Traktor Slicer Idea

Okies, lemme handle your demands on by one...

Here's a screenshot of Dump.exe
The buttons I pressed, it's registrating... So it seems working fine.

awesome... so looks like i just have a bug in learn.exe then. tbh that was put together a bit *hackily* just so i could map my controllers more quickly than doing them by hand. i'll work out what's up and fix.... cheers for all the info and feedback - much appreciated

edit: no need to do anything else to help debug - if learn.exe is showing odd data but dump.exe is ok - then i just need to work out what's up with learn.exe.

Here's a screenshot of Midi-Ox.
I've changed the settings where i choosed the Midi-input [2] of the Xponent,
and it already registrates some values... of the pitch bend.
I'm beginning to think, this is an issue of my controller instead of your software, since 2 month ago, I poured some beer into my controller on accident, and had it repaired at some tv/video-doctor, as in, cleaning the board inside, aswell as the faders/etc.
Tho, this isn't a coincidence, that Midi-Ox is registrating stuff going on, altho I haven't touched anything yet.

Okies, just opened up Traktor 2 and immediately see the CTRL led on my screen, flickering on and off, so there's midi coming in.
Maybe this is becoz Learn.exe being an ass, or midi-ox, so let me turn off my controller and open up Traktor again...
Keep u updated!

ah...... ok - that explains a few things then. my idj was outputting data by itself before i removed the faulty pitch fader. if midi-ox is showing data when u don't press anything then it must be the controllers issue.

also that data there is a high resolution pitch bend - and midimasher doesn't handle those yet - hence why the odd data would have been seen.

tho i do have pitch bend buttons on my nanokey so this has reminded me that i need to add support for the high res pitch bend message at least. shouldn't be hard

cool cheers. tho midiox and/or learn.exe can't have the midi port open to your controller while traktor also does - so just looks like traktor is confirming what they show.

not a biggie if u don't need to use the pitch bend ofc. also i could compile u a learn.exe that just ignores those messages if u wanted.

Yep, just noticed it's my right pitch bend of my controller.. when i moved it up and down now, it doesnt get the input nomore (as in, the CTRL led stays off, and only goes on when i'm touching a button or doing other stuff on my controller).

[bascurtiz]

Okies, one more test, as u can see here...
The right pitch-bend, or.. pitch_bend_deck_b, is overruling, once I push other buttons, it goes back now and then to the value of that pitch-bend.

So guess my controller is fucked.
Altho i've never had any issues with it when DJing with this, I think?

shame - i guess the only way to fix it is to open it up and hope that there's some debris u can blow off or something that is causing the issue - or replace them.

only really an issue tho with using any software's "learn" feature - so long as it's not causing any other spurious midi messages to occur then u can just remove the mappings in traktor to do with your pitch fader and u shouldn't have any issues.

i can create u a midimasher devices file by hand (or via a bit of perl) if i can find a config file for it from some other app - maybe from torq or something

I have some ideas of how this might be possible and have the same flexibility as in Serato. I'll try some things and keep the forums posted.
