I just received my X1 yesterday and am finding some oddness. Here is my setup:
Took my Numark Mixtrack, which previously controlled Decks A&B and changed the deck assignments to C & D respectively. I added the Kontrol X1 and imported the “NHL - single AB Mixer.tsi” file from the X1 setup DVD. This tsi is for the most part how I want the controller to be laid out. I made sure I deactivated the default X1 layout
Here is my problem: When using Deck B Volume Fader Pot, Deck A moves as well. This happens with all the mixer pots. Deck A EQ Lo Pot will affect Deck B’s.
It’s called the Tea Time error. It’s not you it’s the controller. My advice would be to try and return it to the place you bought for a new one. Or you can contact NI through their site and get a support ticket.
Same thing happened to me as well as many others, it is pretty well documented.
I believe it is an internal name for the errant knob behavior. Came across the description on the X1 forum @ NI. Not so well documented I suppose but very well experienced on the forums (NI and here). The name I wager comes from the wrong signals sent at or about the 12-3 o’clock position.
