I'm not gonna post everything in the book word for word as I don't feel comfortable with that but I will post what is in the intro paragraph about it.
The MIDI out features of Traktor can not only used to control the LEDs or other controls on a MIDI controller. Additionally you can send MIDI data to Traktor that Traktor outputs back to Traktor in a loop back. The incoming data then can move a knob, fader or slider.
He then goes on to give examples and uses for this such as an Auto-Pan button, Sending the beat phase of one deck to the balance knob of another deck. I haven't been able to delve into that section too deeply just yet as I am still working on getting my LEDs to function with simple commands.
Honestly anyone who owns a copy of Traktor should spend the extra 30$ for the book it answers so many questions. I haven't looked at what was added in the latest edition but that just adds to the value.
Got it working by rerouting it with ableton and T1, but not T2 damn it!
edit: finally working on T2.
To route it with ableton you need to send a midi note, not a CC. Open a blank liveset, on a midi channel set monitor to in and set channels ins and outs to traktor virtual in/out.
I can check this tomorrow if I can remember. Would do it now but I don't have my bible with me at the moment.Quote:

Just realised that the fact I've got magic midi loop back could well be that I've got MIDI Yoke installed on windows. Could be that any devices with 'all ports' selected as in or outs could be getting this info as a result!
the problem i have is that i want to be able to do this in nhl mode, cause i use a kontrol x1.
@denisps2... not possible in nhl mode mate, but you'll be able to use the MIDI page to do some stuff
when you first started this I thought there was going to be some midi yoke involvement...Quote:

As I thought it was a great idea and because I was aware of Rainer's idea about moving a knob based on the beat phase, I just had a go at it and almost got it working.
At first when I read the thread I understood you didn't need any external program (may be my bad english understanding), actually I didn't find a solution as I don't see how without any help Traktor could loop a midi message to itself. So I downloaded Loopbe1 (the free version). And it works with it (I'm working on a pc right now). Of course at this point and because I only tried with one deck and one feedback message, I'm not sure what are the potential restrictions of Loopbe.
I got the 1st modifier to alternate between 0 and 1, marking the beat, and use that to feed the rest of the modifiers. Unlike you Lethal and because all modifiers being reset to 0 at the start of my controller I worked with all other modifiers in an ascending scale (modifier 2 goes from 0 to 7, then engages modifier 3 from 1 to 7 which engages modifier 4 from 1 to X?). Bearing in mind I wanted to work on a scale of 16 beats for my tries. When modifier 4 comes to X, it resets itself and all the other modifiers. Fine. the rest is quite easy to set up, different FX events happening during the scale of those 16 beats BUT:
my main issue is timing as it comes from which beat phase monitor's range to choose (I chose to try the sharpest so something like -0.1/0.1 , under those - almost - the feedback message isn't properly read). Then another issue is that to scale properly, the modifiers need to have the invert option ticked (unless they just scale very quickly). So all events created during those 16 beats aren't very well timed, almost close, but not perfect (because of the invert option they happen 'just' - very close, but not satisfactory enough to my taste - after the beat).
Any thoughts on your side please?
I wanted to make a short video with examples (I created some funky things) but I didn't want to spoil the pleasure from you. So let me know if that's ok for you if I upload some sometime during the next days or if you prefer me to wait. As I said, I think you were very clever so thanks for being inspirational.
No, you carry on mate! I haven't had the chance to work on this much so I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff!
