Z1 MK2 - Decks C&A/B&2 options?

Ryan0751 · 2025-06-03T22:40:39+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I got 2 of the Z1 MK2s for when I want a portable setup (I typically use a Xone 96, but sometimes you want small and modular).

I am disappointed to see the deck select options are limited to: A&B and C&D.

I always use a deck ordering of: C A B D

It doesn't appear there's a way to do this right now with the default settings.

Or did I miss it? Possible future upgrade?

I managed to get this to work by just modifying the QML files as-per the attached diff.

It was really just changing the deck index values to go from "AB→CA" and "CD→BD" in the Deck Assignments, and then in the FX assignments file.

I initially tried to change the variable names (DeckAssignments.AB, etc.), but that broke things.

Of course this limits you to going from CA→BD and back (you can't select the other combos, like AB→CD anymore).

Z1 is missing the setup mode the X1 has. One could, with a bit of work, replicate the X1 options. This would require expansion of a slew of files. You can take a peek in the X1 files and compare them with the Z1 files in the qml folder.

I don't think there will be an official update for the device.
