K2 question

K2 question

Hi everyone,

I got my K2 a fortnight back and loving it so far. 4 deck mapping (alongside an X1) is done and will be posted on this forum when I get around to make a suitable drawing of all the functions. Now there is one thing that annoys the hell out of me: the output routing seems to be ‘wrong’ when Traktor isn’t running. Only the headphone output works outside of traktor which is stupid because it’s already hooked up to the sound system anyway, why do I have to switch cables every time I want to listen to normal music? Is there any way to fix this? Do I have the settings wrong in Traktor or what?

I’m using a Macbook, if that makes any difference.

Oh, and while we’re at it: how can I map the colors other than red? Most of the green and orange ones require half-notes that are not accessible via the traktor mapping interface, such as ‘Bb5’ (everything ‘b’ doesn’t show up in Traktor)… Is there a way to ‘convert’ those to Traktor language?

look at the k2 manual on allen & heath page.green and yellow have another midi command also red

well the manual is actually the problem: it says the correct note for orange is Bb5 for example. now in the mapping interface in traktor no such note exists, only B5 or B#5. most color led outputs other than red have such notes that traktor does not accept. what am I doing wrong?

the mapping I was talking about can be found here now: Simply X1 + K2 four decks (almost) all-inclusive.

Bb5 is also A#5 and Ab5 is also G#5

b is 1/2 not down and # is 1/2 note up
Db=C# Eb=D# Gb=F# Ab=G# Bb=A#

that should help map your LEDs

brb mapping LED’s.

THX!
