Xone K2 Traktor Pro

The Allen & Heath Xone:K2 is a hugely flexible controller and audio interface, sporting plenty of buttons, sliders and encoders, as well as multiple MIDI layers. Perfect for TRAKTOR, then. With this hardware and the Xone:K2 Basic 2Decks + 2 FX Units mapping, you’re ready to mix on an ultra compact controller. Xone:K2 is a universal MIDI controller and is perfect for use with any DJ software, such as Traktor Pro, Ableton, Virtual DJ, PCDJ and MixVibes. Xone:K2 can even be used to control lights or VJ software. If it can receive MIDI data, it can take commands from K2. Jun 22, 2012  Hi DirtyNerd. I love your mapping for the xone k2 I find it very useful. I would like to suggest a modified version of it if you'd allow me. We can keep the same mappings for the bottom switches and for the two middle rows of knobs and faders (currently assigned to deck A&B). Xone:K2は、Ableton、Virtual DJ、MixVibes、Mixx、Traktor ProなどのDJソフトウェアで使用できるコンパクトなデザインのMIDIコントローラーです。 Xone:K2は、照明やVJソフトウェアのコントロールにも使用できます。. Four decks and two effect units are mapped to two side Xone K2 connected to a central Xone K2 via Xlink, on which the internal Traktor mixer is mapped. The central Xone K2 is connected via USB to the computer and it provide the audio IF for monitor out and master out. The two side K2 can be replaced with the newest, cheaper, and MIDI only Xone K1.

May 15, 2012  While larger than the Kontrol X1, the Xone:K2 incorporates more controls and is still built specifically to fit in the DJ booth alongside a pro DJ mixer. It’s roughly the same depth as Allen & Heath’s flagship DB2 and DB4 mixers. The K2 comes with a durably-padded, zippered black carrying case that doubles as a stand. Mar 13, 2015  I am the owner of a Xone 42 and Xone K2. I want to use my external soundcard and not the soundcard of the K2. Unfortunately it doenst work with Traktor Pro. When I select my soundcard and the K2 is connected, Traktor is not able to play tracks. I tried ASIO4all but this also does not fix the problem. Also disabling the Xone K2 audio driver did.

Xone K2 Traktor Pro 2

  • Hey all I posted a while back about this and was asked to supply some more info, so here I am 🙂

    I am hoping someone could shed some light on this issue.

    I recently purchased a A&H Xone K2 midi controller and I am using it with Traktor 2. I was using it with version 2.01 but I am now using it with the latest version and the problem has persisted. Basically, whenever I am using it for a long period of time, say over 30 mins, the controller will randomly lock up, the controls will no longer work and a horrible distorted buzzing sound replaces the music. All the decks in Traktor stop dead at the exact point this happens. This is obviously not good for playing out. If I then disconnect the USB and reconnect it a couple of times, it suddenly jumps back to life exactly where it has frozen and the tracks start playing again.

    Do you think I may have a faulty unit? Any advice would be much appreciated. Here are my specs:

    Laptop: Sony Vaio with Windows 7 64bit os
    Processor: Intel Core i3 CPU M370 2.40 GHz
    RAM: 4.00 GB
    Traktor Pro 2 version 2.6
    Xone K2 USB ASIO drivers

    Thanks in advance for any help – if i should supply any more info let me know 🙂

    I have exactly this same problem, it doesn’t happen all the time, sometimes works for 8 hours + other times it crashes after 20 minutes……………… I use Traktor 2.4 and a sony Vaio i7.

    I presumed it was a Traktor issue and not controller based……………

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem now! Do you fix this problem?

    Fabrizio: I would have first said that you should check if there is a firmware update for the mixer. Then make sure that you have updated the drivers etc. and Traktor as well.

    Once you have done that, are you in a hot room? Is your laptop overheating and/or maxing out it’s CPU? Are the drivers causing Traktor to crash if they are a bit buggy?

    strictyt – did you ever find a solution? Just noticed that the thread is over 2 years old now. Universal audio vst download.

    I have exactly same problem with my K2 here…. any idea what can that be caused by?

Xone K2 Traktor Pro 1

Q:
I just bought the XONE:4D and I'm curious if there any pre-set mappings for Traktor Scratch Pro?
I'm pretty new to all this and am a little overwhelmed.

A:
There are many different ways to configure the XONE:4D and Traktor Pro, a lot depends on how you plan to combine the two and what media format/s you plan to use, so if you're new to XONE:D Series mixers, or Traktor, we'd suggest using the A&H Traktor Pro .tsi configuration files to get you up and running.
Xone K2 Traktor ProThese are available via the XONE:4DDocuments links HERE
Download the Xone:4D Overlays Traktor Pro Maps .zip file

The .zip file download contains two pre-configured maps for Traktor Pro, together with documentation outlining how the various software parameters are assigned to different XONE:4D MIDI controls and how the different 'modifier' states are enabled. The .zip file also includes graphics files in diferent formats; a .pdf for visual reference, as well as Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator files to print for use as overlays if you decide to stick with our maps, or to use as templates for editing if want to use our layouts with your own custom map.
If you use a PC, you can choose to import all options in the files; this will configure the XONE:4D soundcard routing for 4 Deck, Internal Playback, of digital audio files direct to the four mix channels on the
XONE:4D.
If you use OSX, or plan to use time encoded vinyl/CDs as part of your setup, you will need to configure some of the audio options manually, as outlined in the product user guides.

More info on configuring Traktor with
XONE:D Series interfaces is also available in video tutorials on the
Allen&Heath YouTube channel HERE
You should also check the Native Instruments website, Traktor forums, Traktor Pro User Guide, or, alternatively, it's also worth checking out R. G. Haselier's Traktor Bible for in depth information on setting up Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro; this extensive guide references the XONE:4D in many application examples and is well worth investigating if you want to get the most from this particular digital DJ application.

Please note that the A&H Traktor maps are designed to enable you to start using the two products, though they are by no means the definitive way to use the mixer, or software.
However, these maps can be modified to accommodate your own personal preferences and re-saved as new files, so you can use them as a starting point for customized maps, or until you're more familiar with the products.
We hope this helps.
