Ive been struggling with this for several hours now, and short of making a brand new map from scratch in midi mode, is there any simple way to get an X1 Mk2 to control Decks A and D?
Can I simply somehow expose the code from the default AB map, and change all the B decks to D decks?
Im very comfortable with remapping controls, but the scope of replicating the default setup with all cue colours and touchstrip etc is far beyond what im willing to spend time on when I get so little time to mix as is.
You can choose every other combination of ABCD, but not AD. Why, NI, why?
The reason im doing this is that I have a four channel mixer, with turntables on 1 and 4, and CDJs on 2 and 3.
I use the CDJs to control decks B and C in Traktor, and want the X1 to control decks A and D.
as much as you might not want to hear this, just switch your cdjs and turntables on your mixer. this is the fastest easiest fix that does not require you to possibly destroy your entire mapping. if you can avoid messing with the software that is always the safest answer. also, i think you may be looking for CD deck mapping because im pretty sure all mixers go CABD from left to right.
I have a Xone 42 with phono inputs only on Channels 1 and 4. I use muti core cables so the phono input goes directly into input 1 on Channels 1 and 4, and the soundcard output from Traktor goes into input 2 on Channels 1 and 4.
Edit: looked up CABD, had never of heard of it as a thing before. Huh. Im really looking for the straightforward ABCD mixer layout that corresponds with my hardware.
This means i have a completely hybrid setup for playing from Traktor, or just from vinyl and USB. To make this work, i need the X1 to control DVS on Decks A and D.
Thanks dude, but Im very familiar with basic Traktor mapping and would have done it if it was this easy
On the X1 Mk2, you can select AB, BC, CD, AC, CA, BD.
But not AD.
You cannot assign individual decks on each side by default. You can create a new mapping, but the default mapping includes a bunch of modifiers, and conditional programming for the colours, cue states, and shift keys, plus the touchstrip, and recreating all of that is what im trying to avoid.
Im really asking the Traktor mapping gurus if there is any simple way to copy the mapping from A to D with all associated programming somehow.
Im hoping Stewe might pop by, probably should have posted there first.
There is no simple way of doing this (surprised?) You have to map everything from scratch and hope that only two conditionals would be enough for all touch strip’s different states of controls.
Im the same, i love the clean look of TT CDJ CDJ TT, and always enjoy overhead video mixes where the sources correspond with the channels so I can follow the logic of the mix.
Anyhoo, ive done what NI wanted me to do and use another X1, luckily I had an old one in storage.
Bam, ABCD setup in seconds.
It really is nice having ABCD on input 1 on all 4 mixer channels, and then having full Traktor control over ABCD on input 2, plus any combination of both setups at once.
I still don’t understand why using a CABD mixer layout is not a solution, the CDJ’s would control deck A&B and the X1 would control C&D. Having the CDJ’s on deck B&C sounds confusing to me as they are not next to or below each other. And you can assign any deck to any channel, so you can position your hardware wherever you want.
So you’ve never thought to configure Phono Input 1 to control Deck C? CABD makes perfect sense because then you’re grouping your CDJ’s across the top of your screen, and your turntables across the bottom of your screen.
It also then allows you to minimise your CDJ controlled decks (A&B) on the screen if you don’t need to look at them, and leave your TT controlled decks bigger if you want.
Anyhow, each to their own, I’m for CABD, obviously your head works differently to the rest of us
