Kontrol X1 lights aren’t turning on after custom mapping.

So I just finished my first custom mapping ever on my Kontrol X1. All the buttons work great. There are no problems with the triggers themselves, but the only thing I can’t seem to figure out is why none of the lights are turning on. The controller just stays dark. The only button that lights up when I press it is the hotcue.

I looked into preferences for the light settings but nothing’s different than it was before. It’s still 100% and 10%.

Has anyone else had this problem before? and if so how can I correct this?
I’m just worried about being able to see it in the dark.

Thanks.

Do you have the outputs mapped? Try unplugging and plugging it back in.

I had this “problem” at first as well, im pretty sure it’s because you didn’t map them. Also, when you map them, make sure you use the ‘invert’ option if you would rather the light stay off and turn on when you press the button.

What? Unless the Native mapping differs from midi, this is the opposite of what you want to do for that behavior.

I’m sorry. I’m not sure if I understand. You’re saying that you need to map the lights themselves? Is there an option for that?

and when I unplug it and plug it back in the lights go up the controller but then there’s nothing.

yep exactly. you need to map an OUT in traktor for each setting back to the button you want to light up. in your case i guess its a simple case of just adding an OUT for each IN and selecting the same note/cc as you did for the IN.

just click on “Add Out…” instead of “Add In…” in traktor…

Really appreciate the help everyone!
