Traktor Kontrol X1 swap deck control mapping?

Hi, long time reader, first time poster =)

I have an X1 I use with Traktor Scratch Pro 2.5.1 and I’d like to be able to swap its control of decks A+B or C+D on the fly. For example, hit a button on the X1 or a key on my keyboard and the X1 will change between controlling A+B and then C+D. Kind of like you can do on the S4. I looked through the Controller Manager options but couldn’t find this anywhere. Does anybody have any ideas? Will it take a more involved hack to make this happen?

Thanks!

(I have an S4, but I’m spending more time doing “traditional DJ’ing” now with CDJs & sometimes Traktor Scratch so bringing the S4 to gigs and fitting into already cramped DJ booths is kind of cumbersome. I don’t want to have to buy another X1 and carry two of them to gigs just to use the C+D decks occasionally.)

Hi I’d also like some knowledge if this is possible…been thinking about it for ages but dont know where to start!

Its possible, but much easier just to pick up a second X1 i would imagine.

Hi guys, first you need to decide which button you want to press to engage/disengage A+B / C+D. Then map toggle modifier to that button so each time you press it modifier values would switch between 0-1.

Add in Modifier 1
Modifier conditions / M1=0
Type of controller-button
Interaction mode-direct
Set to value-1

Add in Modifier 1
Modifier conditions / M1=1
Type of controller-button
Interaction mode-direct
Set to value-0

Now map all A+B commands with modifier condition M1-0 and for C+D set M1-1.

The X1 default mapping already uses the first 4 modifiers.
So if you copied it for C & D using another modifier it would be a bit messy.

You can change it to C & D in the preferences, or you can press Shift & Hotcue to put it into midi mode and map it that way.

Do you have an F1?
I have made an X1 exact copy for my F1 for C & D, which I toggle between the remix deck mapping.
