1
Rotary Encoders
Turning an encoder produces MIDI CC
(continuous controller) messages with a unique controller number in two’s compliment binary encoding (Map2) or Note on messages (Map1) - see diagram overleaf.
These encoders feature a built in momentary push switch. Pressing down on the encoder knob activates the switch and sends a “note on” MIDI message, releasing the switch sends a corresponding “note off” message.
2
3
Rotary Potentiometers
T h e s e c o n t r o l s a r e s t a n d a r d potentiometers with end stops and a centre detent for easy setting. Turning a pot from left to right will send MIDI messages with a unique CC number and a control value from 0 to 127.
Linear Faders
Moving a linear fader will send a MIDI message with a unique CC number and a control value from 0 (bottom) to 127 (top).

Push Buttons
There are 12 momentary action switches coded with letters M through to X for easy identification. Pressing a switch will send a unique “note on” MIDI message. Releasing the switch sends a corresponding “note off” message.
Rotary Encoder
A rotary encoder with switch, as above.
6
Jog Wheel
The jog wheel features an optical encoder, which produces CC messages in a similar way to the other encoders. Switches are located at the top, bottom, left and right of the wheel. Pushing down on the face of the wheel sends note on / note off messages.
7
Illuminated Push Buttons
Momentary action switches with red light ring indicators. Pressing a switch will send a
“note on” MIDI message, releasing the switch will send a “note off” message.
If the MIDI Map is set to Map 1, the illuminated rings will stay on permanently. If the
MIDI Map is set to Map 2 they will toggle each time the switch is pressed.

MIDI Map
Two control mappings are available, Map2 is the default for most applications. Map1 differs only in the messages generated by the top row of rotary encoders and the four illuminated switches. Use Map2 with Ableton Live software. Map1 is recommended for use with Native
Instruments Traktor software.
MIDI Messages
The diagram shows which controls are associated with
MIDI CC (continuous controller) and note on/off messages. These controls send the MIDI messages shown when operated.
The rotary encoders and jog wheel are digital controls that send 2’s complement data rather than absolute values. For a more in depth description of how to set up the MIDI controls please refer to the Technical Tutorials on the Xone website: www.xone.co.uk
The switch light ring indicators may be turned on or off by incoming MIDI messages.

WINDOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION
The Allen & Heath Xone:1D is fully compliant with Windows XP and will plug and play. The
Xone:1D will be recognised as a USB Audio Device in XP and will be labelled as such in System Manager and in the setup of any DAW software. Installation of the drivers will label the
Xone:1D as a “Xone MIDI Device” both in System Manager and in the setup of any Digital
Audio Workstation software.
The drivers must be installed for the Xone:1D to function if using Windows 2000 or Vista.
To download the drivers for the Xone:1D visit: www.xone.co.uk and follow the links for the Xone:1D.
To start the driver installation, make sure that the
Xone:1D is NOT connected to your PC and click on
Setup.exe in the driver folder.
Choose your desired language from the drop down menu.
Once your language has been selected click on “Install the
Driver”.
The installation will first uninstall any earlier drivers.
Allen & Heath 8 XONE:1D User Guide
WINDOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION
Now plug the Xone:1D to a USB port on your PC.
NOTE: The drivers will map to the USB socket used in the installation. To ensure that your Xone:1D works on all
USB ports repeat the driver installation for each port.
Once the Xone:1D has been plugged in the installation will initialise it.
Next the USB drivers will be installed.
This window indicates the installation is complete.

MIDI Channel Number
The MIDI channel number will default to channel 16, but can be changed to any channel between 1 and 16.
To change the MIDI channel number and MIDI map:
1. Connect the USB cable to the PC/Mac but not the Xone:1D
2. Hold down the switch on the encoder shown in the diagram
3. Connect the USB cable to the Xone:1D
4. The illuminated switches will flash three times—now release the switch on the encoder
The illuminated switches on the Xone:1D will display the current
MIDI channel number in binary format as shown below.

To change the channel number that the MIDI is transmitted on, rotate the encoder above the jog wheel.
Once the desired channel has been selected, press and then release the switch on the encoder above the jog wheel, the illuminated switches will flash once indicating that the channel number has been set.

MIDI MAP AND LIGHT PIPE SETUP
Changing the MIDI Map
Once the MIDI channel number has been stored, the illuminated switch to the far right of the unit will flash indicating that the MIDI map may now be selected.
Map 1 (Traktor default)
The first switch (far left) is used to select MIDI Map 1. In this map the top row of encoders send ‘Note On’ messages upon rotation (see MIDI Control Section p25).
The third button (centre right) is used to determine the status of the light rings. If the third light ring is illuminated, then during normal operation all four light rings will stay illuminated at all times.
If the third light ring is not illuminated then each light ring will toggle on and off on receipt of a specific MIDI ‘Note On’ message. The ‘Note On’ message that the light ring responds to is the same ‘Note On’ message that is sent by the corresponding switch.
Therefore, referencing the MIDI Control Section, the first (far left) light pipe will toggle on and off when it receives a ‘Note On’ message of D1.
Map 2 (Ableton default)
The second switch (centre left) is used to select MIDI Map
2. In this map the top row of encoders send ‘Control
Change’ messages upon rotation (see MIDI Control Sec-
tion p25).
The third button (centre right) is used to determine the status of the light rings. If the third light ring is illuminated, then during normal operation all four light rings will toggle on and off when their respective switch is pressed.
If the third light ring is not illuminated then each light ring will toggle on and off on receipt of a specific MIDI ‘Note On’ message. The ‘Note On’ message that the light ring responds to is the same ‘Note On’ message that is sent by the corresponding switch.
Therefore, referencing the MIDI Control Section, the second (middle left) light pipe will toggle on and off when it receives a ‘Note On’ message of B-1.
When the desired MIDI map has been selected, press and release the switch on the encoder above the jog wheel. The illuminated switches will flash three times indicating that the MIDI map has been stored and that the unit is now in its normal operating mode.
