Xone:K3 Official Support

Thanks for sharing @paul_calver. I’m pretty used to using layers with my custom MIDI mappings so I think one K3 will probably suit my typical workflow. Keep in mind, if you trade the Mixtour Pro for a 3rd K3, you will need to add an audio interface for master output and headphone pre-cueing.

Yeah the audio interface .. that’d be the step I’d forget until I plugged everything in .. and … DOH! Haha

Hopefully they’ll release a version of the K3 with a built in audio interface soon.

Yeah that’d be great timing for me . The TE KO sidekick may be an option.but I’ll wait a bit methinks!

I’ve got my eye on the TE KO sidekick as well actually!

Did you pull trigger on the sidekick ?

I’m enjoying the K3s in conjunction with Mixtour pro.

Set up was a snap and I’m finding I can stay in flow longer as menu diving was slowing me down as haven’t developed the muscle memory yet. That’s a me thing!

No yet. Probably in another week or two I think.

Hi, can I ask you if you had to set the 2 K3 on different MIDI channels when connecting them via usb-c? I’m having some kind of trouble… if I connect the 2 K3s to my iPad, Djay Pro keeps seeing them both on channel 15, even if I change it in hardware, even if I change the XML, even if I use my custom mappings. I made mappings using PC and then copied them into the iPad. How is the correct procedure? I want to use 1 K3 for Deck1 and the other for Deck2. Thanks!

Hiya! I have just used the default mapping setting the layer on each k3 to match the deck.

All worked - but I did have to update firmware on one of the k3’s first.

Haven’t had to fiddle with midi the default setup Works for my needs at the moment

hi Im new here! i just bought this awesome device and just wondering, if you are to map the crossfader to one of the buttons, which layer and button is the best map it too? thanks!

Hi @ExposedInfinity, welcome to the Community! Can you please provide more detail on what you want to achieve with the Crossfader mapping? You would not normally map this type of control to a single button.

hi thanks for the reply. i realize now as a beginner the most i need is 2 decks and the 3rd fader works as a crossfader. I mainly want to use the Cross FX.

You’re welcome @ExposedInfinity. Yes, I think that a better idea to map an up fader to the crossfader rather than a button.
