X1MK3: Community Performance MOD (qml coding)

… and if I keylock and then change the tempo, it changes the pitch

Keylock OFF (GUI field shows a key symbol [🎵]) → Key changes with tempo.

Keylock ON (GUI field shows actual key [for example: 10d] with coloured background) → Key does not change with tempo, but can be adjusted up or down with the Loop encoder.

If you use the Legacy Encoders (by not using the mod's X1 browser mode), you can customize the X1 SHIFT+Loop Encoder (Preferences→X1 panel) to not change KEY but instead beatjump (loopsize) beats.

If i understand correctly, you often hold SHIFT and turn the Loop Encoder accidentally, yes? If this is true, you can block this by hand:

Delete your X1 mapping(s) in controller manager device list.
Manually load this mapping instead.

X1-EncoderBlock(SHIFT).tsi

This is what it looks like. The first assignment (SHIFT) has override unchecked, so the SHIFT button still works for every other function. The other four assignments (that do nothing at all) have override checked, so that they block the usual functions when SHIFT is held down.

Is this what you where looking for?

Note: This will also block the encoder when you are in browser mode, so you will not be able to scroll through favourites (SHIFT+RightLoopEncoder).

Oh no I loved the Browser mode, I can even preview without using mouse/keyboard which is amazing. But the mapping worked perfect!

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the increment with Shift + Track Encoders? Right now it's jumping 1 beat with each step, can I make it 4 so it jumps one bar each step?

And if there is a way to disable knobs so they don't affect the EQ in Traktor because I am using external mixer, I tried disabling Mixer Overlay button however that also restricts me from using stems, which I found the mapping was perfect for my workflow.

Glad you like it.

If you want to jump by 4, set loop size to 4 with the loop encoder. Then use the browse encoder without shift.

Default shift+browse encoder is move by 1 beat so users can correct phrasing (and loops) easily.

You can go into the code to change this, but you would have to apply this change every time anew with every update. Here is how:

Open the file '…\Native Instruments\Traktor Pro 4\Resources64\qml\CSI\X1MK3\X1MK3Deck.qml' and go to line 1125:

Wire { enabled: module.shift; from: "%surface%.browse"; to: "loop.one_beat_move"; }

Replace that line with the following lines:

// Wire { enabled: module.shift; from: "%surface%.browse"; to: "loop.one_beat_move"; }
WiresGroup {
  enabled: module.shift
  Wire { from: "%surface%.browse.is_turned"; to: SetPropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.decks." + module.deckIdx + ".move.size"; value: 8 } } // Move Size = 4
  Wire { from: "%surface%.browse.is_turned"; to: SetPropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.decks." + module.deckIdx + ".move.mode"; value: 0 } enabled: !inActiveLoopProp.value } // Mode: Beatjump when not in Active Loop
  Wire { from: "%surface%.browse.is_turned"; to: SetPropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.decks." + module.deckIdx + ".move.mode"; value: 1 } enabled: inActiveLoopProp.value } // Mode: Move Loop when in Active Loop
  Wire { from: "%surface%.browse.turn"; to: RelativePropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.decks." + module.deckIdx + ".move_internal"; step: 1; mode: RelativeMode.Stepped } } // Move command
  Wire { from: "%surface%.browse.push"; to: TogglePropertyAdapter { path: "app.traktor.decks." + module.deckIdx + ".loop.active" } } // Toggle Loop Active
}

It's a lot longer because there is no dedicated command for both jumping 4 beats and toggling Loop Active.

Info: the 'move.size' value directly corresponds to the values in the advanced deck layout move section.

It goes from '0' (xFine or 1/64 beat) over '6' (1 beat) to '12' ('LoopSize' beats), which is why the value '8' corresponds to 4 beats.

Not if you want to use the stem controls. You just have to get used to not using the knobs when stem overlay is not active. Much like not using the PLAY button when your track is on-air.

But you can deactive the equalizers in Traktor by unchecking a few boxes:

Thanks for the reply, it takes a bit of time to get used to it and I need to be fast because adjusting the loop size is also adjusting the active loop size, so if I have 2 bars loop and I want to shift it 1 bar, I first halve it then use encoders to shift however with the code you provided, it shifts one bar which is exactly what I wanted, so thanks!

Also disabling those checkboxes also exactly what I needed, thanks again!
