Xone 23c Traktor Pro
The Allen & Heath Xone:43C is a 4+1 channel DJ mixer. It comes equipped with four fully-featured phono, USB and line 3-band EQ channels, a flexible mix/aux input with XLR and phono connectors with 2-band EQ. The innofader-compatible crossfader has three curve settings and each channel can be routed through an Allen & Heath filter with 3 settings.
May 10, 2018 The new version brings compatibility with Pioneer DJ’s DJM-TOUR1, DJM-750MK2, DJM-450 and DJM250MK2 mixers, as well as Allen & Heath’s Xone:DB2, DB4, 43C, 23C mixers. These mixers are also now Traktor Scratch Certified, meaning you can use them with Traktor Scratch Pro 2’s DVS for spinning with timecode vinyl. This is an example of getting a Xone:DB4 (uncertified mixer) to work with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 on Windows. Instead of editing the application itself as done in Mac OS, the same can be accomplished on Windows through modifications in the Windows registry.
How to Enable Traktor Timecode for Uncertified Mixers
The instructions and videos below are for Traktor versions older than 2.9.0. For Traktor versions 2.9.0 and newer, contact me at for special instructions – it still works, but different method.
Under normal conditions, your sound card or mixer must be Traktor Scratch Certified to allow Traktor timecode CDs and vinyl to control the decks in Traktor Scratch Pro 2. Native Instruments is selective with granting Traktor Scratch Certification to audio hardware. The workaround described below will show you how to enable Traktor Scratch control with your uncertified audio hardware. Yes, you can possibly save money by not having to purchase a separate, certified audio interface!
For this to work, your mixer needs to have a built-in sound card. In addition, you will need Traktor Scratch Pro 2 (regular Traktor Pro 2 will not work). After following the steps in the video, you will need to check your sound card's settings and your Traktor settings to make sure the inputs and outputs are configured correctly. So far, reports indicate this fix is compatible the following mixers: AudioBox 1818VSL, BCD3000, DDJ-SZ, Denon DJ DN-X600, DJM-750, DJM-S9, Focusrite Saffire PRO 14, Hercules DJConsole RMX 2, M-Audio Torq Conectiv, MAYA44 USB, Rane 61, Rane 62, Rane SL4, TTM57mkII, Vestax VCI-400 Ean Golden Edition, Xone:23C, Xone:DB2, Xone:DB4, and Xone:DX.
Proceed at your own risk. By making modifications to your Traktor installation, you may be violating Traktor's EULA. Although these videos have been available for over a year, Traktor can be updated to prevent these modifications. Before starting, Windows users should perform a registry backup and Mac OS users should back up the Traktor executable file. Also, be sure to test stability and performance before playing out.

How to Install Traktor on Windows XP & Vista
Native Instruments officially discontinued Windows XP and Vista support in Traktor starting with Traktor version 2.5.0 (or so). If you try to install the latest version of Traktor in Windows XP or Vista, an error message will be displayed – 'This product requires at least Windows 7. Setup cannot continue.' The video below will show you how to extract the packaged Traktor install files and perform a manual installation.
Before starting the manual installation process, back up Traktor's settings by exporting a TSI file. You should also download WinRAR ahead of time. WinRAR, a popular utility you may already have installed, is used for executable extraction in this case.
With WinRAR installed, extract the setup files by right-clicking the Traktor setup executable > Extract Here. Once extraction completes, a 'data' folder should be present. The data folder contains all of the files that are normally installed. Go to the 'OFFLINE' folder. A bunch of unusual-looking folders are present. You will have to navigate through each folder until you find the Traktor executable, 'Traktor.exe.' Open up the Traktor installation directory you are assumed to have already. By default, the path is C:Program FilesNative InstrumentsTraktor 2. Rename the existing Traktor executable in order to back it up. Then copy over the new executable that you found a few moments ago. To get the new Traktor fully working, pay close attention to the remaining instructions in the video.
Again, proceed at your own risk. Keyscape vst download free reddit.

Xone 23c Traktor Pro 1
Q:I just bought the XONE:2D and I'm curious if there any pre-set mappings for Traktor Scratch Pro?
A:
There are many different ways to configure the XONE:2D and Traktor Pro, a lot depends on how you plan to combine the two and what media format/s you plan to use,
so if you're new to XONE:D Series mixers, or Traktor, we'd suggest using the A&H Traktor Pro .tsi configuration files to get you up and running.
These are available via the XONE:2DDocuments links HERE.
Download the Xone:2D Overlays Traktor Pro Maps .zip file
The .zip file download contains two pre-configured maps for Traktor Pro, together with documentation outlining how the various software parameters
are assigned to different XONE:2D MIDI controls and how the different 'modifier' states are enabled.
The .zip file also includes graphics files in diferent formats; a .pdf for visual reference, as well as Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator files to print for use as overlays
if you decide to stick with our maps, or to use as templates for editing if want to use our layouts with your own custom map.
If you use a PC, you can choose to import all options in the files; this will configure the XONE:2D soundcard routing for 4 Deck,
Internal Playback, of digital audio files direct to the four mix channels on the XONE:2D.
If you use OS X, or plan to use time encoded vinyl/CDs as part of your setup, you will need to configure some of the audio options manually,
as outlined in the product user guides.
More info on configuring Traktor with XONE:D Series interfaces is also available in video tutorials on the Allen&Heath YouTube channel HERE
You should also check the Native Instruments website, Traktor forums, Traktor Pro User Guide, or, alternatively,
it's also worth checking out R. G. Haselier's Traktor Bible for in depth information on setting up Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro;
this extensive guide references XONE:D Series interfaces in many application examples and is well worth investigating
if you want to get the most from this particular digital DJ application.
Traktor Pro Software
Please note that the A&H Traktor maps are designed to enable you to start using the two products,
though they are by no means the definitive way to use the mixer, or software.
However, these maps can be modified to accommodate your own personal preferences and re-saved as new files,
so you can use them as a starting point for customized maps, or until you're more familiar with the products.
We hope this helps.
