Midi Fighter Deckalized Mapping

so i uploaded the deckalized tsi into traktor and it didnt do anything. not only that it deleted all of my other midi mapping and settings. any ideas as to why?

Help the deckalized mappings Zip folders are empty!!!! just got my Midi Fighter and i'm desparate to start playing!!! can anyone repost the .tsi files???? cheers

Hi folks,
whenever I try to unzip the MF_Deckalized zip files, I am unable to get to the TSI file. Winzip gives me an error message (invalid zip file). Windows throws a similar error. PKzip unzips the file, but the content isn't a TSI file.
I have tried on several PC's and have rebooted a few times.
Anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,
Guy G

If you want to control four decks using this mapping is the focus version your only option? I'd love to use 2 MFs with one on A/C and the other on B/D and be able to switch between them when necessary. Is that possible?

hey i have a problem with my sampler when i press the red record button in order to go into sample mode instead of loading the beatslicer the trans effect is always loaded and ive tried many times to reload the tsi and to update the firmware and still no luck is there anyone that can help me?

You can fix that manually if the following does not help.

Try :

Go to import option on the bottom left corner on controller manager & import the tsi file through there. Please note that if you are using multiple controller's , this will erase all other active tsi files.
This may be best option to do it this way , so that the GUi Layout , fx settings are as required on the map.
You can then import the other TSi files on the top drop down menu & remember to un-tick the box for FX settings so that does not mess up the MF.

--------------------

If this does not work, go to MF controller manager , look up Deck 3 FX select option & change it manually to Beatslicer. that should work.

so like, i have 1.2.4 and every time i press the red sample button, it does weird things to the track. it will clip it, speed it up, slow it down, all sorts of weird crap. it seems like it happens to one midi fighter more than the other. sometimes it works correctly but very rarely.

the first time i installed it, sample juggle mode wouldnt work at al. after reading this thread i found out i needed to reload the .tsi file, which i did. but something isnt right. everything else works fine except for sample juggle mode.

please someone help, i have a gig in a few days and i just got these in the mail.

my sampler mode has never worked for me.
It always clips the sound
I have tried following the youtube clips of Ean showing how it works but it always just sounds crapy.

I have been asking about this for some months now but nobody seems to have an answer. Happy that I'm not the only one !

Hi there,

I think what has happened you have got "Reverse Grain" effect loaded into FX slot 3 & that should be the Beatslicer effect.

You can change that manually if you go onto the device manager section in the preferences & look up midifighter/FX slot 3 'effect select'

Then just choose the beatslicer from the drop-down menu.

This will enable correct effect setting & it should be fully working.

Cheers,

matti

I'm going to take a closer look at this in the next few days but let us know if Systemattik is correct and it's loading the wrong effect. Some people have reported this issue and it can generally be fixed by reloading the tsi. For some reason, Traktor often doesn't load the effect settings properly on the first import and it requires a second import.

Otherwise, the issue may be the beatgrid of the track you are trying to sample. The sampler function is highly dependent on this and if the grid is off it will sound strange.

A last thing I would check is the tempo of the master clock (you can see it by clicking on the metronome by FX banks 1/3) while you use the sampler function. The auto clock can float around a bit sometimes and if you try to use the sampler while it's doing this it can sound like the sample is pitch warping.

Since most people don't have issues using the "sampler" function on the deckalized mapping, I have a strong feeling that the mapping is fine but something is going wrong with the Traktor settings or beat grids for those who encounter this issue. Hopefully we can figure this out to avoid this for others in the future.

Maybe try http://www.7-zip.org/. It's free, simple and is what I use to test unzipping everything I upload here.

I am pretty sure this is possible. If it would be really helpful to you I can look into making a version like this in the near future. I just need to take a quick look at my deckalized mapping notes.

If you need a mapping like this soon or I forget, please remind me though. A lot of people ask me for mapping help and sometimes it's hard to keep up.

Check your In/Out ports and make sure they are set to your Midi Fighter. As for deleting the other mappings, in the future if you want to simply add a mapping and keep your others use the "Add..." button under the Device listbox and select "Import" from there instead of using the large "Import" button on the bottom left of the Controller Manager.

I have tried to load the tsi several times as is always recommended

The FX is set to slice see below for a a screen shoot
http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/att...0&d=1285504113
and here is some soundsamples
http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18383

regarding the beatgrid mapping is fine but maybe something is wrong with my traktor settings.

I also get the feeling that the problem is on my setup and not a general issue.


Appreciate the help ;)

@ Flashflooder I would like these tsi's also, it would be very handy for freedom with my two mf's and Kontrol X1 :D

That's quiet a big change to the config, as you'd need 2 entire free modifiers and I'm sure switching back and forwards would do some odd stuff.

But if your just using one midifighter to bounce between A and B that's an easy change... 1MF between 2 decks easy (using focus and a modifer to make it go A to B, B to A and not through the loop)
2MF's 4 decks... o man that's going to be a bitch.

great mapping!
just cant seem to make either MF load a track anyone else having this issue?

ive have tried loading the file several times and still every thing works but the loading track part i am using two midi fighters and an external mixer id really love to figure this out to keep me of my mouse lol

Are you using either of the Focus versions? Those do not have loading ability. The Deckalized version has a "load next song in the current playlist" function as the Shift+Sync function. I have verified that this works.

