Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

[DjCh3]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has a video (or other material) to help a complete noob to mapping in Traktor. I have the S4 and want to make a custom mapping but don't really know what the f**k I am doing lol. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I just wanted to put out a word to keep you motivated.
It really isn't all that hard!

this site will give you all the tools to create you're Ideal mapping!

There's probably no plug and play fix for you're wishes and the mapping screen is a b*tch but if you're not still asking you're mam to whipe you're ass you will get it eventually..

Somebody can help me? I've a question about led's mapping, I've got a akai lpd8 and I use it in traktor 2 as sample decks+ fx advanced and filter, and the leds turns on when the pad is push and goes down when it's push again (I map it all in toggle) but I want make it workin in the opposite way, so when the control it's off the led has to be on and when it's push the led has to turn off.
Any idea?
As always I apologise for my English lol (Italian school sucks)

the lpd8 has an "issue" where the pad led will *always* turn off when u let go of it - regardless of any midi feedback sent to it from traktor etc (and ofc turn on whenever u press it)

the trick i use in my midimasher code is that as soon as the lpd8 sends an ON or OFF messages for any pad the code checks to see what midi data had previously been sent to it and if they're not the same then it sends another message back to the lpd8 to set/reset it.

i have an example midimasher lpd8 mapping in my sig for the lpd8 if u wanted to give it a try.

Got it, thanks I spent more than two hours yesterday tryin' to solve this problem, but now that's all clear because in every case of midi feedback the led workin always in the same way, thanks a lot mate, I'm goin to try the midimasher's mapping and let you know if somethin happened!

cool... i *think* i crammed a bit too much into the lpd8 layout, but it's not too hard to tweak:

+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| slicer | slicer | sync   | deck   |  
| on/off |loopmode|        | a/b    |  \
+--------+--------+----- --+--------+   * PAD mode
| play   | cue    | seek-  | seek+  |  /
|        |        |        |        |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| hot    | hot    | hot    | hot    |  
| cue 1  | cue 2  | cue 3  | cue 4  |  \
+--------+--------+--------+--------+   * CC mode
| loop   | loop-  | loop+  | shift  |  /
| active |        |        |        |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| beatjmp| beatjmp| beatmp | beatjmp|  
| -16    | -8     | +8     | +16    |  \
+--------+--------+--------+--------+   * PC mode
| beatjmp| beatmp | beatjmp| beatjmp|  /
| -4     | -2     | +2     | +4     |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+

it basically gives you 15 pads per deck, and a deck a/b toggle

that's all defined in config/lpd8.lua

edit: this code is one of the fixes i had to put in for example for the lpd8 in that file:

        -- the lpd8 turns the led off when u release, keep it on if hotcue is set

        if v == 0 then
            if get("traktor", hotcue_state) > 0 then
                send(d, e, ON, p)
            end
        end

my s2 djtt mapping makes my browser skip every other song. how do i change this? it doesnt go 1 by 1 it skips one down. the other problem is my crossfader isnt working O.o it will be all the way left and ill still hear things from deck 2 wtf

[Bread Freshley]

any mapping gods out there making a decent traktor mapping for the Twitch?

I dont mind the stock one but ideally i would like to use the "beatgrid" mode for the performance pads as a mini 8 button instant gratification set up if that makes sense but I am a total noob with mapping traktor.

I got you, homie. Instant Grat, FaderFX, SLICER. I'll be finished soon.



Can anyone help me decode how to implement the Midi Fighter beatmasher combo? The one that spins down all awesome-like after 4 button presses.

how have u implemented the SLICER? not just using the beat slicer within traktors effects?
