Sticking Printed Overlays to Midi Controllers

:tada: I’ve just made the move from CDJing / Xone 92 mixing only to adding a Xone K2 to the family.

To say I don’t know what I’m doing is an understatement… but I deserve some congratulating to get this far!

  • I’ve installed Traktor
  • Installed a Map
  • Found the template to print, and printed it for that map
  • Laminated these two bits of paper
  • …

Next questions:
Do I fold/cut these carefully just with scissors? Or do I use a specific tool?
Can I pay a printing company to do this so it looks more professional and neat? What did you do that looked great?

And then sticking them on. Whats best to stick them onto the Controller?
Double sided tape? A kind of Glue? What looks streamlined and professional?

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

Not important.

The overlays are just a guide - after a while you won’t even need them, because you’ll have learned what all of the buttons do.

Just use what you’ve got (cut with scissors, are a craftknife if you have one) and don’t worry about being too neat!

That’s valuable mixingtime your wasting! :wink:
