    Default 3D: only a few commands from mapping are working

    Having a hard time setting up my 3D.

    Just got it and none of the mappings seem to be working fully.
    I got the MF3D DeckGratMotion mapping to work partially on traktor. The play pause works, the shift works, & the filter works. None of the other notes work.

    Even when traktor detects the controller and those particular notes, they don't seem to do anyting.

    ok Ave
    do us a favor here. It will help out a lot since we cant sit next to you and actually SEE what you are doing

    Go through the process of importing / adding your MF3D to your traktor setup as well as importing / adding the mapping for the Grat yuo downloaded

    and when i say go through the steps, what id like you to try is

    Each time you do a step, type out exactly what you did

    It should come down to about 8 steps so type them up here, one at a time "AS YOU DO EACH"
    then move to each next step.

    This way we can see if you missing something simple
    or even if yuo are simply clicking the wrong IMPORT button / ADD button
    as there are two of the IMPORT buttons
    and there is a right and wrong time to click either of them

    No worries my man. Im sure we will get you sorted out

    ok, so here's what I do :

    Start traktor
    go to pref - controller setings
    click big import button
    import the tsi
    select controller mapping & effects to import
    then I do this once more (import tsi using big import button)
    close pref.
    the controller icon on the top turns yellow and the CNTRL light next to it glows when I use the 3D
    The top right button works (play/pause), the filter button works (with motion), and shift works

    Sometimes even the CNTRL light doesn't glow (but I might've done things in a different sequence this time, though)
    The most I've gotten to work was almost everything in the first bank (Deck a) but none of the other decks have anything mapped

    I've tried restarting traktor, flashing the 3d, changing to remix deck firmware and back to standard and all that

    Thanks for your help man

    What mode is your MF3d set to?
    4 banks hold? or other. give the complete description on it since there are two of them pretty similar to eachother


    i know man.... this is just the begining and its the POA part. I know you are going to get anxious and heated having to answer questions that should be obvious, and you might think (Why T-F- you wanna ask me that?!)

    Again, its because we arent sitting there...... so hold tight

    Right now.. i just finished doing my live show, uploading it, contacting our sponsor, vocalist, and pushing it across the social networks,
    so since this is my birthday weekend, right about now.. i need to do a couple hours of (NOTHING)
    ill be back later tonight if you got an answer on that one above

    Hey avenkat0,

    Did you try to import some other mapping? The steps you posted are correct so if other mappings don't work properly as well that will result in hardware problem possibility.

    that was my next question
    it sounds like its a conflict between mappings but i wanted to see the original steps anyway

    Just tried another mapping after flashing the 3D.
    It works well on all 4 decks!
    So, the problem seems to be that the DeckGratMotion mapping only works from the first bank.

    just out of curiosity (not that i know if it matters but) in my S4 controller settings
    i have the unit set to 4fxs as opposed to 2effects
    I cant remember right now where that setting is because im at work
    but im thinking its where your hangup can be.

    Also, it seriously sounds like the grat mapping is just not importing correctly
    even though you said, you imported it twice just to make sure

    Grats require four FX units to be set so that should be no worries.

    I'm not really sure what that implies. How do I do that?

    One more question: Is there an easy way of combining the grats mapping and the
    BeauBryte mapping. I mostly use 2 decks, I like the fx on the grats mapping and I like the cue point juggling capabilities from BeauBryte's mapping. So, I figured why not have the fx and cue points on bank 1 and 2 for deck A and the 3 an 4 for deck B.

    Is there an easy way of doing this, or would I have to do it one mapping at a time manually?
