Problem with my hybrid setup 2 x Xone K2 / Mixer PX5/ Tractor Pro Plus 3.8 & 3.9 and My MacBook Pro
Still I have a problem with the problem of „freezing” K2 when I’m playing without any signals.
Traktor PRo + version 3.8 and 3.9
What is most important :
· Left K2 is on a channel 1 – turn off latching layers
· Right K2 is on a channel 21 – turn off latching layers
· Xone Px 5 is standard at channel 16.
What I Already tested or made. .
· 1st connection: The 2 units of K2 are connected with X link cable direct to PX5 and PX5 direct to USB port on MAC
· 2nd connection: The 2 units of K2 are connected with X link cable direct to PX5 + form left K2 by USB cable to mac and PX5 direct by USB port on MAC
· 3rd connection: The 2 units of K2 are connected with X link cable + left K2 are connected by USB cable to MC – there is no connection by K2 and Px5. Mixer PX5 is separate direct to USB port on MAC
· 4 connection – The 2 units of K2 are connected with X link cable direct to PX5 and Px5 direct t o USB port on MAC, and both k2 are connect by USB to power supply
As well, I have made steps in power on all system in 2 ways :
· 1st way – power on Mixer with K2 and after I'm turning on Mac and tractor
· 2nd way – power on Mac and after t the px5
In all of this connections like in a jeopardy – I do not know when they will go in frezz mode – it can be after 5 min it can be at 45 minis of playing and even after 2 or 3 hours.
Regarding my test, the K2 gone form a freezing mode without nay suptoms – they just go. All LEDs are flashing, but I can't control the tractor. – but buy computer mouse or touchpad I can !!
You can see it on the videos.
As well, I made a test by 2 midi apps Midi Monitor, and MidiView - where they didn’t show me any error in midi signal or any warnings when K2 are going to frezz mode.
About the Mac – I use MacBook pro – 15 inc mid 2014 processor 2,5 GHZ - I7 with 16 GB ram – system is macOS Big Sur version 11.7.7
– I still have a problem with setup and frezing K2
The Xoen told me than my map is ok without any bugs
ANy idea how to solve

Have you tried without any X link?

X-Link is what I advise for multiple K2's (1st K2 = USB, 2nd K2 = LINK). I don't advise connection K2's via the mixer X-Link though.

Nope, your second K2 should be plugged into the first K2 via the X-Link.

K2 has issues with Google Chrome even. And I don't think this is Traktor issue.
Try closing all except Traktor and also disconnect the PX5.
Also worth noting is that MIDI configuration is corrupted (inside Midi Studio on your mac) so you can also try with a fresh config.

If that doesn't change a thing then, connect a single K2 and test.
If you don't have issue after this, then it could be a power issue.
