Some unnecessary background info...
I'm trying to come up with an intuitive layout for my UC-33e mapping but I'm drawing a blank for certain spots. I'm not much of a controllerist/beat juggler. Simple crossfades, a couple hard slams, a dash of effects here or there to spice things up or help with BPM/genre transitions. Sparse use of looping, mostly for extending a short intro or outro for slow deck fades.I'm doing my first live gig soon at a college. Nothing too special. Every Friday and Saturday students who sign up can play some tunes outside while everyone gets drunk and have a good time. My friend got a slot and decided to hand it over to me after my nonstop complaints of people mostly using randomized iTunes playlists and poor song selections.
My set-up will be as followed:
1st Macbook running Max/MSP Jitter controlled by M-Audio Trigger Finger for visuals
2nd Macbook running Traktor Pro controlled by Evolution UC-33e for audio
Here's a quick demo if anyone needs a better idea of my (amateur) style, with transitions marked:

And this is the layout I've come up with so far, with unsure spots marked with question marks and possible choices:
So to summarize: if you were mapping for this controller, what would you use the empty spots for?
