X1MK3: Community Performance MOD (qml coding)

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

Latest Features: Additional Remix Deck controls, Stem/Remix Deck support (Superknobs), (optional) Browser Mode, expanded custom setup, screen feedback for every new feature, optional overmapping support (updated) for overlays.

As has been suggested elsewhere, the new X1MK3 was in need of some coding love.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Before applying any of the ideas and files i am hoping to collect in this thread, make sure to make a safety copy of the complete qml-folder of the Traktor software, so you have the original files as a fallback in case of, you know, failure.

After that, all the files contained in the archive replace the original files.

"If you enjoy any of these mods as much as i do, please consider supporting me." 🦋🎧

X1MK3: Community Performance MOD Version 11 TP 4.2.0 :

In addition, all new Mixer, FX and Setup function have Screen Feedback.
Easy Setup Access: Hold down MODE button for 1 second to re-enter the setup mode to select decks, FX units and custom feature toggles (see below) for the X1.

Customizable Features:

In the Preferences page of the X1MK3, the 'Browse Encoder' and 'Loop Encoder' sections are ignored if BrowserMode option is enabled.
Instead, the Setup Overlay (when you start/load the X1 mapping) can be accessed by holding the MODE button for 1 second and provides custom toggles on 3 setup pages you can cycle through by pressing the MODE button.

Deck Switch on Single Click (MODE Button): changes MODE Single-Tap to switching Decks, and setting MODE Double-Tap to switching FX-Layers.
Browser Mode On Single Click (SHIFT Button): Switches from Legacy X1 encoders to Browser Mode controls, accesible by Single-Tapping the SHIFT button.

Auto Switch-Off Cue Monitor: Makes it so that activating Cue Monitor for one Channel will deactivate it for the other three.
Block MIXER Overlay: blocks the Mixer Overlay completely, jumping only between FX overlays when using the MODE button.
FX Assignment Buttons Focus On FX Units: when this is active, the FX Assignment arrows (→/←) will focus on the FX Unit below, selecting deck A (←), B (→), C (SHIFT+←) and D (SHIFT+→).
Link Active FX Units To Active Decks: FX Unit combination will aways correspond to Deck combination (for example decks C/A will correspond to FX Units 3/1) even when switching decks.
Block Secondary FX Overlay: blocks the secondary FX Overlay completely, jumping only between the primary FX Overlay and Mixer Overlay when using the MODE button.

Custom Overmapping Modifier Condition: activates the optional overmapping modifier conditions for the three different Overlays to support custom overmapping (see below in the next section).
Switch MUTE/FX SEND (SHIFT Layer): Switches the MUTE and FX SEND layers in Stem/Remix Sample Overlay.
CueAndPlay (CUP) instead of CUE: Changes the functionality of the CUE button.

Custom Overmapping Support for all three overlays:

Note: This feature only works when activated (see above).
Switching Overlays (FX Overlay 1, FX Overlay 2, Mixer/STEM Overlay) will now also switch the value of Remix Deck A or Remix Deck B Sample Page Selector.
As long as Decks A & B are not actually Remix Decks, this has no consequences whatsover for the deck. You can use the value of the page as a modifier condition (sample page selector) to override the FX controls separately for each X1 overlay using overmapping assignments.

Modifier Condition 'Sample Page Selector' details:

Page 1 - FX overlay 1
Page 2 - FX overlay 2
Page 3 - Mixer overlay
Remix Deck A - Deck combinations A+B, A+C or C+A (Deck A must be involved)
Remix Deck B - Deck combinations C+D or B+D (Deck D must be involved)

Here is a (untested) qml mod for a simple BrowserView mod of the X1MK3 i cooked up.

Features:

Open BrowserView of the Traktor software by turning the Browser Encoder.
Close BrowserView of the Traktor software when a track is loaded.
Toggle BrowserView of the Traktor software by tapping the Shift Button.

Installation: Replace the file found here...

"...\Native Instruments\Traktor Pro 3\Resources64\qml\CSI\X1MK3\X1MK3.qml"

with this file:

X1MK3_SimpleBrowserViewV03.zip

Remember to make a safety copy of the qml folder first. Please test and give feedback, my controller hasn't arrived yet.

Note: this is the minimal version. I plan on an internal browse-mode with preview-player capabilites and whatever else you may find useful.

