Controlling TRAKTOR 2's Track Decks and Sample Decks with two X1s

This article describes how to set up one KONTROL X1 to control the Track Decks and a second KONTROL X1 to control the Sample Decks in TRAKTOR 2.

1. Go to the Decks section in the TRAKTOR preferences. Under Deck Flavor, choose Sample Deck for the decks C and D.
   
2. Go to the Controller Manager section. Open the Device drop-down menu and check if it contains an entry named 'Traktor.Kontrol X1'.
   

   Note: If there is no X1-entry or if the menu contains more than one X1-entry, go to the Traktor Kontrol X1 section in the preferences and click on the button Restore in the Restore Default area. This will delete all X1 mappings and load a new default X1 mapping. Make sure you backup any custom mappings you created before.
   

3. In the Controller Manager, click the Add... button below the Device menu and choose Import.
4. Browse to ... > Default Settings > Controller > Native Instruments and choose the file "_02 - Controller - Native Instruments - X1 Addon Mapping.tsi".
5. Open the Device menu again. There should be two X1-entries now: 'Traktor.Kontrol X1' and 'Sample Deck X1 Mapping'.
   
6. Click on 'Traktor.Kontrol X1'. Then open the menu In-Port and choose the first of the two X1 ports in the list.
   
7. Go to the Device menu again and choose 'Sample Deck X1 Mapping'. Then go to the In-Port menu again and select the second X1 port in the list.
