Xone K3 - option to disable soft pick up (globally or per control Faders/Potentiometers)

I mapped faders for same function (volume) on two Layers that I currently use.

When I switch Layer I want immediate response from current position, but now in most cases (but not always) I must to move fader up/down few times to “pick up” fader on Layer… It’s very inconvenient…

MIDI pickup is the responsibility of the application in which You are using MIDI controller. This is how this setting looks like in Bitwig:

this is from K3 user guide:

“ALL CONTROLS - In this state, all controls on the surface are linked to Latching Layers. The faders and pots have an embedded soft pick up algorithm to provide seamless integration across layers.“

this setting (off or on) doesn’t helps

What, no one has encountered such a problem?

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Even when I’m not switching layers, but working on a single layer, once the fader is in the up/down position, it often becomes impossible to move it immediately when mixing tracks.

I am having the exact same problem with my K3 - I am using Algoriddims DJay software on PC, and sometimes they work straight away, sometimes it can take 3 or 4 full movements of the sliders/knobs before they register, even when not switching layers, although switching layers seems to make the problem more prevailant.

I would just like to add, this dosnt happen with traktor 4. All works as it should so it looks like its a software not hardware issue

if they add new mode (see topic: Xone K3 - Latching Layer Options (new mode suggestion)) then maybe it solves the problem…
