Traktor x1 and Cross.

I bought the Traktor x1 controller. But Im having a hard time to get it to hook up with cross1.5.4 and all the other Cross editions.
J kut has made a MIDI map and I have tried to unzip it and import it into Cross via the "file/preferences/MIDI"
The icon displayed in the "MIDI" is a crossicon with the text traktor 1.50
But I get no reaction whatsoever from the controller.
Any ideas??

Hey,

when you push a button on the MIDI device is at Cross under MIDI preferences the name of the device green flashing? This shows that MIDI input is recieved.

Hi,

yeah, that´s basically my bad (or NI´s shitty Manual)
You have to set the X1 to midi-mode.
To do so you just have to hold down the "shift" + "MIDI" buttons, until one of them turns green.
Then it´s in midi-mode and will work fine.

p.s. I´m not using the x1 much currently, but expect a mapping for 1.6 within the next month ;)

no green lights flashing..... but in the top of the MIDI pop up it says online in green....
behind all other midicontrollers in the pop up theres a padlock in grey, but not behind traktor

mkay, that´s odd.

1: which version of Cross?
2: have you changed anything in the X1´s controller-editor?

I´m pretty shure i used the default configuration for this mapping....

cheers

No havent modified anything but I was in Cross 1.6 :redface:
But now in 1.5.4 and I can now get the right deck to browse and load, and loop.
the browsing doesnt work on my left deck :(

Cant seem to get the effects either to work.....
