Excellent work!! Now we can use the EKS Otus and Otus Raw with Scratch Live. Whoop whoop. :)
Rebelguy 2:16 PM - 12 April, 2011
Are these available in the USA?
Rebelguy 2:16 PM - 12 April, 2011
I meant the units...not the mappings.

Is there any US based distribution for the device yet?

No. But we are working on it.

I still assume that someone will import them.

Do you have a video demonstrating it?

New Version
toka-disco.de

Changes / Improvements:

ALL DEVICES:
- Replaced multiple document files with one PDF document.
- Exchanged the "Tab Focus" button with a "Back" button as you know it from other Devices:
--- Push once: go back to crates
--- Push again: expand / collapse a crate
- If you were browsing crates, the "Load" buttons now switch to the selected crate first. On the second push, it loads the track.
- Fixed a bug with the platter not working anymore when returning from a Backspin
- Fixed a collision of MIDI messages when using the mapping simultaneously with a Rane SixtyEight.

OTUS RAW / XP5:
- Added the ability to delete Cue's

OTUS / OTUS RAW:
- Back Button (Earlier Versions "Tab Focus") is now located next to the lower right corner wheel, instead of "deck-switch-button single-click" to avoid confusion.
- Added SP-6 Volume control.
- Added Break-Speed control.

OTUS RAW:
- Both upper corner wheels now always control corresponding Ultra-Knob FX



Feedback appreciated.

That's a nice video indeed. Just a bit unfortunate that the DJ is not using the main platters at all :-( (only the sides for pitch bending)
radikarl 7:26 AM - 11 May, 2011
at the end he does a backspin ;-)
nik39 9:16 AM - 11 May, 2011
Wow!

Hi, can you possibly help me out I'm struggling with point 3. I can't move the file into the eks preset file. it shows as green(on my macbook) but when I drag and drop nothing happens. If I unplug my device I can only get preset editor. What am i doing wrong?? how do I copy it over?

Thanks

Ciaran

if you are on a MAC:

you have to copy the files which end with XOP, XPP and XQP here:

path:
Quote:

/Library/Application Support/EKS/Controllers/Presets


- just copy this path from here, then open finder
- hit CMD SHIFT G
- paste

enter
this is where the files go.

if you are on windows feel free to ask again, then i can look it up when i get home to my other computer
ciaran78 3:12 PM - 14 June, 2011
thanks for your fast response, it is a mac. I'll give it a shot

thanks

hey there
i'm stuck in the Preset Editor (step.5) when i try and load either the .xop or .xpp presets i get
"failed to load preset"

.xqp works but it appears to only work with the Otus RAW and trying to get the regular Otus up and running
(then again maybe i'm dumb and might need a more detailed stepbystep setup guide)

thanks

Same here, i e-mailed to eks and they replied, that they're working on this asap.
Actually there's a trick of using an older version of the midi-agent. Worked fine.
Also, if anybody's interessted, the mapping is still available here: data.rane-dj.de
(Since radikarls website seems to be down? :( ???)

So.. I was thinking about the LED movement of the OTUS (its working in Traktor using the Beat Phase Monitor MidiCommand) using the MIDI-Beat-Clock of the Sixty-Two. I'm not quite sure if this is possible, but I want to give it a try. So... Any suggestions about that?

Do Somebody has the good manual for complete MIDI control for EKS OTUS RAW (or else)?

I think that it is necessary to make new mapping because "scratch" function not always works correctly, and backspin via the button is a horror. I tryed to make backspin without it, but it works one of two times.

Did you get any response from EKS? & where can we find the old version of midi agent? On EKS site there is no old version
Destinee One 2:10 PM - 20 December, 2013
Does this mapping work for the SL3?
Destinee One 6:48 PM - 22 April, 2014

If you're using the EKS OTUS Raw there is another .XML you have to use. I have to look it up tho.
