I'm trying to send midi clock from Traktor 3.2 on my Mac to my Xone:96 via USB, and out to a Roland Tr-8s drum machine via the midi out on the mixer. The drum machine does not pick up on anything being passed to it. I have Traktor configured to send midi sync externally, as shown here, and I've tried every midi sync setting on the roland. I've confirmed it's not a cable issue, and the roland can receive midi clock from other midi devices connected the same way. Is there something I'm missing on the mixer? Is there something I need to do to "send" to the roland? Any thoughts are appreciated.
The TR8 and TR8S support MIDI over USB, so there's no need to use the Xone for clock. You just need to create a generic midi device in the Traktor controller settings and set the out to the TR, with a standard USB a to b cable going from the TR to your laptop. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed before doing so. Turn MIDI sync on in the software and when you press play on a deck, the TR will follow the master tempo clock. The tempo on the TR LED screen will vanish and in it's place will just be a series of ----. If you're DJing using sync all the time its brilliant. However, It won't follow the phase 100% of the time if you are beatmatching manually, so if you're using CDJs in HID mode so you'll have to keep the TR in time every so often by using the jog wheels in vinyl mode. If you need any help setting it up, let me know!
Thanks a lot for the video. This is magnificent. So many amazing options and perks.The only limit will be your imagination. I'd like to ask, can xone 96 send a midiclock to Ableton, for Ableton to follow the master tempo from xone 96? I want to use Ableton in a vinyl set, for adding some loops, accapellas, etc. Cheers.
Hi, Thanks for the message. The Xone 96 doe does not have an internal clock. Therefore, any clock would have to come from the computer. This clock can then be passed thu the mixer via USB and out the MIDI din socket, so that any external hardware can be synced. I hope this helps! Best, Luke
Unfortunately, Xone 96 midi capabilities become ineffective if we abstain from utilizing ableton in our setup. Perhaps we wish to have a laptop-less setup? What would be greatly useful, is the ability to sync the midi out time signal on the 96 with external media players, such as the Denon Sc5000 (as you have demonstrated here as part of your setup), and then out to external effects units. Apparently, this feature is present in your PX5 mixer, however sorely missed in the 96, your flagship mixer. Do you, Allen & Heath have the intention or ability to introduce this crucially needed feature in the future?
Curious if you ever found out more info here? My use case is spinning vinyl and would be awesome for the xone 96 to interpolate the BPM and send the BPM via midi out to an effects pedal midi input.
Hi, The filter assignments switches and EQ are not part of the 96’s MIDI implementation. Please check the article below for an overview of the controls that are MIDI enabled on 96. www.allen-heath.com/content/uploads/2023/06/X96_MIDI-Control-Overview.pdf Thanks, Luke
Hi, Thanks, for the message. The Xone:96 is an analogue mixer with no internal clock. There are no time parameter features within the mixer for this product to require a clock. As Alex explains in the Video, the clock is passed through the mixer from an external clock source via USB (computer). In order to set your specified hardware as the clock master, you would need to slave the software application to the hardware device, transmit the MIDI feed through the 96, then anything connected to the 96 DIN connector will receive the clock. I hope this helps! Kind regards, Luke
Hi! i have a setup without computers.

Hi Marcelo, Both the 96 and TR08 will have fixed implementation, so it is unlikely this will be match between the devices and be able to control one another. The 96 implementation is listed in the document below. Furthermore, the 96 does not have a built-in clock.

Hi Xone DJ, can MIDI control been used for 16 chain fader mixing down on Ableton while producing? For me it’s worth to have it as a hybrid mixer for performance and producing.

Hi Andrejs T, Thanks for the message. It is possible to map the MIDI enabled controls from the 96 to the software.

