Nanokontrol2 on Traktor2 (4decks+metronomes+browsing+loop recorder)|v0.5

[zestoi]

Thanks a lot!!!
It works in the midimasher, but after, i donno why, but there's still nothing...
I launch Midimasher, everything seems ok, but after, nothing happens... I use the instant grat 1.0.3 tsi... I loaded it twice, etc...
I don't understand...

can u run debug.bat instead of midimasher.bat, press a couple of buttons on the lpd8 and paste me the output? or running debug_file.bat will create u a file called debug.txt of all the debug once you press ctrl-c to exit it (debug won't get flushed always if u close the dos box by clicking afaik).

just need to know whether midimasher is sending the midi fighter midi to traktor or not - then we'll know whether it's my issue or a traktor setup one.

Here's the debug file.
My traktor config is :
Midimasher MM to Traktor/Traktor to MM (focus)
MF Bank[A] : MidiFighter1 Input/Midifighter1 Output (Deck A)
MFBank[B] : MidiFighter1 Input/Midifighter1 Output (Deck B)
MFBank[C] : MidiFighter1 Input/Midifighter1 Output (Deck C)
MFBank[D] : MidiFighter1 Input/Midifighter1 Output (Deck D)

What did I do wrong?

there's no data in that debug log at all from your lpd8 - very odd. can u press some buttons when traktor isn't playing - and see whats in the log? tho there should have been lpd8 and midi fighter stuff in there as well as the beatphase and levels from traktor ofc.

you don't get any warnings from midimasher when u start it now?

ah - did u use the akai lpd8 editor and configure your lpd8 with the file settings/lpd8_editor_config.txt ?

could be your lpd8 is setup differently to mine *but* there still should have been some messages in the debug log from your lpd8 - even if midimasher didn't understand what the messages were.

i'll plug in my lpd8 tomorrow with traktor and dble check things and paste the output i would expect to see.

any input from any connected midi device should be in that log in theory.

at least we know that traktor is connected now ofc as the beatphase is in there.

In the beginning of the debug file, I pressed a few buttons before launching traktor...
However, I found a solution. Not the best, but it works more or less and let me wait my foreseas coming midifighter!

very odd then. i even run my real midi fighter via midimasher so i can dynamically switch it between normal and 4banks modes.

sounds like it wasn't able to connect to the lpd8 properly anyway.

Does it mean I found a bug ? :$

has to be some kind of bug, might just be it wasn't able to connect but didn't report it properly, which would still be a bug ofc. all i can do is test on my own devices+setup and hope it works on other peoples. i'm definately relying on people like you to help me test and make it more reliable

is there any chance u could give it another shot? in debug mode run that config but without traktor and see if u get any debug at all when u press button on the lpd8? and if not do u get any output when u run dump.exe, select the lpd8 and press some buttons?

it's almost the weekend and i have plenty of time to fix any issues in midimasher and also going to finally release a full multipage launchpad config.

probably going to mod the "itch slicer" to use the method chris described on the blog post "String Theory for DJs". it'll still flash each pad on the beat like the twitch one but use his method of dropping a hot cue at the start of the 8 beats and always jumping to that cue before then sending beatjumps back to where i need to be. should make it much more reliable.

that "twitch slicer" also works on the lpd8 btw - any grid controller in fact - even any controller that has grid pads in it's devices file, tho it's much more fun with led feedback on the pads

Ok... I'll do it for shure!

awesome - much appreciated

Here's my second debug file. It takes some times to do it (my day by day installation is ubntu based...).

This looks even worse than the previous backtrace with traktor...
Nevertheless, hope it helps...

BTW, the nanokontrol2 thread was totaly highjacked by our midimasher talk... No offense, I did the half of the answers
