Kontrol X1 Mk2 - MIDI Settings for Loop Length LED Display

DJ Hardware

Hi James,
I followed your guide for X1 MK2 Loop Length LED in djay Pro. I have set up IAC Driver and Bome ports correctly, but stuck at creating the Update Display translators (Rules keep turning red).
Could you please send me your Bome project file (.bmtp).
Thank you very much! This is my email.

Hi Salem,

No problem mate, Iā€™ve just sent it to your email address.

Good luck with it!

Cheers

Holy crap! What you created is seriously amazing ā€” it doesnā€™t lose to the default driver at all, itā€™s straight-up peak, bro

Hi Salem,

It sounds like you got it working then?? :grinning_face:

Thank you for your kind words mate, itā€™s not perfect but it works 95% which is enough for 99% of my workflow. Letā€™s be honest, most of the time youā€™re setting a 1-32 beat loop maximum, am I right?

What I DO think is cool is the ā€œBrucieā€™s Bonusā€ of the Touch Auto-Expand/Collapse for the Library view.

As with the LED display, it needs a combination of Bome and Djay working with the X1s due to the nuances of the MIDI channels used for the MIDI commands.

All the best

James

Hi guys, is everything okay? So the mapping works now, can I just import it or do I need to install bome and other stuff?

Hi Luca,

The mapping works great, but if you want to get the LED display and Loop Length Encoder knobs to work then you will need to use the Bome method I described.

I can supply you the Bome project file to make things easier after you do the first steps listed above, itā€™s up to you.

Cheers

James

A littlebit OT, but still about the (awesome) X1 mk2.

I am wondering if anyone was able to have the touchstrip split in 2 equal parts to control both decks at the same time? (like the default HID Traktor mode works).

Iā€™m not even sure this is possible in MIDI mode?

My MIDI mapping uses the fx1/fx2 on/off buttons (the tiny square ones) to pitchbend up/down for each deck, but normally in Traktor I would use the touch strip to do this, and Iā€™d like to re-use the fx buttons for other purposes.

cheers!
