X Keys support

X-keys is now supported

Some tip's;

  • Button 1 on the xkeys is page 1 button/bank 1. As Streamdeck XL has 32 buttons, button 33 on your xkeys is automatically page 2 button/bank 1 for programming
  • Empty buttons on the xkeys de count, so make sure you skip those when needed (use companion log to see which button you are pressing).
  • If your xkeys is pressing buttons you don't like (because of numbering), use the page option in settings to create an offset. This way you can set button 1 from your xkeys to for example page 10 button 1. When you press button 1 on your xkeys, it will be button 10.0. When you press button 33 on the xkeys it will be 11.1

Best tip I could give is to create pages just for the xkeys, start for example on page 50. Remove the page up/down/index buttons and put the page setting of the surface to 50.

When you see Button 2.1 pressed while you press 1 on the xkeys and Button 99.17 pressed while you press 17, you still have the page up/down buttons programmed.

Feedback

The xkeys red backlight will respond to programmed feedback. When the red value of a background color is above 125 the button red light will go on

T-Bar

When your model has a t-bar, it will update the variable $(internal:t-bar) you can use this variable in other modules.

Page offset

Its possible to create an offset for when the button presses start. Look for it in the surface settings.

Disable your xkeys

When you don't want to use the xkeys in companion, but its connected to your computer, disable it in the surface settings.

When you have questions, drop a message in Slack
