    very impressive do you even you all those scenes you have? if i understand right you switch a selector and have 12 different functions on the controller? i see so much switches there

    There's 16 arcade buttons and 12 knobs per 'bank' and there are 4 switches to select the bank (plus no switches closed makes 5 banks. In theory you could combine any 2 of the switches for loads if banks but don't really to! Hope that's bit clearer! Keep the questions coming! Also I'd like to know what you would map to all the buttons

    Make one! If you know what your doing it'll cost less than £100 and about a week! Can't reccomend it enough!

    i think your approach of deviding it to get a half per deck is right.

    its hard to choose what works best for one, so i dont know what i would let traktor do with it, as i have vdj and am not settled in TP.

    I use a nanopad, and got it set up quite similar. 1 bank for basic controls like play,stop etc. 1 bank for effects, one for the sampler and one for video-effekts. Everything devided for the two decks.

    i will think about possibilities that your controller offers, if i have a mindbreaking idea i will let you know peace

    Thats pretty tight. Looks like you are only using about 1/3 of its functionality so far too. Plenty of room to grow with that and the vci together.

    Yeh definately. I'm only using 3 of a possible loads of banks and I'm yet to map any knobs so plenty of room to grow! Hence why I'm open to any ideas!
