Using Two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 Units Simultaneously

With TRAKTOR PRO 2/TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2, things really get interesting as four
Decks and effects are available:
▪ For TRAKTOR PRO 2 versions, two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units are required to con-
trol all of TRAKTOR PRO 2's four available Decks and effects simultaneously.
▪ Plug and play functionality allows you to simply connect the second TRAKTOR KON-
TROL X1 unit and it's instantly ready for use.
▪ Two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units' modes may also be mixed, with one unit control-
ling TRAKTOR PRO 2 natively and the other controlling another hardware or software
device in MIDI mode.
▪ Two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units may operate in MIDI mode and at any time be
switched back to native TRAKTOR mode.
Two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 Unit Mappings in TRAKTOR
In TRAKTOR, each TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 unit is identified by its serial number.
▪ Whichever configuration is selected in the TRAKTOR
panel, that configuration will persist.
Default Setups
▪ You can label your TRAKTOR KONTROL X1s (e.g. "Left" and "Right"). Every time you
connect the two TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units and start TRAKTOR, that configuration
will correspond to the same physical TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units.
For example if you select A+B / C+D in the
cal TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 will always control TRAKTOR Decks A+B and the second
physical TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 will control Decks C+D.
Linking the TRAKTOR mappings to identified hardware allows customized mappings and
configurations to be restored regardless of which order the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 units
are connected to your computer over USB.
Additionally TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 modes may be mixed across two different units. For
example, one TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 can be controlling TRAKTOR in native NHL mode
while a second TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 controls another software device in MIDI mode.