Edit1: For those who are interested, this is what i changed in the file:

line 103++

// Wire { from: "surface.shift"; to: DirectPropertyAdapter { path: mapping.propertiesPath + ".shift" } }

Browser { name: "browser" }

AppProperty { id: fullscreenBrowserProp; path:"app.traktor.browser.full_screen" }

AppProperty { path: "app.traktor.decks.1.is_loaded_signal"; onValueChanged: { fullscreenBrowserProp.value = false } }
AppProperty { path: "app.traktor.decks.2.is_loaded_signal"; onValueChanged: { fullscreenBrowserProp.value = false } }
AppProperty { path: "app.traktor.decks.3.is_loaded_signal"; onValueChanged: { fullscreenBrowserProp.value = false } }
AppProperty { path: "app.traktor.decks.4.is_loaded_signal"; onValueChanged: { fullscreenBrowserProp.value = false } }

Wire {
  from: "surface.shift"
  to: ButtonScriptAdapter {
    onPress: {
      shiftProp.value = true;
      holdShift_countdown.restart()
    }
    onRelease: {
      shiftProp.value = false;
      if ( (holdShift_countdown.running) && (deviceSetup.state == DeviceSetupState.assigned) ) {
        fullscreenBrowserProp.value = !fullscreenBrowserProp.value
        holdShift_countdown.stop()
      }
    }
  }
}

Timer { id: holdShift_countdown; interval: 200 }

Wire {
  enabled: (deviceSetup.state == DeviceSetupState.assigned)
  from: Or {
    inputs:
    [
      "surface.left.browse.is_turned",
      "surface.right.browse.is_turned"
    ]
  }
  to: SetPropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.browser.full_screen"; value: true }
}

Edit2: Adjusted so as not to toggle BrowserView when in Setup-Mode.

This sounds fantastic, thank you very much for the initiative.

What do you think of this configuration? It also opens automatically when you turn the encoders.

I'm going to try the one you shared and let you know.

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

My idea is to keep it as simple as possible and avoid as much as possible shift-layer functions. In short, a future BrowseMode should be triggered by simply pressing any of the two Browse Encoders. This would change the functions of both Browse Encoders and Loop Encoders until exiting BrowseMode again.

The Browse Encoders will provide the controls for Tree (shifted), Playlist scrolling and deck loading, while The Loop Encoders will provide the controls for going through the favorites and for loading and seeking through the preview player.

Also some indication on the screen to signify BrowseMode directly on the controller.

nachopenades · October 2023

Your project seems fantastic to me, it solves an important problem. And it's easy to use. Works perfect on all 4 decks.

Infinite thanks!!!!

Don't you want to update the picture? ^^

Yes, I updated the image from the original message ;)

Stevan · October 2023

Thanks for starting this thread!

I don't think I will be using those small screens to browse tracks on them but will definitely need your help with the customizing the screens when I have the X1 Mk3.

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/98093#Comment_98093

I think they are too small as well and wasn't going to try. BrowseMode is supposed to be a state that make the encoders have different functions (plus browser view in the software).

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/97972#Comment_97972

If you want i can still code the functionality of your picture (including encoder-turn = open browser view).

And a big thank you for my coffee; sure feels good to be appreciated. ❤️‍

My head is a little cloudy because I am sick in bed now, I thank you very much for your willingness. If you want we can talk later.

It has been a pleasure to invite you to a couple of coffees, they won't be the last, what you do is very useful for us.

Stevan · October 2023

@Sûlherokhh Is it possible to have the FX Knobs to output the Global Midi Knobs when the Mixer Page Is selected?

I have idea how to upgrade the mixer page functionality. Making that mapping on my X1 MK2 now.

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/98247#Comment_98247

Sure, there are eight buttons and eight knobs. If you want a 1 to 1 correspondence it's a short and straightforward piece of code in a single file.

Give this a try (still can't test myself) :

'...\Native Instruments\Traktor Pro 3\Resources64\qml\CSI\X1MK3\X1MK3FXSection.qml'

X1MK3FX_MidiKnobsAndButtonsV01.zip

Left row is Knobs/Buttons 1-4, right row is 5-8. 🦋

Edit: Do you want me to remove the original mixer controls (high-mid controls, volume, kill buttons and cue monitor) so that there are only the midi control elements when in mixer-overlay?

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/98238#Comment_98238

We got a noticable wave of infections in (at least) germany as well. Recently recovered myself from an incapacitating episode. Get well and be cared for... 🐭🌾🍁

Stevan · October 2023

I don't have the X1 Mk3 either. Not able to test it - just wondering if it is possible or not.

The original EQ knobs can go and the Volume knob can stay.

So only 6 Knobs and 6 buttons :)

Sûlherokhh · October 2023

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/98303#Comment_98303

FX overlay has the (default) colour Light Orange; pattern player has Mint; equalizer kill buttons and cue monitor has Blue. What colour do you want for the 6 MIDIbuttons (cue monitor would stay Blue, if you want)? I think picking a custom colour will override this, but i am not sure.

Also i will set MIDIknobs/buttons 1, 2 and 3 for decks A and C (left side), 4, 5 and 6 for decks B and D unless you would like a different combination.
