The Ultimate FX Thread

Agreed. I'm pretty much ready to sell off the 3D for a pro.

Looks MFpro have been discontinued...

That's not okay with me.

Been messing with Tape Delay last night trying to make a solution for control using one macro knob.



This effect uses Tape delay in single unit mode and Transpose, Reverb and Peak filter in group unit mode. There is an order in layering effects in Traktor if we want other effects to play on top of others. It's very important to set Tape delay for example at Unit #1 and secondary effects in Unit #2 so #2 could modulate the sound of primary unit.

Effect ON/reset button (Unit #1):
Add In > FX Unit > Unit On / button-toggle
Add In > FX Unit > Button 2 / button-toggle
Add In > FX Unit > Button 3 / button-direct / value=0
Add In > FX Unit > Effect Selector / button-direct / value=Tape Delay
Add In > FX Unit > FX Unit Mode Selector / direct-Single
note: Before you engage the effect button 2 should be ON in order for mapped BUTTON to toggle between 'unit ON' and 'button 2' on each press.

Macro knob:
Add In > FX Unit > Dry/Wet / fader-relative / rotary sensitivity=80% ; acceleration=0% / Unit 1
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 1 / button-direct / value=0.620 / Unit 1
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 2 / button-direct / value=0.690 / Unit 1
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 3 / fader-direct / Unit 1
Add In > FX Unit > Dry/Wet / fader-relative / rotary sensitivity=65% ; acceleration=0% / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 1 / fader-relative / rotary sensitivity=55% ; acceleration=0% / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 2 / button-direct / value=0.050 / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 3 / button-direct / value=0.850 / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Button 1 / button-hold / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Button 2 / button-hold / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Button 3 / button-hold / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Effect Selector / button-direct / value=Transpose Stretch / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Effect Selector / button-direct / value=Reverb / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > Effect Selector / button-direct / value=Peak Filter / Unit 2
Add In > FX Unit > FX Unit Mode Selector / direct-Group / Unit 2
note: Before using this knob, Transpose should be set for 0.500

I feel sooo dumb... I can't for the life of me manage to properly map this to my F1 in midi mode. I made a shift button to load everything on units 3 and 4 (unit 3 for Tape Delay and unit 4 for the other effects). For some reason it just won't work... I either have a complete mess or I'm missing something obvious. At least mapping everything on that list didn't make the tape delay knob 3 (speed) move at all and on the group effects only transpose stretch moves...

I'd appreciate any help puhhleeease

edit: I managed to somewhat getting it right this time. At least the tape delay part... Now... are the reverb and peak filter knobs supposed to move? cause mine don't move at all...

[Stewe]

Nope. The reverb and peak filter should just add some space and flavor to overall effect.

[The Pancaker]

Ahh good to know then! I was getting really frustrated... Thanks!

Is it possible to map all 3 super knob fx to 1 knob?
using 1 button to toggle through the 3 separate super knob FX?

Yeah just use modifiers!

Yeah just use modifiers!

I guess my real question was how to do it with modifiers?

Stewe - does the kill button apply to the MF3D? If so, how would I map a single button to act as the 'kill switch' on the effects that are on? I'm thinking about finally mapping my 4th bank on my 3D mapping and this would be a great add on, along with your 4 button ramp delay.

I'm actually trying to build the mapping like the RMX-1000 with a few builds, breakdowns and the kill effect would be awesome.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Off course. That switch applies to any button that sends note-on when pressed and note-off by releasing the button.
