Ill keep this short and sweet. Ive been looking into getting a new modular setup (featuring a mixer like a z2 or dnx1600) and it looks like ill be pulling the trigger on the z2. Quick question… If i add an x1 can I control the tempo faders? Yes yes i know i could midi map it but im looking for something simple, as Im useless at mapping outside of Ableton. I mix tracks with a wide bmp range per set (100-200 or so) so a pitch control is essential.
That’s exactly how my setup works. You can easily map one of the rotary knobs to control pitch but it won’t be as accurate as a pitch slider. I have mine set to make jumps of .07 bpm.
If you like, I can send you my .tsi for the kontrol x1. It has all the controls for 2 decks: hot cues, sync, play, FX control, pitch, looping.
You can change the value of how much tempo is moved by right-clicking on the tempo - and + buttons and selecting prefered option. Well that is what I discovered recently
The standard mapping has buttons mapped to pitch control which move in ~0.02BPM increments at low tempo ranges. You could assign some knobs to do larger changes if you need.
