getting LED working on the newer NI controllers (X1 MKII/Z1)

I'm using my Ni Kontroller X1MK2 when I play gigs where there are CDJ 2000 + DJM mixers in HID mode for extra controls like hot cues, auto loop, FX and tempo sync. At home I have the X1 + Z1 hocked up to my Download computer, every function works perfect even have the touch strip mapped for pitch bend half for deck a other half for deck b. But for some reason I never got the MIDI out working with these 2 controllers and it's annoying not to get visual feedback from them. I've been thinking of getting the DDJ SP1 for gigs I use HID but I'm also going to get the DDJ SZ so it's just a little to mush money to spend right now.
I've been trying and trying to make the MIDI out work then gave up started again some weeks later only to give up again. this bass been going on for 1/2 a year now and driving me crazy.
My question is are there any other users that have one of the two X1 MK2 or Z1 that have got MIDI out working and can help me out in the right direction.
