Tópico: Traktor Z1 and X1 mk3 stems mapping
I have both the Z1 and the X1 mk3 and they work well for switching between EQ and Stems, but what I would like to happen

- The Z1 treble/mid/low knobs to keep doing EQ,
- The X1 mk3 knobs to be able to switch between stems and effects/mixer like they do now
- The X1 mk3 switching between mixer/stems/effects to have no bearing on what the Z1 knobs do

At the moment if switch it on the X1 mk3 then the knobs on the Z1 also change. So if the X1 is pointing to Stems, then the Z1 changes to stems as well. I'm using the EZRemix functionality with the standard VDJ setup for the Z1 and X1 mk3, but maybe I need to use the default (EQ) and somehow map the X1 mk3 separately. Any ideas?

Z1 append the eq scripts with _freq
eg
eq_high_freq
 
Thank you - they already have that, and it all changes when the X1 mk3 goes from EQ to Stems.
 
I checked again.. missed the _freq bit and it works perfectly!

Really appreciate this, it was driving me crazy. Thanks

Hm, no.
I guess you didn't understand what you were proposed to do:

Your "HI" eq knob should be mapped as eq_high by default on Kontrol Z1
You were asked to change it to eq_high_freq
The difference between the 2 scripts is that eq_high will take into account the STEMS configuration (eq mode) while eq_high_freq will ALWAYS control the frequency equalizer.

Edit:
It seems you figured it out.. Cool!
 
Am I adjusting the wrong thing here? The only mention of high_eq is "high_eq_slider", and changing that to "high_eq_freq" doesn't seem to have any effect. The Z1 still switches modes when the X1 does. Is it not possible to disable that functionality and have them both be able to switch modes independently, as they do in Traktor Pro?
 
Are you sure you used the correct names ?
It should be eq_high_freq

The rest of the script is there just in order to control what the screen shows

What I mean is that I didn't see "eq_high" in the default mapping. Mine had "eq_high_slider" and appending that to "eq_high_freq" didn't seem to do the trick.

I also just realized, I put "Z1" in my post but I had the Z1 MK2

I'm curious if the newest release could be adding further independent control as well, though I am on Windows:
- Fix for screens when Traktor X1 MK3 and Z1 MKII are used together on mac
 
The controls are independent.
EQ_MODE though is a global setting that affects the program itself and ALL connected controllers.

If you want to have stems and frequencies available both at the same time then

1) You need to decide which controller will handle frequencies and which stems. You will not be able to change that "on the fly"
2) You need to put the entire system to "stems mode" This means that both controllers (and the skin) will show and manipulate stems.
3) You will remap either eq_high or eq_high_slider to eq_high_freq only on the controller you want to control frequencies instead of stems.
You will need to do the same for eq_mid and eq_low
As a first step do not try to be smart. Just REPLACE the strings
For Z1MK2 the EQ_HI key should become:
eq_high_freq & set 'Z1MK2LastKnob' 2 & (set 'Z1MK2DisplayEQ' 3 & repeat_start 'EQDisplayOff' 1000ms 5 & var_equal 'Z1MK2DisplayEQ' 0 ? repeat_stop 'EQDisplayOff' : cycle 'Z1MK2DisplayEQ' -5)

As I said, a simple replacement.

PS: The screen on Z1 MK2 is skinnable, but the skin is hardcoded to follow the system's mode of operation.
This means that despite that your knobs will control the EQ Frequencies, the display will say/show stems..
In order to change that you'll need to also edit the skin of the screens.
It's not really a hard thing to do, but don't try to run before you can walk..
If you're struggling with just changing this script according to the instructions provided, then changing the skin can be a challenge..
