My Xone DX TSI

So, here's my tsi file written for Traktor Pro v1.2.6 and the Xone DX.

AntmaN TSI v1.2 with overlay.

There`s a few minor tweaks, and I've written it from scratch, so the bugs in the other maps should be squashed.

I played a 6 hour set on it last night with no problems, although I did make a few small changes today.



Notes:

I use the booth output at some gigs, so it is set up as intended. I know some people have mapped that knob to cue mix. Change it if you like.

This map is for 2 FX units only (Advanced or Chained). The DX is obviously designed to run with 2 FX and any workarounds to get 4 going were getting ugly.

The Split Cue button can be thought of as a 3rd Shift button for the mixer and Preview Player.

Gain knobs control deck filters in my map. Hold Split Cue down (Mixer shift) to make them control gain.

The X Fader does Cue Mix when holding down Split Cue (Mixer Shift). I mix house and rarely use the X Fader, so I may end up reversing this.

Pressing the FX Encoder puts the encoder into FX Select Mode. To indicate this, the shift LED is lit (Red and Green layers). I tried to make all 4 FX switch lights come on instead, but had problems getting them back to their previous state with the 'Send Monitor State' command. I wish there was a generic 'wait' command in Traktor.

I could find no real use for the push function of the loop encoder. For now it does nothing. Suggestions are welcome.

When switching either deck to the red layer (decks C or D) the GUI automatically goes into 4 deck view.

I've used the pitch leds to show phase sync instead of pitch. I can read the pitch on the player, and I like that if it's blue, it's all good

I also like to use the preview player for a quick way to listen to new tracks that I've just bought and aren't familiar with. Again the 'Split Cue' shifts any (all) of the decks' play, cue and jog into the controls for the preview player whilst held down.

I've also provided an overlay in pdf format, which I suggest you have a look at before you use the map. Excuse the dodgy artwork for the transport, which is missing from A&H's download. I might fix this up when I have time.



Righto. That's done, now let's all go make some music...

 

This looks pretty impressive.

Definitely looking forward to trying this out.

 

It seems I can't edit my post, but where I wrote,

'When switching either deck to the red layer (decks C or D) the GUI automatically goes into 4 deck view.'

I actually meant the GREEN layer. Red layers are decks A & B.

 

Hi ANT did you have any joy with the levels in your mapping? Im using the A+H mapping just now and the level lights are pretty much always bordering in the red, although I am really not amplifying the eq's or effects much.. Any ideas mate?

 

No joy at all.

I can tell you that the channel meters are taking their level from Traktor via CC and so that's a software issue, but the main output meters are not MIDI controlled at all. They monitor outputs 1 & 2 from the audio interface PRE FADER. I have pointed out on the xone forums that this is not ideal, and requested a fix in the next firmware update, as well as faster weighting on them. We'll see what happens next
