Kontrol X1 mk1, OSX 11, Traktor Pro 3 Set UP

ollydj

Following an up grade last week where I stepped up my 2015 Mac Book Pro I7 16gb from El Capitan to Big Sur to enable me to run Traktor Pro 3, I was able to get my Audio 8 and the time code working again all be it some intermittent drop outs. However the next hurdle I have hit is that I cannot for the life of me get my Mk1 X1 to work with Traktor PRO 3 and Big Sur. I know this all to do with the 32bit / 64bit configuration and drivers not installing etc. However I am just reaching out to any one who may have over come this issue with the Big Sur OS? I have seen a few work arounds for Monterey but nothing for Big Sur. Can any one help?

TIA

@Patch thanks, I did come across this thread and tried the work around, however had no success. Really starting to think that X1Mk2 is the only way to go and maybe Audio 6 to cure the Audio drop outs. Such a shame as my X1mk1 worked perfectly fine before I was forced into upgrading to Traktor Pro 3 due to an unsuccessful down grade of the OS and reinstall of Traktor Pro 2.

What part did not work? Maybe @Opa can help.

@lord-carlos i downloaded the stuff from the link provided and tried to install but couldn’t get it to work. Maybe it’s because my OS is Big Sur? I would appreciate it if @Opa could shed some light on the situation?

"but couldn’t get it to work" Ehhh. What is the first step that does not work? Come on, we need details.

Did you get a icon like this?

ollydj

Nope nothing, I’m assuming by opening the TSI file/ icon something should happen right? Or am I simply not opening the correct folder to install it?

Patch

You don't open the .tsi, mate. You import it into Traktors preferences in the controller manager tab…

ollydj

@Patch yep figured that one out mate and I can see it in Controller Manager. I just don’t know what else I have to do now to get it working?

ollydj

So this is what I get if I want to run the app?

Patch

So you need to update your OS.

installed on my Home Office 2017 Imac Running OSX 13 Ventura and it’s working soundly 👍 Simple when you know how.

I will update the OS on my Mac book and all should be well.
