Mapping to swap X1 control between decks?

    Hi, I have an X1 and I'd like to be able to swap its control of decks A+B or C+D on the fly. For example, hit a button on the X1 or a key on my keyboard and the X1 will change between controlling A+B and then C+D. Kind of like you can do on the S4. I looked through the Controller Manager options but couldn't find this anywhere. Does anybody have any ideas?

    (I have an S4, but I'm spending more time doing "traditional DJ'ing" now with CDJs & sometimes Traktor Scratch so bringing the S4 to gigs and fitting into already cramped DJ booths is kind of cumbersome.)

    That'll give you a midi mode to control decks C&D.


    I've tried to work out a way to toggle with a modifier between decks A&B and C&D. You can add another X1, and then from the edit menu hit 'A B > C D' to make it control the last 2 decks, but from there on out you need to add a modifier condition to every single assignment on both mapping pages, and unfortunately the CUP light flashing to the BPM already uses 2, so you'll lose that.

    But it's doable!
    Just needs you to invest a good 10-20 minutes to set it up

    Hi psynapse, thanks for the reply. I started making my own MIDI mapping for C&D when I came across that Hotcue limitation. Kind of a bummer. I'll give yours a shot, thanks!
