How to install X1 on MacBook M1? Will it even work?

lord-carlos

The first x1? (mk1)

It's no longer supported. But someone made a hack for it to work again.

no I'm interested in X1 mk2

That one should still work as far as I know.

Shows the x1 mk2 supported with native silicon and mac os 14.

Does this work on a MacBook Pro M1 with ventura?

Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk2 works with Apple Silicon. Have two of them connected to my MacBook Pro M3 Max.

I'll expect them to work with Apple Silicon and Ventura as well, but as my MacBook came with Sonoma preinstalled I haven't tried. On my previous MacBook with Intel-Chip they worked with Venture without issues.

yah man, but the mk2 is still supported, it’s a plug and play unit. I have the mk1, by far the best x1 version still, dunno why it’s that hard to keep it working.

Use the mod made by Opa for the mk1.

There is one on the github: https://github.com/Opa-/x1-mk1-usb2midi?tab=readme-ov-file#install-macos

If you are stuck at a specific step let us know where. Then we don't need to write every single thing again.