So I finally took a little time to start thinking about how to do this and there is enough modifier space but not enough conditions (why can't I have more than two per entry!) left to do this in the mapping. I'll brainstorm if there's a way around this, but as of now I don't think there is.

So, long story short, it can't be done while maintaining the complete Deckalized mapping. However, it may be possible if I remove some (or maybe a lot of) subfunctions or shift functions. I can look into this if people want.

no i am using the The Deckalized version i have attempted to load the tsi and everything goes smoooth and all other functions work with proper led feedback but for some reason the Shift+Sync function will not load a song the midi light on traktor turns on so i kno its sending midi and im running the current clean version ot TPRO (1.2.6) i could only think of one more thing could anyone do me the favor of messaging me the tsi? it be greatly appreciated!

Hmmm interesting. Can you post up/pm your notes? I'm currently trying to mod up this mapping to be more of a Auxiliary controller (think running TSP with vinyl/cds and using the MF for effects, cues etc) and having notes on how it's been designed would be ace.

As a side note... what's Modifier 1 doing? I see you setting it to 0 alot but never setting it to anything else (this is on the focus mapping... hhmmm was it used for the deckalised mapping?)

Hey,

I will be getting two midi fighters soon.

I was just analyzing the mapping

has a "duplicate deck" function considered? I will be looking to figure something out when i get them myself! Just tossing it out in the open

Hi FlashFlooder,

I'm loving the Deckalized Focus AB mappings for the Midi Fighter, but I'm not too fond of how the beatslicer works during sample mode in the Deckalized mappings vs the single Midi Figther 1.1 tsi. It seems that how the beatslicer works on the single midi fighter tsi, is more subtle compared to the deckalized focus mapping.. is there any way I could change the beatslicer parameters on the deckalized mapping so they are similar to the single midi fighter tsi?

+1 I definitely preferred the old beatslicer as well...

Thank god I wasn't the only one that felt like that, please if anyone knows how.. let me know!

Hey guys, I will take a look into this and see what the differences are but honestly, it is probably not going to happen until sometime next week. It has been crazy busy trying to deal with S4's, custom midi fighters, and all of the other projects I have going on. If you guys have any other requests, post them here so when I dive back into the new/old mappings I can take a look at everything.

any news on this? i have tried all the tipsa bove and no luck
maybe someone could post a song that we know the beatgrid is perfect on nad i could try that??

I would like more beatmasher parameters, so I can chop the loop up finer and maybe jump backward and forwards. to be honest I dont use the additional mode activated by pressing shift and rec in beat juggle mode. Would ditching this provide enough space for 1MF on deck AB and the other on CD?

hey i use the ab focus mapping and i recently started messing with 4 decks and the 4 deck tsi is quite troublesome to use bc if one wants to get back to deck A one has to cycle through all the decks so i was wondering if possible to be able to perhaps maybe use shift+cue for decks C&D to emulate shift+ sync for Decks A&B

I apologize for the delay. It's been super busy and I know you guys have been expecting this but at least it is finally here. I've attached the Deckalized Focus_AB version with the Slicer settings from the original MF 1_1 tsi. They are definitely more subtle when it comes to the Sample Slice 5-8 buttons but I'll let you guys decide for yourself which one you like better.

If there are other versions of the Deckalized mapping that you would like to see these changes on as well, let me know and I will do it (quickly this time hopefully) to make up for my tardiness.

You could replace Juggle mode with more Beatmasher effects but it would be weird to replace the Sample Slicer with Beatmasher effects because you can only access that after using the "Sample" (i.e., Rec) button.

As for 1 MF on AB and one on CD, this is more difficult and I'm pretty sure you would have to redesign a fair amount of the mapping. The reason is because the Focus_AB version uses Traktor's Deck Focus (the orange highlight on the Deck letter) function; but, since only one deck can be focused at a single time you can't use Traktor's Deck Focus function to swap between Decks A/B on one MF and C/D on the other.

A number of people have asked about a similar mapping so maybe if I have some free time I will try to put it together eventually.

Mod1 is supposed to be a secondary tracker of the "Sampler" function being on; however, if I remember correct, it is only used on the non-focus Deckalized mapping (the one with four mappings, one for each deck). In that mapping, you should see M1 go to 5 when you activate the sampler.

---

I think the way you're describing is a little weird but you could easily use Shift+Cue to have the Focus cycle backwards so you could scroll forward or back and not have to cycle thru all of them if you want to go from B back to A for example. You would however have to remove the Shift+Cue=Drop Cue functionality.

Hey the downloads on this page dont work?
It says the item is Invalid when i try to open it ??

I'm getting an MPD26 and can't wait to combine/map this out. Thanks for the TSI support flashflooder!

I need some help!

I'm trying to import the deckalized mapping for traktor pro 1.2.2 for mac but when I import it there doesn't seem to be any information in the assignment table. I don't know if it is because I need a newer version of traktor but I can't seem to update it via the native instruments website. After I download the mapping the shortcut thumbnail has a picture of the black screen with exec. on it.

Any help?!

In order for this mapping to function properly you need at least Traktor Pro version 1.2.4 or above. I would try updating your Traktor software again.

They should and have worked for others. I would try again, maybe with a different browser.

If you are referring to the initial zip files, some people have had problems unzipping them. I use 7-zip (7-zip.org) and it seems to work well for everyone I've recommended it to.

I've also seen a few problems with Firefox on a few different sites when downloading zip files. Not sure if it's related, but switching to a different browser seems to fix it. Wonder if FF changed something in a recent update?
