Hiya mate, do you have the issue when you try and move 3 or more faders at once? two move correctly and the third kind of skips and doesn't respond as expected?

I don't think its a mapping issue as it does it with ableton to.

It's not really an issue but I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced this.

Secondly, do you have all the LED's working in this map?

the last row of hotcues ( channel 8) will delete hotcue,

the scene launch is loop active

channel 4 effect 2

channel 5 effect 4

channel 5678 activator turn effect 1 on
solo effect 2
record arm 4

effect 4 chained is located in sliders
full screen mode is now located at stop button near cross fader
clear search is now in stop all clips button

all led's are working! any bugs or additions or subtractions let me know

any reviews please?

Jo3: I have the same issue. Haven't had it be a problem live yet, but I could see it being a drag. Definitely not a software issue.

Thanks! I really feel that that video is a big improvement to my other video game videos. The other ones seemed to drag on too much both in length and pacing. I think I'm getting closer to the formula I need to achieve for my videos but I still need as much feedbacks as possible to reach that point.

I'll let you know tonight.

I have been unable to successfully map the LED output to this. It seems the buttons on the APC40 erase any state that I had already sent to it. So I can initialize the buttons to flash or be whatever color, but any subsequent pressing of these buttons erases the state and sends the buttons back into their default mode where they only light green when held. I can't get them to respond to any subsequent LED output commands I send to them.

I'm thinking your TSI should clear up a few things for me.

Hey Joey,

Awesome map, best that I have found so far and close to what I wanted to do myself. I haven't figured all of the buttons yet, but will do over the next couple of days.

Have you updated the mapping since posting this original thread?

I'd like to solve the problem of only having the clip launch buttons lit when there is a loop loaded for that track.

Cheers,
Pete

i will post my additions to the map. everything that is possible to map out in traktor pro is mapped ... still with room. i will post tsi with explanation tonight

Wow, sounds great! Can't wait to try...

i would like to try as well!

I just got my Mac and was using this with my PC. Works great.!!! If I start to make changes on it for myself do I need to do anything special for the LED's to continue to work?

Yeah< so Im new at this and I just set this thing up and ran it for the first time......literally! So I was wondering why you must hold the button down to get the track to continue to play. Do you have to hold it down the whole time????? Please excuse my ignorance.

switch the button from direct to toggle in the Controller manager.

I'm not sure on this mapping though. I think all the buttons on top are made to be your cues. (If i remember right, I don't use this anymore... I made my own mapping that works with the L.E.D's and all effects. etc.) The play buttons should be towards the bottom of the controller. Like i said though I don't have it in front of me and I have not used this TSI since I switched to Mac.

Sorry if I missed it but I was wondering how you control the pitch...I have an apc40 I use for my live show but if this works for traktor as well (and you trust it in a performance situation) I am very interested in checking this out

any updates on this guys? I just downloaded it, find it very useful but cant really get the hang of it yet.. this is my first foray into traktor and I tried to load the tsi without even knowing and found it incredibly easy, great piece of software soo far..

if i could only get to know it a little better..
