[Traktor] Livid CNTRL:R Ultimate tool

[Stewe]

Hi Stewe,

First of all thanks for this great mapping, really love it. However I have also seen some of your other work and was wondering if you would add the remix deck sequencer as well? That would be totally awesome.

I'm also looking forward to the Freeze mode update, so I will keep an eye out on this thread.

Keep up the great work.

Hi Mike,

The Ultimate Tool is my personal mapping that I use to DJ and who ever uses it shouldn't be worried about new updates. I've already added the Freeze mode (4 deck focus module) but the FX Snapshot feature is something I should include in the next update - nice one!

The Remix Deck Sequencer is something that I could add to this mapping, if there were only two more modifier condition slots in Traktor. Perhaps with some new more powerful Traktor mapping interface in the future

Cheers! And enjoy the mapping!

Hi Stewe, thanks for your answer. I am really enjoying your mapping, this is what has drawn me back to Traktor, because I was mostly using Ableton. For me this made playing with Traktor fun again.

Could you tell me how to implement the sequencer myself in the controller? I find that bank 5 is not useful for me, so I could use that for some other purpose and the sequencer is definitely something that I would like to exchange it with. It would also make sense since the remix decks are on bank 6.

Cheers,

Traktor sequencer mapping is to complex to explain in words. But I can tell that at the end it comes to 25 mapping devices that are just handling sequences for four different voices which is already a lot. If I would want to add other features such as sample selectors or patern banks, that would also mean more map/room in the Device Menu which produces a huge lag when navigating trough device menu. (sometimes even crashes)

Don't forget that sequencer uses both of conditionals for modifiers where (in my mapping) one of them is always listening to the rule of the PAGE buttons. So even though you build a sequencer in to the Ultimate tool and map it to some Page button you still couldn't fully utilize all 16 steps because one conditional is in charge for first eight steps of the sequence. And then your other slot have to be a bank/page so your other modifiers in the Page selector grid wouldn't produce conflicts with the sequencer mod.

I've also experimented with the CNTRL:R internal 4 bank button incremental mode and have turning it in to the toggle button mode but that would also mean to duplicate entire mapping and translate to other channels... That would work but i simply don't have free time for that much work and it would take ages to focus, test and finalize that product which is already available for free.

Hi Stewe,

Thanks for explaining this. I will leave this out then and just keep syncing Traktor and Ableton so I can do my sequencing in Ableton. Thank you for your time to explain this and keep up the good work. I am working on an Ableton template at the moment and have created a new technique that could mimic the remix decks in Ableton. This means a full remix deck on one track, instead of using several tracks with loops in it. I will let you know when I'm finished with it and send you a copy if you are also using Ableton.

Hey Mike,

Yes I am also Ableton user and your template is something I would be glad to check out. Feel free to send me a PM when you have it finalized!

Thank you very much for your kind words

Take Care,

Hi Stewe,

The normal DJ template has already been released, but that is not the one that I am working on right now with the remix decks, but I can send you that one as well, just send me an email on: info@kliksynk.com and I will send a link to download the full version for free.

thanks

Hi Stewe,

no more updates for livid cntrl:r?

thanks

Yes! I'll update this mapping when NI release Traktor 2.9.0 with Stems Deck mappings.

[mikebosch]

Yes! I'll update this mapping when NI release Traktor 2.9.0 with Stems Deck mappings.

Now this is something I REALLY look forward to. Control over all type of decks in Traktor with one controller.
I'm gonna keep an eye out for this update.

Hi Stewe

I'm mapping the rmx1000 since I couldnt make it work entirely from your cfg.

It's not finished yet but I think the idea's there. I might have a problem when using the isolators I have the impression the volumes goes up too loud, I really don't know if its normal or not since I don't have a comparison point.

Regarding the effect toggling for Bank2, I do it manually at the moment.

Here it is, post #10 http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=88590

Could you have a look if you've got some time ?

Cheers !
