Kontrol X1 instant gratification 2 deck
Kontrol X1 instant gratification 2 deck Posted on: 22.03.2011 by Corey Tronchin Hi peeps,Attached you'll find the templates to use in the controller editor to make the bottom 4x4 rows on a Kontrol to act as a midifighter. This way, you can use the Instant Gratification mapping for Deck A and B on your X1. You'll find 2 templates, since for some reason I had to lower all midi notes by 1 to make sure they come through correctly. If anybody knows the reason, could you please tell me, I have no idea why this happens. Anyway, attached you'll find the 1-2, which according to the editor has the right notes assignments. I have to use the 1-3 version, with all the midinotes lowered 1 value, to make sure the right notes are given to Traktor. the basic knob page controls deck A, the shift knob page controls deck B. Now I just need to figure out the magic of the instant gratification , it's right in front of me I hope it saves some people some time to remap all the notes! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 1: import the template
Step 2: import the Instant Gratification mapping
Step 3: Set the effects right If for some reason the results (selected effects) are not the same as the Instant Gratification mapping, check your order of effects. Set them exactly as screencapped in this post: http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...cts#post250009 That's it! Happy mashing buttons! | |

| Karolis Petrauskas 25.03.2011 | @padi Mapping this to native mode would be a evening mare LOL. It would be awesome to use the rx assign buttons. To be honest I usually mix with 2 decks anyway, but its always nice to have more power. |
| Wilbur Siress 25.03.2011 | well i kind of got it working after re-installing my x1 driver its now reading midi but only the bottom 2 rows of buttons do fx and the first button on the third row the rest dont work for some reason |

| Wilbur Siress 25.03.2011 | why you say make sure the template is active do you mean it should be highlighted in gray in the controller editor. If so that is how I have it. I deleted mappings for decks c&d and the output/inputs are on all ports. I noticed that when I put my x1 in midi mode and try to map it to generic midi functions it wont learn the buttons. Maybe its not recognizing in midi mode for some reason? I have it enabled. I'm pretty new to the controller stuff tho so I may just be missing something. I really appreciate the help though! |
| Corey Tronchin 25.03.2011 | Konig, if the template results in doing nothing, it could be one of these things: - you have added the template, but another template is active - make sure the imported template is the only one active for your X1 - make sure you remove the [c] and [d] parts of the IG mapping just to be sure - select the in- and output channel for the [a] and [b] parts of the IG mapping or to be safe, put it on 'all ports' for testing - check the midi-message that get's send when you press the buttons in midi mode. fastest way to do this in traktor is by adding a random function, select 'learn' and press the button you want the value off. you can check if it's the correct values by checking it with the scheme i've attached to this post. |
| Wilbur Siress 25.03.2011 | Im trying to get this mapping to work on my x1. I have the template loaded in the controller editor and the IG tsi loaded in on traktor yet the x1 dose nothing in midi mode. Am i missing something>? I have been believeing of a good use for the midi mode for a while now this would be perfect! |
| Corey Tronchin 25.03.2011 | I suppose so, since the delay was my effect on the top and on the right order it's beatmasher. but the again, why not sort on the "effect select" command in the mapping and choose the effects you desire yourself. Shouldn't be too hard to give it your own spin to it. @djclassc: I don't have a cam here right now, but following the instructions in this thread, it should be dead-easy to do this. Little update: I've updated the templates and corrected the channel-error, thanks to Padi for noticing it! |

| Corey Tronchin 25.03.2011 | @photojojo: thank you for the quick reply and believe it or not, but that actually worked like a charm! I had a search for the right post, for the people interested: http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...cts#post250009 After setting the order of the effects, you need to remove and re-import the IG mapping. Funny how that actually affects the whole mapping, quite sloppy work by NI I would say! |
| Nedra Fresneda 25.03.2011 | Must be the FX order since I'm getting the same issue with S4. There is a way to make this work with 4 decks but it will involve scarifying a modifier (making the top row switch from 0-3) and some heavy remapping. |
| Leeanna Ayla 25.03.2011 | Check the order of your FX in preferences. I believe that was discussed as having an affect on a mapping in a separate thread, but it was for something else. |
| Corey Tronchin 25.03.2011 | Hmm, sorry for that error. I've quickly switched to the 1-3 template, since my X-1 needed that 1 note shifted to give the right results. @fullenglishpint: I've taken the grid layout that fatlimey has posted and figured that if I match these notes in the editor, I can just use the IG mapping on it, since that one is using the same notes. I know it originally uses 4 banks, but then again, that's 1 bank per deck. since I only use 2 decks I can do with only 2 banks. For some reason though, I see all the effects get chosen and the combo's going off, but not with the right effects. the beatmasher is replaced with a delay effect. Is this because I use the Traktor Pro instead of the Traktor S4 software? Question: the second row from the bottom should be the beatmasher effect right? When I look at the mapping it says it will activate the delay. This is the original mapping from djtt. Does anybody know why? |
| Nedra Fresneda 25.03.2011 | The last button of the 2nd row (basic layer) points to Ch1 instead of Ch3. That should fix your problem. |
| Romelia Stankard 25.03.2011 | ok with both files loaded int controller editor in order on the list everything works except echo freeze on deck a. Any ideas? I would love to fix this, I would rather use my x1 than get a midi fighter and I only need 2 decks unless I wanted to use two X1s and rig them both to work on 4 |

| Romelia Stankard 26.03.2011 | ok got it working i believe. with the second one loaded i have the bottom 3x4 grid working but not the top what effects are supposed to be loaded? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 25.03.2011 | open controller editor and load the template. Then import the MF mapping. OP, Are you sure you mean Instant Grat and not deckalized? The IG requires 4 banks mode which the X1 can't do. I implimented this a while ago while I was waiting for delivery on my MF and it's good fun with the deckalized AB mapping. |
| Romelia Stankard 25.03.2011 | how do i get it to work? |
| Corey Tronchin 23.03.2011 | this IS for the midi mode. This is not a mapping in itself, just a template for the controller editor so when going to midi-mode on your Kontrol X1, you will have the buttons send out the same signal as the first two banks of the midifighter. That way, you can use the instant gratification mapping from DJ ranking s for deck A and B, without any hassle. Go to your Controller Editor and take a look at the manual to read how you can easily import the template and project it on your X1. |
| Anisa Fourte 22.03.2011 | So this is remapping the normal KX1? Personally I'd rather see this used in MidiMode so I can keep the functionality of the normal X1 mapping, which I happen to like. Still definitely goin' to try this out! Thanks for sharing! |
