Sooooo due to the request of many users who thought NI’s new TSI was a big f*ck you to the people who used the X1 with the native mapping, I’m planning on merging these 2 bad boys.
I will make them compatible with either 4 deck control (A/B native and C/D samplers) and as C/D (if you use a controller/TT/CDJ to control your main decks) being able to toggle deck modes on the fly for the lower ones. This TSI will contain both modes and you will be able to choose between them for tighter integration with your setup. Mode 1 (4 decks) will control FX units 1/2 and Mode 2 (C/D) will control FX units 3/4. If you use 2 X1 you can load both modes and have control over the 4 FX units but in the following layout 1/2 (left) and 3/4 (right).
Any insight before I start working with my ultra secret resizable mapping window (not really)?
dude, well done for taking the hit! I’d put up my tsi (and will if you like) but it’s very unrefined as I basically bastardised the old 4 deck mapping I was using to enable sample decks. There are a load of modifiers left lying around and I need to rebuild it from scratch with the standard mapping after I’ve played with all the possible functions.
When I first got it I did something to the browse section which i like but can’t remember what it was lol so that’s why i didn’t start from scratch in the first place (I was lazy basically )
To avoid having people to relearn things, keep it as close to the official one as possible, but I’m open.
The only thing I will change to make everyone happy is have The samplers play/pause (when using one shots) act as CUP.
I had a beta of this built with the S4 software but I have no clue where I left it It was based on the early sample deck X1 mapping so a few things were different.
The final TSI will have left and right pages, so people can choose which mode they want to load.
The main thing I can think of is to use the top half (with the 8 buttons and adjacent knobs) to be used as sample deck control. The buttons on the left half would control/launch the 4 decks on deck c (same with deck d for right half) and the knobs would control level/filter. Perhaps make the knobs control levels automatically and shift+knob controls filter? I think that would present a problem since the knob may nit be in standard 12 o cock position.
Ive started to remap mine in this exact way. Shift + Knob to control the filters. Im finding that the level of the filter Jumps to the level of the main vol when i switch between shift and non-shift.
I’ve started using the left encoders and FX 1 + 2 buttons for controlling the loop recorder - top encoder for loop length, bottom encoder for D/W, FX1 button for rec and FX2 button for play/pause.
Also mapped some of the buttons in the lower section to load a recorded loop into one of the sample slots.
I considered it, but at some parts I just needed to write more (besides from the fact that I needed to use 3-4 pics), so it would be one cluttered pdf.
I am just setting up my X1 for the first time and I’m looking for a mapping which uses the native functions on the X1 for playback, FX etc but also incorporates the control of 2 sample decks via midi mode perhaps??
I will be using it alongside a Timecode CDJ setup with a DJM 600.
Thanks for the replies. that would be great Padi if you could. When do you think you will be able to do this? Can I still use your mapping for the required functions for the time being?
