Rekordbox DJ Kontrol X1 mk2 help needed!

Hi, I’m trying to map my Kontrol x1 mk2 with Rekordbox DJ. The map I’m using is by Antony Alonso and although i can get it to load in rekordbox, I’m getting no readouts on the leds for looping or any lights under the buttons. To be honest I have no idea what I’m doing! Is there a step by step guide somewhere to follow? I’ve tried using the NI Controller editor but can find no templates anywhere for the controller on the program or anywhere online. Help is needed please!
Thanks
Adam

Manually add the LED outputs in the mapping editor.

(I’m Anthony Alonso btw and totally didnt realize that mapping is still getting circulated :-p)

Thanks. Is that in rekordbox or the controller editor? I’ve never had to use midi mapping before :confused:

Is there a guide somewhere i can read? I’m a little baffled if honest!

Theres not really a guide anywhere. It’s in the midi editor in Rekordbox DJ itself. I will post a screenshot once I get a chance.

Thanks

Any luck with the screen shot?

Ah my bad, I’ve just had another look over the video on YouTube, I thought you’d mapped to leds over the loop size rotaries to read out the loop size selected. Although if you do know how to get this done, I’d be interested!

Help please

I have a gig and need to travel so I bought the X1-MK2 and set up everything but the led, please, can you show me at least this screenshot so I can figure out how to make that happen… pretty please!

Thank you

I do not have my X1 MK2’s anymore. What you need to do is, ensure the midi out is the same as the midi in. You can manually type in any values that are incorrect. Please see the screenshot below.

Thank you, those are written by default when using the learn button.
Still not working but I will try hard cause I really need that feedback.

If you have any other ideas ( I also asked on Pioneer Forum ) that would be nice.
If not, thank you anyway

Mos definitely. Another work around is to open the mapping csv in either excel or notepad++ and ensure tha velue are correct.

Not sure this is exactly relevant but I worked out a bit of mapping issues with X1mk2 and RB with controller editor.

I was just trying to get the play buttons to light up and stay on when the deck is playing.

It took a fair amount of figuring out but basically it’s all about how you configure NI Controller Editor and making sure the knobs are set right.

Type > Control Change (not note)
Mode > Toggle
Value > off = 1 on = 2.
Action = Down
Also another thing to note, the way the midi is displayed in RB is in HEX eg B02C . The way it’s displayed in Controller Editor is Decimal eg CC 44.

You have to use a HEX to DECIMAL convertor to work out the corresponding numbers BUT you have to drop the first letter / number (either 9 or B) from the HEX midi.

So using the below website put in “02C” instead of B02C and you will get 44 which will be CC 44 in Controller Editor.

Then you can play with Mode eg Toggle / Gate depending on what you’re trying to achieve. Also, for some button mappings, to get the LEDs to work right, you need to change the drop down in LED to Midi Out.

Ive been tearing my hair out with this so hope it helps someone!
