TSP 2.6 info (download available)

If you have an F1 you can map this without a footswitch.
The Filter On knobs send out hold messages when not at 0.

Map to Filter.1.On:
Flux Mode On > Button > Hold
Select/Set+Store Hot Cue (8) > Button > Hold
Delete Hot Cue (8) > Direct
I picked hotcue 8 as it's least likely to be filled.
This can be mapped to any filter on knob, I just chose filter 1.

I don't have Scratch but I stopped playback with the mouse - oneapemob says control vinyl works so it should work.

Sorry for crap vid ;)

Yeah, the Cue Point Flux Scratch was the closest I got.

But it needs more work (by me) to get all the commands together.

I did not try creating a Cue and then jumping to it on hold and scratching.

I did it in one go...

Will try that and mess about!

Thanks for the input bro!

No problem :D

Yeah the issue is Timecode vinyls.

Using a mouse is still ON and OFF, click and let go.

You dont have that with Timecode Vinyls, thus the footswitch.

So it will be sending different commands...will check it out tho.

Is it still worth upgrading even though there is this issue? Can't remember what version I'm using but it's nice and stable. Don't want agro. Got an important gig in 2weeks?

Nah man I was just showing that flux mode stays on without having to hold a button (or footswitch)
You turn the filter knob and it turns flux on, sets a cuepoint and acts as if you were holding the cue button down (so it stays in flux mode)
BUT, you need an F1 to get it to work..

How do you release then? Without removing your hand from the vinyl and other hand from the fader?

No No....there is nothing 'wrong' with this release....its very stable (from the 6 hour jam I did on Sat) and the Fluxmode works sweetly with Cue Juggling etc.

Its just 'slipscratch' that we are trying to get working.

Its not a CDJ....so the functionality is not directly there. We will have to map and create it.

:)

Now, we are trying to map it and figure out which commands will use.

So far...we stumped. Still have some testing to do....so lets see.

You don't :)
You'd have to quicky flick the filter off with one hand. But you can let go, start and stop the vinyl without it exiting flux mode.

A foot pedal would work better but this is a workaround for those that don't have one, but have an F1.

SWEET!
Thanks, gonna test it this weekend!

Will give the feedback on how it goes!


:)

Still cant make it work, I've mapped a button (and tried a switch) to set a cue, as you've described but the green line is still controlled by the timecode vinyl.

Check this vid that shows the behaviour:

Am I doing something wrong or is this a Windows only issue?

argh.. .played a show last night.. 2 decks running, pressing play on Deck C aaaaand it's gone.. silence, traktor crashed :cursing:

I've run it through some abuse now with no problems. Not a single crash as of yet after some 12 hours of use. *knocks on wood*

I've had two crashes and both while I was beat gridding songs and doing very little with the software. Lost all my work into the bargain.

When I've put it through its paces it has worked fine.

I did a gig this weekend playing for 5 hours in a club and the cpu meter was fluxuating a lot and i had some cracks and pops that sounded so bad i thought the music would stop alltogether!!! Why do this always happen with new updates I should have stuck with 2.5!

i havent had any issues with 2.6 at all other than the loop active midi control not toggling correctly

can anyone explain this? im on 2.5.1 and service centre says im up to date, if i download from ni website and run the installer i get this

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...04at172549.png

This version is a disaster. Connection to two CDJ900s is utterly useless. We can no longer assign the HID to a specific deck from the CDJ and there doesn't appear to be any way to assign this within the software. What it's doing on both my PC and MAC is using both CDJs to control one track. I can get the MIDI to map to each appropriate track but anything that is HID controlled is impossible to correctly assign.

This is making 2.6 completely worthless for me to use in the club and at WNUR's studio. I'm going to have to role back to 2.5 if I cannot fix it this morning cause I have an election show I have to start preparing for.

Anyone have any suggestions? Please? I'm desperate.

2.6.1 better hurry at this point

dont know if anyone else remark this but I had some problems with it earlier too but it seem like the software "learns " his mistakes and stuff are running smoothly now for me. Also, opening Traktor before plugging in everything seem to make it run smoother cause sometimes, i would get problem with the audio when i plug hardware and then open traktor

HAHAHAHAHA

Learns from its mistakes?

I know its German software...but it can't be THAT clever....I mean deutsch technik and all....

:)

I think it was just the macro effects, first time they were loaded in they spiked my cpu and glitched out traktor but its have been ok since, Still hikes the cpu just engaging an fx bank with them in but not spiking into the red.

I get glitches the first time I activate an FX bank. If I activate them as part of my startup protocol then there's no issues the rest of the time.

This. I also turn on and off the FX units for each deck beforehand. No problems afterwards.

I rolled back last night. This release is far too unstable for professional use.

lol yea, why i put learn in parentheses. Seem a little crazy but I think so.
On mine I have "check consistency" enabled so it checks the software before i use it.
I dont have any music on my harddrive, they are all on an SD card and the first few times, it did not recognise the SD card
and then, one day it totally did and they all got analyzed and everything so IDK.

The consistency check only verifies that your the links to the files in your library are working as they should, it doesn't check the software integrity.

Does this work ok with Midi Fighter utility 2.1 for a Classic and Pro Beatmasher? Want to know before I update - haven't even jumped to 2.5 yet as seen some reports people's MFs have stopped instant gratting?

+1

Shouldn't be that way though.

Care to elaborate on your startup protocol?

I'm guessing he plays a track and activates the FX before playing through the master outs.

That way he gets the initial glitches out of the way.

Petty much this and that's it now. I say protocol out of habit probably from when I was using the DJTT mapping with my VCI-100. You used to have to press buttons and do several steps to make sure the correct effects and things were loaded properly.

Anyone hear from NI about this release? Have they acknowledged the various bugs and terrible resource management?

if I read all this, I'm happy that I'm always wait and read reviews before I update...
I think I'll skip this release and wait for the 2.6.1

Have they fixed the eq not being able to be killed properly or can that be sorted with mapping or something?

Yes, there's a new full kill EQ mode.

Gonna have to update then. What do you mean by mode?
What should I do before updating? Backup the collection file? What do I do with it once it's been updated?

Do most of the Macro FX need the dry/wet turned all the way up?

Its another EQ option in the mixer section of the preferences. before you had the option of: p600, nuo, classic, and xone. Now there is the addition of p900 and the Z ISO...the Z ISO is full kill.

Don't see why they would "require" it all the way up. You can use them like any other of the non-macro FX and only add as much of the wet signal as you want.
