Akai LPD8 FX Instant Grat. Mapping

[ranzerox]

heyo guise,

so im working on an effects control only mapping for my lpd 8.

i have mapped:
PAD 5 - Group Effect 1 On/Off (For Effect Slot 3)
PAD 6 - Group Effect 2 On/Off (For Effect Slot 3)
PAD 7 - Group Effect 3 On/Off (For Effect Slot 3)
PAD 8 - Group Effect 1,2,3 On/Off (For Effect Slot 3)


PAD 1 - Group Effect 1 On/Off (For Effect Slot 4)
PAD 2 - Group Effect 2 On/Off (For Effect Slot 4)
PAD 3 - Group Effect 3 On/Off (For Effect Slot 4)
PAD 4 - Group Effect 1,2,3 On/Off (For Effect Slot 4)

Knobs:
K1 - Dry/Wet For Group Effect Slot 3
K2 - Effect 1 Amount
K3 - Effect 2 Amount
K4 - Effect 3 Amount

K5 - Dry/Wet For Group Effect Slot 4
K6 - Effect 1 Amount
K7 - Effect 2 Amount
K8 - Effect 3 Amount

So its kind of a simpler instant gratification mapping.. works wonders for me. works best with Beatmasher, Filter, Gator filling the effect slots.

Edit: Forgot to mention, All buttons are toggle, except PAD 8 and PAD 4. they are hold buttons.


Edit 2: next i will be working on using the second preset as an effect selecter, changing the effects for 3 and 4. t

You think you could attach the tsi and the lpd8 preset meanwhile so that I could play around with it a bit please

[ranzerox]

there you go guys, tsi and preset are in the OP. the preset is for only the first channel or program or whatever, so you still have the other three available presets slots to play with. also, the midi notes for the preset are extremely high, like.. D#7 and such. this is because my vestax typhoon takes up like... C0 all the way to A5. so i had to map the preset so it wouldnt interfere with my typhoon.

cheers! will mess around with it for sure

cool ... i literally busted out the lpd8 last night as i wanted to create a mapping to complient my dvs setup.

Not sure this will be for me as i want loop and loop move etc incorporated but i will def have a play.

Cheers!

hi. You convinced my to buy the lpd8, instead of the nanopad (See this thread)
Thanks a lot

hmmm, ive had no luck getting it to work. the notes referred to in the traktor mapping don't seem to be the ones the LPD editor sets when loading the preset.

interesting. ill make another preset that isnt as high in the midi notes and include it in a a new zip. theres other questions too though, like make sure your note display type is at (C#3).
also, might wanna unplug and plug back in your lpd8 before doing this. otherwise it wont truly connect with the device.
