11 new "MacroFX" single-knob combination effects (obviously need to add these.)
-thinking about adding these to the second layer of possible effects modes (i.e. shift + jog press = second layer) and only one per mode.
"Flux Mode" retains song position during HotCues, Beatjumps, Loops etc.
-not sure what button or group of buttons (i.e. shift + some button) to use here. Any ideas?
Post-Fader mode for FX Units
-I'd love to be able to toggle this somehow, but I am not even sure it is controllable with a mapping. Need to check. But if it is, where to put it? Or is it already controllable. Need to check
New gain system with independent Channel Gain knobs and Auto-Gain knobs
-not sure what an autogain knob is supposed to be, but since my mapping overrides the gain knobs, I will definitely see if I can do this with the override function and still integrate this new function too.
New "Z ISO" EQ and "Z" filter models as featured on Z2 mixer
-I doub't it is possible, but wouldn't it be cool, if you could switch the type of EQ on the fly without entering the Preferences window?
New "QuickSnap" behavior for the EQ and Filter controls
-thinking on how to actually make an effect mode with this. Could be interesting?

What do you think?

Hey scamo, I am excited to see this new mapping, keep up the good work. The mapping looks really good!

But, with my MPB and a fairly fast latency, I can still press the jog quickly to prime the effect mode and not interrupt the music any. It also sort of gives you a visual feedback as to what mode is selected, once you do the priming. Just be careful in mode 2 with "priming" more than once. It will launch the TTFX.

I use a button to increment Modifiers for switching FX Modes, instead of a knob, and I was having the same issue. My solution was to move the Effects Selector commands to this button. Now when I increment the Modifiers, the FX selections change too, and they turn on with the first press of the activating button.

In order for it to work, when you're mapping the Effect Selector, you have to set Fader/Knob to "invert" first, and then change the type of controller to Button as normal.

One possible downside is that you can't switch instantly from one active FX Mode to another, because as soon as you start incrementing the Modifier, you will lose any active FX.

I don't know if you can do this with a knob, but I thought you might be interested.

Awesome mapping by the way. And thanks for all the videos!

sweet thanks i will have a look through the mapping and see if i can get it to be the way i want it

oh one i thing ive noticed dont know wether its because of this mapping or something else but when i use hot cues it also changes my normal cue point so basically i have to remove 1 cue point so i can have it saved as the start of a track if you get what i mean... is there a button somewhere to change this?? sorry im still really new to this only got traktor and an s4 a week ago ish and used to mixing on vinyl so kinda a big change up!

but yeah thanks for an awesome mapping

Hey Scamo,

quick question what did u mean when u wrote for Army of me's effect that you can use incremental mode where u dont have to use the job wheel?

**eazygoeshard** · 11-08-2012, 04:27 PM

Dont i need the file for controller editor?

**scamo** · 11-08-2012, 11:35 PM

@Dj DoUg - if you press shift and the jog when in mode 8, then you "prime" the effect and have to turn the jog and not press the platter to adjust the effect. Press the jog though again, and you are back to the regular "one-shot" mode.

@easygoeshard - The mapping (the file) is in the first post of this thread.
