The problem is you didn't look just because you Googled something doesn't mean you looked. People on this forum have been more than nice enough to point you in the right direction but were not idiots were not gonna do the work for you. There are hundreds of posts on mapping and the DDM4000. So use this site's search button on RTFM.
Oh cool, I have a DDM4000, it hadn't even occurred to me to use it as a controller. Hmmmm... possibilities.
How do you know what I've done? You sitting here at my desk? In my search for what I am looking for, I found this useless thread. Along with the same old "search" reply that forums are so well known for.Quote:

Excuse me? I just signed up today, not asking anyone to do work for me, i'm asking you to quit wasting my fucking time with gay ass "use the search button" replies.
Just for the record, I have the Traktor Bible, and know how to map my DDM4000, I am looking for one specific piece of information that I can't get to work right. But fuck if I will ask on this site now.
Hey djroketboy, what is the piece of specific information you're looking for? I'm kind of new to mapping, but I'll do my best to help you find the answer.
I use Trackor Scratch Pro (v1) with 2 timecode vinyls. I am trying to get the crossfader to do focus select for A & B, also Master Select on both A & B. I have focus select working on notes 34 and 36 (manual select buttons) along with midi recieve working (turning on the LED's) for cc34 and cc 37.Quote:

Yeah modifiers are tricky, I'm still getting used to them myself.Quote:

Is that the way you have it set up already?
Yeah I had tried that, but from what I could see it only made the mapped LED's flash really fast back and fourth. Maybe I missed something so I will try it again. Right now I have it so note 34 will select Deck A and note 36 will select Deck B, the correlating LED will light up, so I know which deck is on. It does work, I just thought it would be nicer to use the crossfader to do it.Quote:

I dont have my DDM4000 anymore, but do the lights flicker back and forth ONLY when you move the fader? If so, it might be the settings on the actual MIDI button commands. For example, Instead of "HOLD" set to "Direct".
In terms of mapping it out to the fader, yea you're mapping it right. Both commands go to the same fader.
If a mapping isn't working correctly, the way I've come to test out what I'm doing is:Quote:

So after you've got your stuff backed up and create a new mapping, I would go in and add the two entries or Deck Focus and learn the left/right fader positions for each entry. Without anything else in the way, a simple command to switch decks when the fader sends is in the left or right position should work. I would worry about the LED's after all that is worked out.
