Controlling Pitch with Kontrol X1
Posted on: 25.03.2013 by Qiana Radigan
Hey DJTT,

Ill keep this short and sweet. Ive been looking into getting a new modular setup (featuring a mixer like a z2 or dnx1600) and it looks like ill be pulling the trigger on the z2. Quick question... If i add an x1 can I control the tempo faders? Yes yes i know i could midi map it but im looking for something simple, as Im useless at mapping outside of Ableton. I mix tracks with a wide bmp range per set (100-200 or so) so a pitch control is essential.

Help?

Thanks a lot you guys are always great.

If you like, I can send you my .tsi for the kontrol x1. It has all the controls for 2 decks: hot cues, sync, play, FX control, pitch, looping.
A tsi would be great, much appreciated.

26.03.2013		on my mapping the loop in/out buttons are the tempo controls.
p.s 1 or 2 x1's beside a mixer is a fantastic setup

25.03.2013		I just use the push encoder for loops so I got tempo buttons set so no shift are small 0.02 increments and shift tempo buttons are larger increments.

I also swapped beat jump buttons so they are bend then when shift pressed they are beat jump

25.03.2013		The standard mapping has buttons mapped to pitch control which move in ~0.02BPM increments at low tempo ranges. You could assign some knobs to do larger changes if you need.

25.03.2013		I can live with 0.07, thats still pretty good. the dn-sc2000 was another option I was looking at but would prefer the x1.
