Tips on running 2 Xone 1ds
Posted on: 31.08.2010 by Alta Corea
I bought another Xone 1d and was wanting to know any tricks or tips when mapping a 2nd midi controller in my set up.

Traktor Pro 1.2.6

Agreed - I got my fist turntables in 1990 and always hated the thought of digital dj'ing when it came along - but now I love it

Correct?
Yeah thats how it was in traktor 1.1 but I believe in the latest versions you have both your 1D's in the controller manager list - never done it that way though :/

@photojojo - I was gonna go for the S4 as well, but I believe now I'm gonna get 2 of the new Denon DNSC2000's and a proper mixer as well for my home set up.
Keep my vci for ease of portability.

I kept catching myself believeing about how easy it is to set a loop to extend a track so it would break correctly for the next track to begin. I was catching myself running out of tracks. But it was still a fun get together.

If I don't get this new S4 I believe it'll be two some combination of 1D's, X1's and a Denon DNX1600.

I mapped my mates set up and he has 2 1D's.
But it was in an older version of traktor ages ago - I had to change the midi channel on one of them, which you do just once when you power it up - tells you how in the manual.

But I believe with the newer versions of traktor you just do like that tutorial.

By the way - 2 1D's works really well - he has a xone 62 and traktor scratch - so uses the jogs for browser selection, the top encoders for fx and the smaller buttons for loops / cues - nice set-up.
