Novation Dicer Mapping Cue/Loop Point mapping LED help

[Blak Majik]

Thanks. I've tried everything you suggested, and no luck. It must be something abou the Dicer itself

A side note here is that, as BradCee mentions in the LED programming article, when mapping Hotcue State, the behavior is not as predictable with the Controller Range of MIN=0 and MAX=1. Depending on what type of cue is set (Load, Grid, Cue, Fade In/Out or Loop), the behavior is different, with some requiring the blend to be checked and others no blend.

Hey everyone!

There are two LED output options in Traktor Controller Manager.

First is controller range.

This is the range of the control the corresponding input is mapped to. For example, Play/Pause can have two values, 0 or 1, so the default controller range that comes up when you create the Play/Pause LED output is 0 Min, 1 Max.

Example 2: Hotcue # type. There are 7 different types of hotcues, so -1 Min, 5 Max shows up. You can view the hotcue types in the pull-down cue menu on the right side of the deck advanced tab. The cue types are: --- (there is no cue saved), Cue, fade-in, fade-out, load, grid, loop. Each one has it's own number. If you do 3 Min 3 Max, the LED comes on only if the cue is a Load Cue. If you do 0 Min, 5 Max, the LED comes on for all cue types except --- (there is no cue).

Controller range sets which values the LED reacts to. Kind of like a condition for it to turn on.

The second set of LED output options is called Midi Range.

These numbers tell Traktor what value to send to the MIDI controller, to be interpreted as LED on/off status or color (if the controller is equipped with multi-color LEDs). The Novation Dicer contains 3 colors of LEDs, and can be mapped to output 8 different colors with 15 brightness levels for each color.

To get ONE color output, set the Min and Max to the same value in the MIDI range section.

The LED color outputs for the Novation Dicer are as follows:
0 - OFF
1 - dim red - 15 bright red
16 - OFF
17 - dim red/orange - 31 bright red/orange
32 - OFF
33 - dim red/orange - 47 bright red/orange
48 - OFF
49 - dim orange/red - 63 bright orange/red
64 - OFF
65 - dim orange - 79 bright orange
80 - OFF
81 - dim orange/green - 95 bright orange/green
96 - OFF
97 - dim green/orange - 111 bright green/orange
112 - OFF
113 - dim green - 127 bright green

How does this work with a range of numbers (different MIN and MAX values)?
When the controller range value is NOT within the MIN and MAX values, Traktor sends the MIN value of the midi range to the controller.
When the controller range value is within the MIN and MAX values, Traktor sends the MAX value of the midi range to the controller.

Example 1: Play/Pause
controller range: 0 to 1
midi range: 0 to 127
When deck is not playing (value 0), Traktor sends 0 to the LED. When deck is playing (value 1), Traktor sends 127 to the LED.

Example 2: Hotcue type
In this example Hotcue 1 (or any other number 1-8) type has a default range of -1 to 5.
-1 means no hotcue exists in that slot. 0 through 5 are the types of hotcues (cue, fade-in, fade-out, load, grid, loop).
In this example, the range excludes controller range -1, so that one corresponds to a midi output of 15 (red).
All other numbers 0 to 5 are within range, so Traktor sends a 127 to the controller (green).

Thanks for the great write-up Paulz1265!! I was able to figure out everything you mentioned but that should be a sticky post!

I would make that info right there a new thread...
