yesterday and made the S4 mid hi and lo in the xone mids. I did a four hour set today and didn’t have any problems. What conflicts are you guys getting?
Yea that can be done. Thats what I first suggested, but I had the idea of combining the mid hi and hi on the hi knob instead. The conflict is when you do that the mid hi gets reset by the mid knob on the s4 when you turn it cause the default s4 mapping has the mid hi controlled by the mid knob on the s4. So i’ll bring up the HI and mid HI with the s4 HI knob and as soon as you touch the mid knob on the s4 to control the mid lo the mid hi is changed with it. seems mad confusing…let me know if you get what i’m saying
This mapping was just updated today. http://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingview.aspx?id=192
Installed and working perfectly here… Hope this helps anyone that is looking to use all 4 knobs/xone mixer
PS: use the big fat import button. It will clear out any existing mappings so be sure to back them up prior to import (using edit → export for each area). Then reimport using add → import each missing area such as midi fighter, etc (if you have them).
I have a good mapping posted at:

I hope it works for you!
BTW this contains 3 and 4-band mappings for the S4

I might have found an issue with the 4 band mapping.
Stop both decks. On deck B set a 1/32 loop.
When I hit play on my X1 (deck B) both decks start playing and both are in a 1/32 loop?
Meanwhile I cannot stop deck A at all. Stopping deck B takes deck A out of the 1/32 loop and starts to play as deck B is stopped. :eek:
It’s not a big deal for me really since I very rarely use Loops but I thought that I would let you know about it.
I asked NI about the User mapping implementation – it is clearly different than the Default. Here’s the response:
"The default and user mapping share the same signaling, but the default mapping uses an additional layer (called Device I/O) for more complex mechanisms, such as driving the loop size LED’s, and the high-res jog wheels which the user mapping currently cannot access.
Instead of reimplementing all these functions to the user mapping, we plan to make the default mapping much more configurable in the future, and we are already working on this. This will allow you to use the functions that are only available in default mode side by side with your custom-mapped functions."
So I look forward to seeing what NI provides for this in future product releases, which will hopefully allow User mappings (or hybrid Default + User mappings) to be even more functional.
