Answer to mapping questions

[tombruton69]

I was sent s pm by faid jair asking "im trying to set a fader to activate the third chained effect when it reachs certain position..."
(as ean does here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMP7yMvNja8

So here is the simple solution that will effect, effect unit one in chained mode. It controls any effects that are loaded into slots one and 3. All you need to do is map all the following controls to one encoder. From here you can play about with the sensitivity to it more or less responsive. I found my herc rmx to sometimes be a bit buggy (when moving the encoder very fast) with this and the latest version of traktor but works perfect on other controllers.

PS I have taken my hercules rmx appart about ten times probs dnt help

I am nearly done with my book on MIDI mapping. The book will also contain ways of dealing with buggy controllers and expand on effects with many examples ranging from a simple solution like this to full solutions that will auto set up values like in the video.

If any1 has any other questions please fire away the harder the better. Or any suggestions for my book. BTW the book will be free but donations would be nice so i can continue its evolution

any way to handle the 1.2 firmware bug of the VCI-100 without changing the actual firmware?

[tombruton69]

What is the firmware bug.

I don't believe you can map a knob/fader to turn on a button at the middle or end of it's travel without Bomes. Only the beginning. The VCI firmware and the new Midi fighter firmware give you Midi notes to map in the middle and end of the knob/fader range, but that is on the hardware side of things. Ean came up with this for his Fader Fx Theory.

[tombruton69]

if you dont beleive it try the above mapping. Will also be coving bomes in my book at some point probs not 1st edition but most things ppl say you need it for you really dont

[VanGogo]

Sorry I read over it too quickly. Are you using an encoder or are you using a fader/knob and selecting encoder in the mapping?

[tombruton69]

that mapping is for an encoder. Can be done with knobs aswell

[tombruton69]

If you want a mapping for this on a fader or knob id be more than happy to make one

[VanGogo]

I need to read more closely before posting.
The chart you listed shows that you inverted the button action so it does turn on at the 100% mark of the encoder instead of 0+, and yes that will turn on the effect at the end of a fader, knob, or encoder. I think your solution is great, and can't believe I didn't think of it, lol. But it isn't quite the same thing as the VCI Fader Fx because they also have a note in the middle to map to, as well as a note at the end. Your way achieves almost the same capability to play the Fx though.
Also curious, what is the modifyer 7 for in your chart as it relates to this mapping?

[tombruton69]

just noticed i Have made a mistake in my chart. Modifier 7 condition should be 7 for effect 3 on for it to work. with this method it is possible to do the same effect as ians just need to change some values and add a few things
