X1 LED for Hotcue State 1

Hey everyone,

So I recently picked up an X1 and am working on mapping it for what I need. I am essentially done, but I have one problem. I mapped the 16 buttons at the bottom to cue points for deck A (left 8 buttons) and deck B (right 8 buttons), but when I load a track the LED for cue 1 won’t light up (mapped to the IN button). I found out, thanks to my roommate, that the reason it doesn’t light up is because the first cue tends to be a grid type, and thus my mapping for output of Hotcue 1 state doesn’t apply. I have the buttons mapped exactly like I mapped it on my APC40 and I never had this problem. Is there a fix for this? I didn’t see any Grid cue 1 state or something that I could map to output the LED for a grid cue point.

In case this helps, the three things I have mapped to each button in this area are

  1. Set/store Hotcue - Button - Hold - Deck A - Hotcue 1
  2. Send Monitor state - Button - Trigger - Global - Invert
  3. Hotcue 1 state - LED - Output - Deck A - Controller Range(0, 1) - Midi Range(0, 127)

TL;DR - LED for Cue 1 won’t light up since it is often a grid cue point.

i don’t know what value is sent for a grid type but if u keep the controller range set to min=-1, max=5 then it’ll output all cue types.

leaving the controller range as -1 to 5 should then output 0 for no hotcue, 1 for a normal cue and 6 for a loop, not sure about others…

also - u don’t need to map “send monitor state” afaik. when a new track is loaded it automatically sends out any hotcue status if you have any “hotcue X state”'s mapped

Thanks zestoi :+1:, worked perfectly! To be honest, I was basically waiting for a reply from you because I know you are one of the more knowledgable people on these forums, especially with mapping. And yeah I just tend to regurgitate pieces of other mappings to build my own custom mappings so I threw that send monitor state in there just to be safe, good to know its not necessary in this case.

cool, glad i could help. it’s always fun putting together your own mappings :wink: one of the biggest plus points for me of using software with controllers is being able to map each control exactly how u want it, rather than just using someone elses mapping verbatim.

I want to make some LED candles with these and mix them in with the pvc kind. I can’t wait to melt some hot glue on the container and see how well the votive still shines through.
The tube is rather pliable and I am curious to see if the hot glue melts it a bit.
