Hack the F1

this may of been mentioned in the feed already (not read it all) but recently read impassing, that the NI S4 uses some form of Protocol that is 4 times faster than Midi Which NI developed (so cannot remember the name of the protocol or the artical) my guess is that that is why the F1 and traktor is locked if anyone knows of the name for it their is more than likly to be a midi to hid Protocol translation software out there...

but the answer might not be in software after reading this...

This is more of a work around rather than hack, but thought I'd share. I've replaced the remix deck in traktor with ableton and have routed the audio from ableton into traktor via external routing. Long story short, I have two "remix decks" for which I can use traktor effects on. If anyone is interested in doing this I'll post a more detailed set of instructions or vid on how to do this.

this is kind of what i do for some clip launching goodness - tho i'm routing audio out of mixxx into ableton - just so many more possibilities once you get the audio into ableton.

The day someone gets a DVS system that routes audio into and syncs with Ableton, I'll be one happy bastard.

Ms. Pinky VST? Allegedly works with MIDI jogs too.

No - I mean actually SYNC'ing the 2 sources - the audio being controlled by the control vinyl, and Lives master tempo. So that you can route audio in to Live, and add effects to the music from the vinyl, and use Live for live looping.

I'm ONLY interesting in control vinyl. I want to be able to select and launch my tunes using the DVS system, them route it into live and use Live for manipulation of the audio.

Remix decks are basically just a MASSIVELY stripped down version of Live anyway! If Ableton took vinyl control and added it to Live, Traktor would be dropped like a bad habit!

i hoped to hear of some updates!

the miss pinky control vinyl can do it all in live just customise and your live set to DJ style but i guess the live layout would be confusing to many regular jocks or traktor users but thern again the smartmixing work round could work to but i really need the hack to work as running live and traktor make it a little unstable and regular crashes tent to happen

I find it crazy that the Midifighter project got something nailed in a matter of weeks to lock into the remix decks, but nothing has eventuated from this project. Did they have someone from NI secretly helping out to hook into the HID?

That's pretty cool! Any details on how to set it up?
