    @padi_04
    Great stuff! Do you have a link to confirm they worked together? I can't find it.
    Or do you know from inside-source they did?

    I've made diagrams for Deck A+B & Deck C+D on DDJ-SZ2 (regarding Mapping JaJa#1):

    Still have to do Mapping JaJa#2 & #3.


    I've also made diagrams for Deck A+B & Deck C+D on DJ-808:

    Now I'm trying to make a diagram for both while holding SHIFT.
    When pressing the LEARN-button in Traktor, and pushing the SHIFT + other button/knob, it only shows the Midi-value of the 1st button pressed (SHIFT therefor).
    I can workaround this by pressing SHIFT 1st, then activate the LEARN-button after, and then press the other button/knob.
    But that's a bit of a hassle.

    I've tried to make a toggle-function, either SHIFT is on or off:

    (whereas Ch16.Note.C-1 = midinote of Shift-button) But it doesn't work.

    How can I make sure SHIFT is already on (without holding SHIFT the whole time)?

    Use one of these



    But seriously, you need to hold down the shift for the time mapping commands as it is still easier than creating the entire layout by using a MIDI translator software.

    @Stewe
    Thanks for the rigoreous method
    Therefor, I sticked to manually holding down the SHIFT-button.

    I've finished the diagrams WHILE HOLDING SHIFT for Deck A+B & Deck C+D on DDJ-SZ2
    (regarding Mapping JaJa#1):

    DDJ-SZ2 SHIFT Deck A+B:

    Still have to do Mapping JaJa#2 & #3.

    To-do:
    - DDJ-SZ#2 JaJa.Mapping (incl. Deck A+B, Deck C+D, SHIFT Deck A+B, SHIFT Deck C+D)
    - DDJ-SZ#3 JaJa.Mapping (incl. Deck A+B, Deck C+D, SHIFT Deck A+B, SHIFT Deck C+D)
    So 8 more mappings to decode... sighs.

    No pain no gain

    Project stalled... Sorry guys.
    For whoever wants to continue this project, here are my Photoshop PDF-files: https://mega.nz/#!JAImHCrT!T6SDaNb8M...sTXH7fgV62999I
    Photoshop you can download for free here: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/3...oshop-cs2.html

    I recently realised the Sequencer-addon/Traktor 2.11 update, will make any drumcomputer possible (in the form of remix decks) using my Traktor S8. And... I'll keep the screens, which I love on the S8



    The only things that I will miss, are the direct pitch-fader and jog-wheels.
    ...Which I've solved by buying myself the Denon DN SC-2000's (2nd hand):





    They work great with my mapping here: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/7688

    I've ultimately ordered a CMD PL-1 to compare with the SC-2000's.
    I expect the jog-wheels to be less precise since its Behringer and the pitch-faders are shorter, but...
    Stewe (once again ) created an awesome mapping for it here: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/1676

    Map the SC2000's hotcues and loop buttons to be dimmed when not active

    Ohwow, this is weird...
    After your advice, I unplugged all 3 devices, plugged them back in.
    The hotcues are then dimmed on both Denons.
    Then I opened up Traktor, without loading any track in a deck.
    Check this out:



    As you can see, after opening Traktor, Hotcues remain dimmed but on @ Left controller (from 2010), Hotcues go off @ Right controller (from 2011).
    So I expected this to be a mapping issue...
    Therefor changed the settings by switching Device for Deck A/C to SC2000#2 (and Deck B/D to SC2000).
    After that, the hotcue lights are off on both Denons.

    Closed Traktor, opened up again, and the hotcues stay off.
    Then loaded a track into Deck A and Deck B; hotcues light up, as they should (since I have set cuepoints on these tracks).

    Closed Traktor, hotcues remain on.
    Opened Traktor, Hotcues remain on @ Left controller (from 2010), Hotcues go off @ Right controller (from 2011).

    When I switch the mappings once again, I can still mimick the same 'issue'.
    Note: I've updated the Firmware to v.1.25 on both units.

    Any idea why this is happening?

    EDIT 1:
    For the sake of it, I've switched the USB-cables from one unit to the other.
    Now I have this 'issue' on the Right controller (from 2011) instead of the Left one :O
    I'm using a powered USB-HUB from Logitech: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Prem.../dp/B000RZUV9S

    EDIT 2:
    I've disconnected the USB-HUB, used different USB-cables for both units, plugged them into previously-not-connected-before USB-ports on the back of my PC, and issue still remains.
    When I switch these different USB-cables, the issues switches from 1 deck to the other.

    The only thing I can think of... Is that the 2 mappings are MAINLY different in Deck Assignment;
    Midi-Note & Channel-wise they are practically the same. They devices only know the difference due setting the IN/OUT-port to either SC2000 or SC2000#2.
    I might have to change the Channel/Midi of 1 unit and remap 1 mapping to these...

    Stewe, have u seen such strange behavior before?

    Can you please upload both mappings mate?
    My guess is that MIDI Range values are different.

    As mentioned before, this is the mapping I'm using: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/7688
    ...Which includes both mappings.

    OK - I thought you might had change some things ever since you uploaded it. I'll take a look

    Why are there two dedicated hotcue output commands for each cue?
    And check the controller range: min value should be set to -1
