Hi gents,
First of all let me inform you that I have been a very silent follower/reader the past few years, with very few posts.
But now seems like i need your help.
After buying and selling equipment to experiment and feel which setup would be best, I finally (hopefully) settled with a DB4 (which still costs an awful lot of money!) in combination with a K2.
Most of the time I only use 2 decks in combination with a remix deck.
Since most of previous equipment was from NI, I successfully tried and tweaked the midimaps provided on DJTT's forum. Most of the tweaking was basic stuff.
But since I started a new mapping for DB4 and K2 from scratch, I'm struggling with a higher level of mapping; modifier and such.
1) I started with a device mapping for DB4 and afterwards one for the K2.
I searched through the forum, however could not find a solution to merge the 2 into 1 device mapping.
Traktor Tools online, seems not to work correctly for the latest version to TP2(3) (some midi note assignments would be left blank).
The copy and paste in texteditor - way did not work either.
Buying Xtreme mapping for this 1 time correction seems not justifiable.
Would be nice to have al mappings into one sheet or table (since K2 is connect/powered with DB4 by UTP cable)
2) Bottom button block - latching layers off.
Since I don't need 3 layers - nor the need for pressing buttons like a mad man to get the right layer - and wanted to adjust the colours for each button, i decided to use the modifiers/shift buttons with latching layers off.
Shift off
row 1 + 2 control Deck A - first 4 buttons are hotcues - next play/pause - loop active on, etc
row 3 + 4 control Deck B - idem
colour coding + beat phase (play/pause) works fine
Shift 1 - modifier 1 (layer button on K2)
row 1 + 2 control Deck A - next 4 hotcues
row 1 + 2 control Deck B - idem
Shift 2 - modifier 2 (exit setup button on K2)
Is used to trigger remix deck samples (this was a pretty complex procedure!)
However I think i managed to do it correctly for all 4 pages. Deck loaded; light up - Playing; blinking.
Now when shifts are not pressed, the sample button which has been triggered keeps flashing even when in hotcue mode/layout - which I only want to blink when shift 2 is pressed.
Has this something to do with the COND1 + COND2 of the remix deck SLOT/CELL STATE or BEAT PHASE?
Furthermore, pressing shift 1, for hotcues 5-8 and releasing it - comes automatically back to hotcues 1-4 layout.
However when using shift 2, to trigger samples, and releasing it, keeps the remix deck layout thus not returning to hotcues1-4 layout.
I know it has something to do with the send state, which I included but maybe not setup correctly?
Sorry if I explained this in a very confusing way, may have to do with the language barrier.
Hope you guys can help me out.
