Xone k2 and Traktor LED Issues
Xone k2 and Traktor LED Issues Posted on: 19.01.2013 by Shawn Vanhaitsma Recently purchased two Xone k2s, one being used for my Traktor Machine. While I have the setup pretty much the way I want, I am now working on LED output for feedback.Anyways, with more research I believe ive figured out how to do what I am seeking in two different ways (One requires I use modifiers) But Both are not functioning correctly at this point for some reason. For my FX selector, I have a button that cycles through the available FX i have activated (3 in my case).. So now I am trying to set an ouput with Effect 1 Selector -> Note(red) g#1 -> Controller Range: 1 - 1 Invert Blend Off Effect 1 Selector -> Note(orange) g#4 -> Controller Range: 2 - 2 Invert Blend Off Effect 1 Selector -> Note(Green) g#7 -> Controller Range: 3 - 3 Invert Blend Off LED is off on no effect, then it cycles to red, then to orange, but turns off again and doesnt set the led green. It cycles back to no effect, then goes on again for red orange etc.. For my efffect knob selector, I have a button that switches between knob 1 and 2 on the effect, this is affected by using modifiers to tell the encoder what effect knob to change. My goal was to change the color between Red and ORange based on which knob it was changing. I attempted this by Modifier 4 Out -> m4 = 0 -> Red Note -> Controller Range 0 0 Modifier 4 Out -> m4 = 1 -> Orange Note -> Controller Range 1 1 LEd glows red, push button light turns orange, and remains orange and wont go back to red... Ive also tried just leaving the controller range alone at 0 7... and 0 1 Any ideas or help is appreciated! Thanks | |

As it seems its a problem on the hardware level. |

| Cassie Sangermano 31.10.2013 | If all that script is doing is stopping the note off command from being sent, then you can do that with the free version of bomes (the classic version). I've gotta feeling it's doing other stuff as well though from looking at the log in the video.... I have a k2 so if I get chnace I'll have a play around with it. |

| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | I feel bad not to have one to test and see for myself... Can't believe we're still running circles here. |
| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Nope only controller, only USB device. And set to K2 for both in/out |
| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | Just to be sure, are your MIDI in/out ports set for K2 or to all ports? Also do you have other controllers connected? |
| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Take that back, the Red is no longer lighting up when on beat masher, but the orange and green do change up with Interface changes.. Geeesh |
| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Also just noticed.. if I change the FX via the interface on traktor, between the three, the LEDs light up correctly as they change them... just not if I use the button. And since theres nothing influencing the modifier change the color just which FX, then this could feasably be done with no modifier and just cycling the event selector (Off, red(fx1), oran)ge(fx2), green (fx3) ) Guess I just dont understand why the LEDs arent reacting c orrectly with a button push vs interface change Feels like The Xone is sending additional midi messages thats contradicting what I want the Feedback to do |
| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Yes I made a new device just mostly to test this feature The issue as of now is the LEDs just dont respond correctly. It will cycle off orange green, with that setup you see there. Ill keep working on it.. Youd believe a computer programmer wouldnt have such a hard time wrapping his head around this |
| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | Effect Selector output (G#1) has M1=1 as modifier condition - you should remove it. As for not workig in my mapping part it's something you should wrap on your own. Alternative would be to add new generic device and map in only this feature to overcome possibility of clashing modifiers. |
| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Just made a fresh mapping, so I can just mess around with this and send it over the community
s. I may have mis understood what you posted, so see if you see what I did wrong here. Im sure im just missing a few key concepts Whats wierd is when I tried doing this in a fresh mapping the increment loop on the modifier worked fine.. but in my other filled up mapping file it does not work correctly. Its driving me nuts HAH Thanks for all your help |
| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | I'm blind here mate. Maybe you should post your current settings so I can check it for you and see for issues. |

| Shawn Vanhaitsma 18.01.2013 | Ill ive that a try. Should that same concept work without using MOdifiers? (Just using the output led t follow Event selector) Is there a reason you go 0 2 0 3 0 4 on the controll ranges, at what point do you use individual ranges? 1 1 2 2 etc? At this point a simple modifier set to 1 or 0 on a button push.. wont set a certain button a color with a modifier out mapping... I must completely misunderstand the output part of this because its definately not working as it should be from the various other mappings ive looked at |
| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | I didn't change anything, in fact I made a quick mapping of my own. Had just loaded your mapping (xone 2D?), saw bunch of commands and deleted it. What I did was: Modifier 1 / button-inc Modifier 1 / modCon M1=2 / button-direct / value=0 Effect Selector / modCon M1=0 / button direct / value= first effect from list Effect Selector / modCon M1=1 / button direct / value= second effect from list Effect Selector / modCon M1=2 / button direct / value= third effect from list Effect Selector / 0 - 2 Effect Selector / 0 - 3 Effect Selector / 0 - 4 Hope this helps. |

| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | Wow, now that's whole mapping there, I was like only those few problematic commands to get idea what could be issue... However i made it working on my controller using both scenarios - mod output and effect selector output. |

| Jeffrey Akinsanya 18.01.2013 | maybe its the wrong note for green!? |
| Kellie Myrum 18.01.2013 | You say modifier don't does it for ya, how is it set? Can you upload tsi with only this effect selector button along with modifier? Maybe I could troubleshoot it from there. |
