Newest EOS family software release for xkeys layout

no, the official ones are for xk-58 and xk-60. but if you had one that worked before, it still will work. there was no change to hotkeys after 2.3

hi ueli,

thanks for your prompt feedback!

so could I use a layout of the xk-60, for a xk-80 with 20 placeholders and only 60 programmed keys?

Thanks

i think you could. haven't used the macroworks software for a long time though, no guarantees...

ok, i´ll be trying like that, and will let us know!

cheers

Dear All,

just to let you all know, that the by ETC provided xk-60 layout template, won´t work on my xk-80 controller. When trying to load the template, there´s a message that the device has a wrong PID (product ID).

Actually it would be great, if one could switch in any x-keys controller, using it downwards as any other device, e.g. using an xk80 as xk60, or an xk60 as an xk58 and so on...

Best,
Jan

i guess that's a feature request for P.I. Engineering ;)

definetely... I´m on my way requesting to p.i. and let you know...

also p.i. is responding as prompt as usually etc does! :)

please find the answer of them below:

quote: That would not be possible, I’m sorry. Even if we did change the script enough so that it would load into an 80 key the key matrix is different between the units so the macros would not necessarily be on the same keys. I see two options, if this is a Hardware mode script (meaning that the macros are stored to the device’s memory) then you could use that HW programmed Xk-60 to program the new 80 key, entering in the macros via pressing the corresponding key on the XK-60. The second option would be to ask the company that supplied you with the script file to make one for the 80 key as well.

so regarding the reply of p.i., it´d be great if ETC could provide an xk-80 template to use! :)

thanks in advance to ETC!

Just to all let you know, I´ve got another emeil from p.i.engineering, sayingthat they´ll be able to convert an xk-60 template file for an xk-80 device!

I´m in touch with them, and probably soon I hope to be able, sharing it with you!

Great news folks!

Thanks a lot to Liam Long, Technical Support Specialist at P.I.engineering, for converting the "original" xk-60 layout template by ETC, to an xk-80 template file.

I´ve tried it already and it works just fine!

Please download and share :)

(...interestingly the forum won´t allow .mw3 file extensions to upload...so here´s a zip)

Kind regards,