Hi there, I am considering buying this mixer. I have one technical unknown. If I sync two computers using Xone 96 midi clock , on one computer I will be using Trator Pro 3 and on the other will have an instance of Ableton, will I be able to use ableton as an external effector and use it via mixer's SEND/RETURN routing without any delays and latency problem ? Do i need an external audio interface to achieve this , or the built-in soundcards will do the job ?
Xone:96 dual soundcards have a ‘partner mode’ this is for the purpose of linking two laptops and sharing a clock from the designated master device/software. When setting up a send and return config between analogue and digital system. There can be inherent latency caused by the conversion in and out of the digital device (computer). The built in cards can manage this all for you. Thanks, Luke
Hi Liam, The X;link is solely a Xone protocol for connecting K series controllers. It is not possible to connect any third-party device to this protocol. The 96 also only any has a MIDI din out, so there is no way of passing MIDI into 96 from Third-party this way either. Typically, we usually advise not using hubs when managing high-speed data transfer from soundcards. But I’m guessing from your question that you possibly have limited connectivity on your computer. Nowadays we are seeing newer systems, sometimes only with a singular port. If this is the case, then a hub may be the only solution. Best regards, Luke

Hi, The TR8s can connect to the 96’s MIDI din output. This is ideal if you want to pass MIDI note or clock data on from a computer that is connected to the Mixer’s USB interface.

+Jonathan Dahood We wish you all the best in your job interview. Please note that only the 4 main input fades, CUE buttons, filter buttons, and select controls on the Xone96 send MIDI data out. The EQ’s do not send MIDI. You can find more detailed information on MIDI implementation here: www.allen-heath.com/media/X96_MIDI-Control-Overview.pdf

+Jonathan Dahood, the EQ pots on the 96 are purely analog, directly affecting the audio that passes through it. In order to maintain our high standard of audio quality, and maintain a competitive street, we opted to keep the EQ's as purely analogue circuits.

It is not possible to control the I/O in Audio MIDI setup, as you can see it is greyed out and this feature is not available with 96. The issue here is that the software platform is not able to route the audio correctly from the hardware. We know that OBS on Mac will grab on to all outputs at once. So, in this case you will need to deploy a third-party routeing app, such as loopback. This will resolve the issue. Best, Luke
You should release a Xone: 96B with improve QA, soundcard, and no sanding/grinding knobs or faders,. Also, compression rather than crunch on filters 1 and 2.

When using X:link the software must point toward the MIDI host. In this case it will be the host X:link enabled mixer with a USB connection established.
Best regards,
Luke
Dovevo attivare il midi 1 Switches, solo cosi lo vede traktor
Cool, we are glad to hear that you managed to figure it out!
For years I've wished my xone92 fades, and eq had midi capabilities. Well here it is.😍😍 fingers crossed if I get a job I just interviewed for this is on the studio upgrade list!

We wish you all the best in your job interview. Please note that only the 4 main input fades, CUE buttons, filter buttons, and select controls on the Xone96 send MIDI data out. The EQ’s do not send MIDI. You can find more detailed information on MIDI implementation here: www.allen-heath.com/media/X96_MIDI-Control-Overview.pdf
@@xonedjofficial thank you! Do you know why the EQ doesn't have midi? That's a key feature, especially for a DJ that likes old school equipment. But also makes mixes in software, or if you record a live set, and want to fine tune it to post a live mix after the event.
+Jonathan Dahood, the EQ pots on the 96 are purely analog, directly affecting the audio that passes through it. In order to maintain our high standard of audio quality, and maintain a competitive street, we opted to keep the EQ's as purely analogue circuits.
@@xonedjofficial ok I see. Thank you!😎
@@xonedjofficial What about the Crossfader and the Filter knob?
Like I used to do with the Xone 92 in this video
(Traktor routed into Ableton with Lexicon PSP 42 controlled by Xone:92 Crossfader and Filter knob)

I'm trying to map the Ableton crossfade with the xone 96 crossfade but it doesn't work @xonedijofficial
For assistance, please drop us a line. support@allen-heath.com. Thanks, Luke
Thanks Luke. It’s quite perplexing as I’m receiving post fader master audio but I cannot adjust any settings in Mac Audio Midi setup despite Xone showing as an audio device. I’m running Ventura. Video below shows the issue. Many thanks in advance

It is not possible to control the I/O in Audio MIDI setup, as you can see it is greyed out and this feature is not available with 96.
The issue here is that the software platform is not able to route the audio correctly from the hardware. We know that OBS on Mac will grab on to all outputs at once. So, in this case you will need to deploy a third-party routeing app, such as loopback. This will resolve the issue.
Best,
Luke
Pity they didn't make the pots midi as well!
You should release a Xone: 96B with improve QA, soundcard, and no sanding/grinding knobs or faders,. Also, compression rather than crunch on filters 1 and 2.
